  I absolutely loved my experience at Halfpenny. From my first appointment Lola was so helpful and really helped me to feel comfortable and confident. As a street size 16 I was worried about wedding dress shopping and worried about not fitting into anything and I was so happy at the range of sizes available at halfpenny that fit me - in all styles too and not just limited ranges or segregated sections. I love the way Halfpenny platforms women of all sizes in their social media and editorial photos too and all of their collections have a timeless feel but with lots options to add an extra element of playfulness or glamorousness! Lola helped me to try on styles I had seen before and also encouraged me to try ones I hadn’t thought about - having such a good hype-woman encouraged me to go for a dress I would never dream of wearing but that I felt completely at home in. The whole team were really communicative throughout the ordering process and I really enjoyed all my fittings with Summer. She was so personable and took time to get to know me; she took every step to make sure all the details and the execution of my dress were perfect. I also was given scraps of my dress off-cuts which I turned into ribbons for my bouquet which was a lovely touch and nice to know fabric isnt going to waste! I loved being able to alter the patterns to suit me more - I ordered the Mayfair skirt and Ash dress but we made the straps thicker and then pleated them at the bust - the final result was so beautiful and well made. The quality of the fabric on your skin is beautiful and it felt really comfortable to wear all day. I felt classy but also very camp and fun - which is exactly me!

  Niamh at Halfpenny was wonderful! She made what was a very daunting experience for me extremely enjoyable and was incredibly welcoming to me and my family. I cannot recommend this boutique enough!

  Amazing experience shopping for my dress at Halfpenny. The designs and quality are amazing and Niamh really went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and confident. I just wish I could do it again!

  Emailed to cancel the appointment 10 days after booking for a slot that was over 4 months in advanced. No response for over 6 weeks (chasing each week).Eventually I get a response after chasing on Instagram only to be told they are not refunding me. This is the only boutique for this to be the case. Considering I paid £45 for an appointment that they are 100% going to be able to refill this is just really awful customer service. Surely, it would make more sense for me to just keep the appointment and waste their time? I would not recommend this service unless you are 100% certain on getting a Halfpenny dress. I certainly will not be recommending to friends.

  I had the most wonderful experience dress shopping here. Niamh was excellent - she immediately made me (and my family - plenty of prosecco!) feel comfortable and relaxed. She was kind, patient, and knowledgable. This was my first dress shopping experience and I walked out with my dream dress. In addition to this, Niamh had so many good recommendations in regards to shoes and accessories. Half-penny are size-inclusive and have so many beautiful options to mix and match. This experience was better than I could have ever imagined, and it was everything that I wanted it to be! Thank you so much Niamh & the Halfpenny team.

  My experience at Halfpenny was excellent. I was very surprised when booking the appointment...nearly 8 weeks wait! But when I attended, I understood why. Their gowns are beautiful, all the options they have...it was truly a brilliant experience. But, to me, the best was the customer service. Megan made the appointment excellent - she was supportive, understanding, provided lots of options...and if I said I didn't feel comfortable with anything, she would do her absolute best to change that ASAP. I felt special and like a priority, challenged in the right way and really well looked after.

  Nightmare trying to book an appointment. Not only does it take forever to get a response but they seem to think it’s okay or perhaps even a good thing for people to not be able to get an appointment for 3 months. What an embarrassment to the brand. High end bridal boutiques actually treat customers with respect and make every effort to accommodate customers needs. I can imagine if they are this difficult with an initial appointment how awful and slow they could be further down the line.

  Myself and my two bridesmaids had the most wonderful experience with Megan last weekend. I’d already bought a dress but having second thoughts. Megan was so amazing at picking out options and pulling together looks with accessories and absolutely wowing us with the results. Zero pressure just making sure I was happy with the look and how I felt about each dress. Post-appointment correspondence has been fantastic as well. Suffice to say the order has now gone in and I can’t wait for my first fitting!

  I was really looking forward to the experience of trying on dresses at half penny. I am a size 10-12 and sadly felt that I was being stuffed into dresses and pieces that were too tight and unflattering. If you are slim and Mille Mackintosh esque (with her wallet) then fabulous. Otherwise it might not be the experience you hoped for. I don’t feel like the advisor really got an understanding of my style or vision either. The consultation beforehand could have been better and there should be a better way to browse through the designs. Instead you’re basically told what to try on - I wasn’t encouraged to explore my sense of style there.

  Yesterday I visited Halfpenny for my second appointment and chose my dream wedding dress with Lola. I am new to bridal shopping and quite shy but I enjoyed every second of the experience. Lola encouraged me to try lots of different combinations and have fun, I and did not feel pressured at any moment to make a decision. Halfpenny offers a true luxury experience from the Atelier itself to the communication throughout the process. I am so excited for the rest of the journey and have every faith it will be a seamless experience. Thank you Lola and the Halfpenny team! Xxx
