stunning Rosie | A Halfpenny London bride
Gorgeous couple Rosie and Mike said ‘I do’ in a romantic Apulian wedding in Polignano a Mare (“with a twist of South East London for good measure!” Rosie added.) It’s a dreary winter day here in the UK so how wonderful to look through these images of glorious Italian sunshine.
When the time came to begin the search for her perfect wedding dress, Rosie had a plan.
“I always knew that I was going to buy a Halfpenny dress, before I’d even got my initial first fitting appointment. There’s something about the unique style and finesse of the dresses that really stood out to me when compared to other designers. I knew I wanted a balance between contemporary and classic and the Mayfair dress caught my eye right from the beginning.
From the second we arrived we knew it was a special place. The boutique is tastefully decorated and calm, the lighting flattering and the staff are completely non-judgemental, reassuring and helpful. I was presented with a selection of different dresses to try on to try and get a feel for a few different styles, but I’d had my eye on the Mayfair dress for a long time and it was love at first sight. It has a super dreamy, classic romantic “princess” look to it in the form of the tulle skirt, but the duchess satin underskirt, bodice and sleeves have a much more contemporary feel and cast an incredibly flattering silhouette through the tulle, which I loved. I felt confident and sexy in the dress but at the same time I felt extremely comfortable given it was tailored to my exact body shape for my wedding.
I’m not the most confident person in the world and at times I find it difficult to shop for clothes for myself. However, from the minute I stepped out of the fitting room at Halfpenny to the minute I said “I do”, there wasn’t a single lapse in my own feelings of self confidence in this dress. It just looked and felt so right, and it was so perfect for our Italian dream wedding.”
I’m completely in love with Rosie’s elegant choice of hairstyle and crystal drop earrings which were a gift from her mum. She looked incredible!
Congratulations Rosie and Mike! Loads of love for your new adventures together!
Love,
Kate & the Halfpennys xxx
