Halfpenny London Songbird collection preview at Petersham Nurseries
We spent a magical morning at Petersham Nurseries in Covent Garden showcasing our brand new Songbird collection during an intimate breakfast event. I adore The Petersham restaurant in Covent Garden so jumped at the chance to collaborate with the team there to create a dreamy event for our guests.
New Songbird Collection launched at NYBFW
I’m so pleased to now be able to share my new Songbird collection with you. My initial inspiration for this collection came from an abandoned bird’s nest I found in the garden.
Stunning Charlotte | A real Halfpenny London bride
Our gorgeous bride Charlotte tied the knot in a fabulous West-meets-East-London “mashup”. The couple started with a formal Catholic ceremony in Knightsbridge followed by a warehouse party in the Docklands and some classic Routemasters in between!
Beautiful Emma | A real Halfpenny London bride
One of the things I adore about my job is that every single bride who walks through my door is different. I love that we’re able to fulfil the dreams of so many women with all their unique wants and needs. Our beautiful bride Emma came to us after seeing us featured in Vogue many years ago. She’d kindly recommended us to some of her friends since then - thank you Emma! - so when it came to searching for her own dress it felt like a no-brainer to come to see us herself.
Gorgeous Amy | A real Halfpenny London bride
Our beautiful bride Amy married her lovely hubby in May this year in a very modern wedding in a historic venue! Amy had a challenge to find a dress to suit a ceremony in an 11th Century Norman Keep, followed by a reception in a Georgian House and then a marquee for the party. She came to us looking for a dress to suit all settings as her wedding day went through the ages!
Stunning Samantha | A real Halfpenny London bride
Gorgeous bride Samantha and her hubby Ian tied the knot just over a year ago at the Castello Dei Vicari in Tuscany, Italy, followed by a reception at Parco Dei Platani in San Ruffino. I was blown away by these beautiful pictures when they landed in my inbox and I’m thrilled we were able to play a small part in this special couple’s big day.
Beautiful Victoria | A real Halfpenny London bride
Beautiful bride Victoria married her new husband James in June this year at MC Motors in Dalston. MC Motors is very urban and non-traditional so it was important for the couple to contrast this with splashes of whimsical colour and prettiness. They wanted the wedding to feel like a wonderful, summery party in the middle of the city.
Lovely Sarah | A real Halfpenny London bride
Beautiful bride Sarah’s wedding was a relaxed celebration of London, the city she and her hubby met in. I adore these images of the couple looking so completely happy and in love! I talk a lot about “being the bride you want to be”. It really is something I live by and I’m proud that myself and my team specialise in this!
Gorgeous Lizzie | A real Halfpenny London bride
Beautiful bride Lizzie and her lovely new husband, Stephen, tied the knot in March this year. The couple’s destination wedding was at the forefront of Lizzie’s mind when choosing a dress. She had seen a lace Halfpenny gown she had her eye on but that all changed when she came in to meet me..
Beautiful Esther | A real Halfpenny London bride
Beautiful bride Esther married her handsome hubby Asher in April this year. Esther is Australian-German and Asher is Chinese-Malaysian. The couple tied the knot in their church’s old fashioned hall. The florals are totally stunning and I’m not surprised given the couple’s inspiration…
Stunning Marie-Eve | A real Halfpenny London bride
Beautiful bride Marie-Eve married her new husband, Richard, in a fabulous Scottish/Swiss fusion wedding in London. Keen to celebrate the couple’s heritage they decided to have a bit of both of their countries in their theme and chose the Caledonian Club in London as their venue and I especially loved to hear that Marie-Eve’s dad played traditional Swiss accordion!
Vogue Williams looks gorgeous in Halfpenny London at the races
Vogue Williams looked radiant at the races last week wearing pieces from our Black Edit. She teamed our Loretta corset and Organza Bow coat with her own cigarette pants, Manolo Blahnik shoes and a statement headpiece from Emily London.
Lovely Elise | A real Halfpenny London bride
Gorgeous bride Elise married her new hubby in May this year in a 12th century castle in the Tuscan countryside. There amongst the olive groves, in a beautiful fairy-lit courtyard their rustic, romantic wedding dreams came true.
Stunning Riki | A real Halfpenny London bride
Beautiful bride Riki married her new hubby Michael in may this year. The couple hosted a vibrant, fun wedding in the Algarve and it’s giving me epic wanderlust. Their big day was full of sunshine and colour and I love the balloon installation which they created as a statement piece of decoration.
Beautiful Juliet | A real Halfpenny London bride
Our gorgeous bride Juliet and her hubby Nick said their “I do’s” in May this year. The couple wanted a fun, London wedding where their guests had a wonderful time and judging by the pictures that’s exactly what they did. Their big day was filled with love and laughter and I’m over the moon Juliet chose to wear Halfpenny London to walk down the aisle.
Beautiful Cindy | A real Halfpenny London bride
I couldn’t wait to re-share these gorgeous pictures when photographer Luigi Reccia tagged us on facebook. This wedding has it all… a stunning couple, beautiful setting and fabulous fashion! Beautiful bride Cindy married Antimo at Villa Baia Dei Caesars in a relaxed, fun ceremony followed by a huge party. The couple were joined by their family from all over the word and Luigi captured every moment in a stunning reportage style.

Stunning Chloe | A real Halfpenny London bride
Beautiful bride Chloe married her new hubby, Ben, at Stoke Newington Town Hall followed by a reception at The Star Pub in Highgate. The wedding was full of personal touches and the couple really put their own stamp on the day.
Beautiful Briony | A real Halfpenny London bride
Beautiful bride Briony married her new hubby Mark in December last year. The couple wanted to celebrate both their backgrounds so chose to be married in an English style cottage garden at Lion Gate Lodge in the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney followed by a reception at the Quay Restaurant on Sydney Harbour.
Health doesn't have a dress size
I read the article by Tanya Gold in The Telegraph with dismay. I certainly wouldn’t live up to Ms Gold’s body standards and do you know what? I’m ok with that. I’m a size 22. I am healthy. I exercise. I am not pre-diabetic. I also wear sportswear.
