The KAREN WILLIS HOLMES Alexandria bridal boutique is open 5 days a week and is within walking distance to various well-known cafes including The Grounds of Alexandra, where you can grab a coffee or lunch so your Sydney wedding dress shopping experience is one to last a lifetime.
Our appointments run for 1 hour and 15 minutes. The length of the appointments in our bridal shop ensures you’ll be able to retry on your top choices or spend time taking photos with your friends and family and truly soak in the moment when you find your wedding dress.
For you to make the most of your appointment, we recommend you bring no more than 3 guests, however, we do have a maximum guest limit of 5.
An appointment at the KAREN WILLIS HOLMES Sydney wedding dress shop is an unforgettable experience. During the time you work with our dedicated stylists, you will experience the beauty of our wedding dresses first hand. The expertise of our staff means that you and your nearest and dearest can relax as you explore our gowns while we make recommendations to help you find your perfect wedding dress. One of the best things about our job as stylists is that every single bride that walks through the door of our wedding dress shop is different with a different wedding vision, so it’s just as exciting for us to see our gowns in a whole new light with every appointment as it is for you. We’re here to help you not only find your dress but a complete look finished with accessories, as well as answer any question you might have about sizing, styling, and the process of making your gown.
Our Sydney shop features KWH designs from the ELOPE, LUXE, WILD HEARTS & BESPOKE collections. Each collection holds a variety of wedding dresses to suit each bride’s individual style and budget.
Whilst we prefer appointments to be booked, walk-in appointments are also welcome and do not incur an appointment fee; however, there is no guarantee that a stylist will be available to see you right away. If this is the case, we will take your details and contact you as soon as we are available.
We want all brides to have the opportunity to try on their favourite KAREN WILLIS HOLMES dresses which have caught their eye in our Sydney bridal shop. Wedding dress shopping means coordinating your schedule with your nearest and dearest. Our weekend appointments usually book out weeks in advance, but we also have a lot of last-minute cancellations which means brides who could book a canceled time slot are unable to co-ordinate their entourages schedule in time.
If a retry appointment is unavailable on the date you wish to visit, please call the boutique directly as we have additional space available for these appointments which are not available to book online.
Initial appointments in our Sydney wedding dress shop incur a $50 appointment fee, which is fully redeemable towards the purchase of your dress. Return / re-try appointments will be complimentary.
Your card details will be approved at the time of booking your appointment.
Your credit card will only be charged the appointment fee 3 days prior to your scheduled appointment. If you cancel your appointment up to 4 days prior to your appointment time, you will not be charged the appointment fee. After this period, the appointment fee is non-refundable.
