Do I need an appointment or do you take walk-in appointments?
We do prioritise booked appointments over walk ins. Whilst we prefer appointments to be booked, walk-in appointments are also welcome, however, there is no guarantee that a stylist will be available to see you. We may have a fully booked day and if this is the case, we will take your details and contact you as soon as we are available, or, to instruct you book in online, or, to try again on another day.
We want all brides to have the opportunity to try on their favourite KAREN WILLIS HOLMES dresses. To book in an appointment at your nearest Karen Willis Holmes boutique we do require your card details at the time of booking. To secure your appointment a $50 fee will be charged 3 day prior your appointment.
If you need to cancel your appointment, you can do so before this time and not be charged. The Appointment fee is fully redeemable to the purchase of a KWH gown. This redeemable offer is only available in store and not through our online boutique.
If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected] or + 61 2 9519 3901
What is the price of a KAREN WILLIS HOLMES wedding dress?
The cost of a KWH wedding dress ranges from $3,990 to $13,000. This is not inclusive of alteration costs.
What is the lead time for your gowns?
Gowns are made to order to a standard size (whatever size you measure closest to at the time of your appointment). We recommend a booking lead time of 6-8 months. However, because many of our gowns can be made in our Australian workroom, we can sometimes work to shorter timeframes.
