"Every dress I tried on was out of this world. Honestly I never thought I’d find my dress at the first shop I visited but it’s near to impossible to leave without finding the one because everything is so beautiful".

"Could not recommend Halo & Wren more even if I tried! We had our very own stylist Yasmin who was super nice and very accommodating The dresses... it was more a case of ‘how do I pick’ opposed to ‘will I even pick’. They are all unbelievable whilst still being well priced."

"Halo & Wren is the most gorgeous, modern bridal shop that I visited. Lots of beautiful dresses & designers tailored toward a modern bride. Jemma has been amazing throughout & even fit me in for a super last minute appointment to show my mum & sister the dress before I said yes! Amazing experience & cant wait to come back for my fitting soon."

THE HALO AND WREN EXPERIENCE
Halo & Wren is an award winning Bridal Boutique started after my own Bridal Gown buying experience. H&W provides bridal gowns for the relaxed, modern Bride, as a Bride myself I struggled to find the relaxed non traditional, international designers and felt that Bridal Boutiques didn’t represent me as a modern bride.
