Known for their romantic yet modern creations, Halfpenny London’s latest collection Speak is an ode to self expression and individuality.

Halfpenny London’s latest Speak collection is the dream of every romantic bride who isn’t afraid to flaunt her individuality. Inspired by designer Kate Halfpenny’s journey of self-discovery and expression, Speak is a collection that allows every bride to speak and tell her story in her own way, paying homage to their individuality.

The collection stays true to the label’s signature style and consists of a line-up of beautifully vintage and modern bridal separates and accessories that can be interchanged and worn in different ways to create a diverse range of silhouettes that’ll allow brides to create their very own wedding dress, be it modern and classic or ethereal and romantic, or perhaps, a mix of both.

Every piece in Speak is a dialogue between the designer’s vision and the bride’s personal narrative. Every stitch, every drape, every silhouette tells a story, right down to the choice of fabric and embellishment used. The conversation continues with the bride’s choice of apparel from the collection and how she chooses to mix and match with other pieces to create an outfit that is a representation of her person, her elegance and grace and her story.

Classic romantic brides would love the aesthetics of the Ada Dress over the India Slip Dress, a perfectly soft and dreamy look that is timeless. Pair this ensemble with the Broad Lace Veil and you’ll look like you walked out of a dream. For a more contemporary edge, the Alice Dress with its mesmerising floral lacework and slight padded shoulders gives the India Slip Dress a more modern twist. Pair this look with the Emma Veil for a touch of modern femininity.

The India Slip Dress can be worn on its own too, for an effortless and chic look. Contemporary brides seeking this aesthetic will also love the Greta Dress, Hula Dress Sleeveless and especially, the Tra Tra Dress with its crisp and curved neckline, modern draping and thigh-high slit. Channel the Greek goddess in you by pairing the Kimmy Cape with the Greta Dress or add a touch of whimsy with the baby blue Kahlo Veil as your “something blue”.

For the hopelessly romantic brides, the Ada Bodysuit with the Amy Top and Amy Skirt is a dream come true. The delicate floral lace peeks out under the structured and voluminous Amy Top and Amy Skirt, creating an interesting contrast of sleek modernity and elegant femininity. The billowy Amy Taffeta Sleeves adds just the right amount of dreaminess to the ensemble, making the ensemble perfect for fairytale weddings or elopements.

But if modern vintage or vintage romantic is more your cup of tea, Speak has you covered as well. With its low square neckline, princess A-line skirt and dreamy balloon sleeves, the fully laced Dominique Dress is feminine, romantic, modern and vintage all at the same time. The Victoria Dress with the same low square neckline, A-line silhouette and billowy sleeves, is an alternative for vintage brides who want something with a more contemporary charm.

More than just a collection of bridal separates and accessories, Speak is a platform that invites and allows brides to engage in a two-way dialogue with the designer by giving them free rein to personalise their wedding look, and encourages brides to embrace and express their identity and individuality on their wedding day.
