When Emma began her search for the perfect wedding dress, she never imagined her journey would lead to three dresses. “I searched for months and visited almost every bridal shop in London — my bridesmaids can definitely vouch for that!” she laughs. “Halfpenny London was always high on my list, so I saved it for one of my final appointments and it turned out to be absolutely perfect.”
From the moment she tried on a Halfpenny London dress, Emma knew she had found the one(s). “Kate kindly booked me in for a private appointment for my second visit, and it was truly magical. I remember calling my fiancé and almost crying, saying, ‘I think I’ve found the one!’”
“The blend of elegance and timeless simplicity in the dresses, paired with their beautifully extravagant accessories and that dreamy, slightly off-white shade — it was so unique.”
THE DRESS
For her civil ceremony at Chelsea Town Hall, Emma chose the Lexie dress, a timeless and graceful piece that reflected the understated elegance of the day.
When it came to her destination wedding in Greece, she envisioned something more statement-making. For the ceremony, she wore the Summer dress with the Dahlia dkirt and the Ariel bow.
For her second look, she removed the skirt, letting the Summer dress shine on its own. “It was so gorgeous and drew attention to the back, which was perfect for our first dance,” she says. “It moved so effortlessly and made me feel confident, graceful, and completely myself.”
Her final look of the evening was the Molly dress paired with the Issa dhrug, which made her feel “amazing right until the very end of the night.”
THE DAY
Emma and Marco’s wedding in Greece was nothing short of magical. “I’ll never forget the moment my husband saw me for the first time and started crying, telling me how beautiful I looked,” she recalls. Walking into the reception beneath glittering chandeliers, surrounded by family and friends from around the world, was pure joy. “I couldn’t stop smiling — it truly felt like a dream.”
“Wearing all my Halfpenny London outfits made me feel stunning — truly the best version of myself. Those timeless looks are something I’ll treasure forever.”
