Beautiful bride McKenna and her new husband Mark celebrated their love with a beautiful wedding at Hampton Court House, a glamorous and romantic venue in Surrey. Set within acres of 18th century gardens, it’s full of character, a hidden gem situated opposite Hampton Court Palace and the perfect backdrop for McKenna and Mark’s big day.

McKenna had really taken the time to explore her options when it came to finding her wedding dress but hadn’t yet discovered her perfect look until she visited our London flagship boutique.

“From the moment I stepped into Halfpenny's charming boutique and atelier in King's Cross,” said McKenna, “I knew I had finally (and I truly mean 'finally' after a never ending list of dress appointments elsewhere) found the place where I'd curate the dress of my dreams. From the first smile and hug from [Halfpenny London stylist] Megan as I walked through the door to perusing the different separates that could be mixed and matched, I immediately felt at ease. This was what I had been looking for. I felt at home.”

“At Halfpenny you truly get a one-of-a-kind wedding dress (or ensemble for another fabulous occasion) - and for such a special occasion like a wedding day, you wouldn't want anything less. Building each look and option for my wedding is every girl's dream, pairing different skirts with tops, overlays, sleeves and more. Once I found 'the one', during my very first appointment, everything from fittings to tailoring and communication was flawless.”

Between deciding on her gown and the big day, McKenna received some great news with a new career opportunity abroad. She was concerned that it could make things tricky for her fittings but she needn’t have worried!

“Halfpenny shined even further, which I didn't even think was possible, when a spanner was thrown into the works. I had accepted a job that relocated me abroad three months before my wedding - the prime time for fittings, final alterations and more. The Halfpenny team was on hand to chat through the little details the team was working on in the background as I settled into a new world a seven hour flight away. I only arrived back in the UK five days before my wedding and the team was primed to sort any latest minute tweaks that needed to be made. The attention to detail was fabulous. The professional was unmatched.”

“I cannot recommend Halfpenny enough. Kate's passion for design truly shines through each and every look (it was an absolute joy to meet her at one of my fittings as well!). They're classic and timeless yet fashion-forward and downright fun. These looks are everything! The entire Halfpenny team is the dream to work with, overseeing the wedding dress process with precision, ease and perfection from start to finish. You are the best of the best!”

It’s so wonderful to hear how happy McKenna was with her experience with us. I loved meeting her and I’m thrilled she chose to wear Halfpenny London. I especially love how she styled her looks throughout the day, layering our Moon skirt and Issa shrug to create her daytime look, then having fun with the fitted Oliver dress for the evening. She looked incredible!

Huge congratulations to McKenna and Mark! We wish you all the love and luck in the world!

Love,

Kate & the Halfpennys xxx
