        Hi Karen, The Dakota bridal dress was just perfect for our wedding in Paris. I loved it and my husband - Russell, told me that his first though when he saw me walk down the aisle was - 'she looks like a Parisian Princess'. Thank you very much for your patience and support through the fitting process - and of course for the lovely Dakota dress! Warmest Regards, Tam

            Hi Karen, I just wanted to email & thank you all & the team at Karen Willis Holmes for making me the most beautiful wedding dress in the whole wide world! You all made my experience of buying a wedding dress the most special & wonderful experience. Thank you for arranging it to be taken in at the last minute - it fit like a glove. Thank you also for all the beautiful details; the small blue bow, & the little sewing kit. Andrew (my husband!!!) had two different names for the Kelly dress - the proper dress & the sexy dress! Thank you all once again, Susanna

                Dear Karen, You and your staff really listened - an important attribute - to really understand what I wanted, then provided all relevant information in detail. On the day everything was fantastic - and a great deal of that can be attributed to Karen and the amazing Madelyn wedding dress. I have no hesitation in strongly recommending Karen and KWH to any potential bride for her wedding as a lovely, professional person who has incredible ability and attention to detail, and makes such beautiful, timeless dresses. Thank you, Alana

                    Hello Karen, Thank you so much for the gorgeous Ava wedding gown you made for me for our wedding. It was a fantastic day (other than the weather that blew my hair to bits, then rained on us!) and had so much fun and laughs, great food, music and dancing! Thanks again, Love Naomi

                      Hello Karen, I just wanted to thank you for creating my wedding dress so beautifully. I absolutely love the way it turned out. I also wanted to extend my thanks to Fiona. I have to say she is such a credit to your studio. Every visit was such a pleasure, so not only was the dress beautiful, the experience was amazing and the memories will be wonderful too. Kind Regards, Kate Keegan (nee McLernon)

                        Hi Karen, I just wanted to again thank you for my amazing dress. Your Julia gown was one of the first I looked at on the internet before trying on a single dress. On the day I felt beautiful, modern and fashionable. The dress was so different to anything I received so many comments on my original wedding dress, and was even told by one guest that I looked like I had stepped straight off the page of Vogue. Please pass on all my thanks to the girls at the Paddington store and especially Susan at the Newtown studio, she was a godsend at the fittings and helped me to pick the perfect belt and veil. Many thanks and kind regards Katie Glasgow
