One of my favourite bridal designers, Kate Halfpenny has launched her new English Dreamer Collection onto the world.

Kate Halfpenny began her illustrious career as a talented costume designer and sought-after celebrity stylist before she went on to establish her own brand, Halfpenny London, in the year 2005.

Since that pivotal moment, Halfpenny London has rapidly evolved into one of the UK’s leading luxury bridalwear brands, with each stunning piece meticulously crafted in England.

Within The English Dreamer collection, ethereal textiles capture the enigma and creativity of our dreams, while exquisitely precise tailoring represents those dreams being realised, birthed from the unconscious mind and crafted into something tangible.

Kate’s exquisite and uniquely distinctive creations transcend the conventional boundaries of bridal fashion and have garnered significant admiration from the fashion elite, particularly noted for their impeccable red carpet style.

While the in-store samples range from a UK size 6 to 22, Kate’s stunning bridalwear is readily available to purchase in any dress size, as every single piece is made to order to ensure a perfect fit.

Notably, the fabrics used are responsibly sourced, and Kate takes pride in recycling off-cuts into innovative design details that are artfully incorporated into her gowns to mitigate waste.

In instances where recycling is not feasible, Kate generously donates all end-of-line fabrics and samples to schools and universities to support budding designers.

In recognition of her impactful work, Kate was honored by being included in the 2019 Walpole Power List, which showcases the 50 Most Influential People in British Luxury.

Moreover, the brand has recently achieved significant acclaim by winning the prestigious Artisanal Brand Award at Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week 2024.
