“Hi Karen

The wedding dress was an absolute hit

- I felt so beautiful (and surprisingly comfortable!) I just wish I could wear it again......

Thanks again for making such a beautiful wedding dress that I will treasure forever.

Best wishes

“Hi Karen,
Thank you to YOU and your team so much for making the whole experience of getting a wedding dress made truly memorable and making me look so beautiful in the gorgeous gown! I had so many compliments about the wedding dress it was unbelievable! I felt totally comfortable in it and have no doubts that in 50 years when I look back at the dress, I will still LOVE it - simple, elegant and timeless!

“Hi Karen,
Thank you again for my beautiful wedding dress.
I never envisaged that the design and creation of my wedding dress would be such a pleasure. You created my dream dress - but on top of that, the fittings were so fun and relaxed.
We had the most amazing evening. Everything was stunning and the dress was truly exquisite (from the moment I put it on I felt like a bride...)
I thought I would send you through some of the photos, so you can see just how clever you are!
Thank you so much
Kindest regards,
Antonia”
“Hi Karen,
Just to let you know the wedding dress you and your team made was stunning.
Thank you for making it such a beautiful and elegant gown.
My husband told the wedding I literally took his breath away so what more could I have asked for?
Thank you,
Anna Gibson”
Thank you for all you help in the lead up to my wedding – it was such a pleasurable experience to be welcomed with a smile each time I came in. I loved my wedding dress and it was beautiful to wear.
Best wishes,

“From the first time I walked in your shop doors I found the wedding dress that I wanted and the staff incredibly supportive not to mention complimentary.
Living abroad added an additional challenge and yet you worked with me to accommodate my needs. I was so happy with the dress, the feel and how it simply allowed me to be unrestricted, whether I was walking, sitting, standing or dancing. I was a bride who could simply enjoy the best day of my life.
A heartfelt thanks.

“To the lovely team at Karen Willis Holmes,
Just wanted to thank you all so much for my exquisite wedding gown and for the exceptional service and care that you offered to me in the lead-up to the big day. I knew I had chosen the right wedding dress when our French guests were shocked that it wasn’t Paris haute couture!
Four of our Australian guests all got engaged in Paris shortly after our wedding! Needless to say I have urged them all to come and visit you for all their bridal needs!
I've attached a few snaps here for you.
Many thanks again and best of luck for the future.

A tres bientot!
