Our wedding dresses look fabulous when styled with our veils and detachable wedding skirt trains. While some brides choose to wear both, or just one or the other, an addition of either can truly complete your look. Adding a veil makes your look feel unmistakably bridal, while the addition of a removable train gives you a bold transition from ceremony to reception and adds femininity and unique style to your wedding look.

Unique, modern and beautiful. Each KAREN WILLIS HOLMES wedding dress perfectly balances and encompasses all 3, even though every collection and style in our range is oh-so different. Karen’s designs are made to showcase who you are as a person and the tone you want to give off as a bride. That’s why every KAREN WILLS HOLMES wedding dress is distinct and breathtaking.

Karen understands what modern-day brides are searching for: a look that no one else has, a dress that feels like it was made just for them, and a contemporary look but one that still has that magical, bridal feeling.

By combining impeccable fit with the highest quality fabrics, KAREN WILLIS HOLMES wedding dresses are not only figure-flattering and gorgeous, but also comfortable and made to an exquisite standard.

Have you fallen in love with one of our handmade wedding dresses? We have boutiques across Australia in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth where you can work with our dedicated bridal stylists and try on your KWH favourites.

Wedding dresses from the ELOPE & BESPOKE collections are made in Australia and are made to order to a standard size- whatever size you measure closest to at the time of your appointment. We recommend a shopping lead time of 6-9 months and a booking lead time 6 months, however, because we make these gowns in our own workroom we can sometimes work with shorter time frames.

Wedding dresses from the LUXE collection are sold from stock or available for pre-order. Due to the nature of this collection the gowns are sold on a first come first serve basis.

Wedding dresses from the WILD HEARTS collection are made in Australia and we recommend a shopping lead time of 6-9 months and a booking lead time 6 months, however, because we make these gowns in our own workroom we can sometimes work with shorter time frames.
