“Thank you for my beautiful wedding dress.
Everyone commented on the day what a beautiful dress you had made and how well it fit me. I felt amazing in the dress and really felt special all day, and most importantly, Matt loved the dress also.
Karen, you really made the whole experience of having my wedding dress made a wonderful time, which I enjoyed thoroughly.

“Karen and the team – Thanks so much for making me such a beautiful wedding dress – it was absolutely gorgeous!
I loved the process of getting the dress made and fitted with you – and I really appreciate that you made it so quickly, the fact that it all got done in 2.5 weeks is astounding! It was also special to have a couple of WA girls making it!
We’re heading back to Perth next week to have a post wedding party with friends and family in WA (any excuse to wear my wedding dress again basically!)
Thanks again,
Kate West”

“I just wanted to thank you all for your contributions to my wedding gown – it was fabulous on the day and beautiful to wear – I felt confident and comfortable.
The process of collecting and being a part of putting together the lace-work was fun and makes it especially special to me. I had many comments from guests and others I have shown photos to about the wedding dress.
Even the string quartet went out of their way to let me know that of all the weddings they had been to mine was their favourite wedding dress.

“Dear Karen,
I just wanted you to see the end result of your skill and dedication.
I bought the wedding dress from your Armadale bridal shop for my daughter Sadie and cannot praise your Melbourne staff highly enough – they were so kind and welcoming and very accommodating.
My daughter chose this dress in January and yours was the first wedding dress shop that we visited.
Throughout, your staff were practical, kind, welcoming, professional, caring and warm. We also selected sleeves, a shawl and your team showed us everything – how to tie the dress, the bustle and the shawl. They could not have been more attentive. Not just with us but with each client we witnessed them serving. Not only do your lovely designs set you apart but also the lack of “snootiness” shown by almost every other bridal shop we visited in High Street Armadale. Congratulations.
As a consequence we tell everyone to go to you first, just as we did.
On the day the dress performed at every level. Sadie felt and looked more beautiful than I have ever seen her. Consequently, she relaxed and had a quiet confidence throughout. It was comfortable yet elegant, easy to wear yet very stylish. How it was cut, how it was draped, the detail of the lacing at the back, the strength of the underbody – everything worked. So please also congratulate your cutting and sewing team. If ever you need a recommendation we would be delighted to give it.
It was a truly wonderful day and your wedding dress was at the centre of it all.
Kind regards,
Barbara Devlin”
“Thanks again for a stunning wedding gown and for being such a wonderful support throughout everything! As always, I cannot recommend anyone higher than you.
Thanks Karen.
The gown made it for sure!!! You wouldn’t believe how many GENUINE comments I got about how amazing it was.

“People were just amazed with the wedding dress and how it fitted me, they are all still talking about it.
I think I am the only girl in Adelaide to have worn a wedding dress that wasn’t strapless and was slinky, even the priest commented and asked where it came from!! I have passed on your name to many brides to be in Adelaide!!

It was great fun working with you. Thanks again!

“I need to send out a very big thank you to all at Karen Willis Holmes and to Lina who worked on my wedding dress with me. You all did a wonderful job and I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful job you did in making it the perfect wedding dress! I received nothing but genuine gushing compliments on the dress all day. It’s such a beautiful gown and I’m so glad that I chose Karen Willis Holmes.
Thank you again!
Tracey McCawley”
