At KAREN WILLIS HOLMES, we have experienced the highs and lows of 2020

From celebrating our 20th anniversary and launching our ELOPE collection, to navigating the pandemic affecting our company and our brides harder than we ever could have imagined. We have accompanied our brides every step of the way through the struggles and stress that they experienced throughout 2020 as they planned, replanned and canceled weddings, and we have deeply felt the heartache they all endured having to make such immense sacrifices in order to marry their chosen ones.

 

With hope on the horizon, we look towards the future and think of ways we can thank our amazing, strong and resilient KWH brides for their support and perseverance throughout these unprecedented times. We want to bring some of the excitement and romance back into your engagement, so the #HappilyEverAfterByKarenWillisHolmes giveaway will open to women across Australia and the USA who have struggled further than they should have during their wedding planning process, whereupon application, we will choose one bride to receive a wedding dress, to the value of AUD $4,000 (including fittings if located in Sydney or Melbourne).

Entries open on the 1st March 2021 and close on the 22nd March 2021.

From Karen

“The idea came to me while I was trying out a new meditation app called Chopra.” Karen says of coming up with the giveaway, “I started thinking of what a year 2020 had been and all the stressful journeys people have been on. Then I remembered some brides from over the years who I, upon hearing their stories, was amazed at what they had been through just to get to the alter. These women have been very impressionable to me and I have never forgotten their stories. This has always compelled me to want to help those in need more.

 

“However, after this particularly challenging era of our history as a community, it seemed obvious to me that I wanted to try and bring a little bit of light into someone’s life, and donate a gown to a bride when it would make a big difference to her. So, this is the start of hopefully a long journey of being able to help many brides in need.”
