Karen Willis Holmes never fails to delight with her incredible photo shoots and when she sent over her 2012 collection I was delighted with how beautiful each and every shot was. The latest collection sees the introduction of lace illusion style necklines, sleeves, lace edged ballgowns and softly draped ruffles. The picture above (Rachel) is my favourite, with it’s delicacy and elegant lace back.

Karen never strays from classic elegance with her designs and each gown is as beautiful as the next. The detailing, cut and fabric is never over the top, it’s just elegantly beautiful.

This photo shoot also shows a sneak peek into the new Bride by Karen Willis Holmes collection, which will be available at Karen Willis Holmes boutiques, through their website and selected boutiques around the world. The demi couture collection is in stores now, while Bride By Karen Willis Holmes will be available from January 2013.

A very exciting development for the Karen Willis Holmes brand is this new collection –  Bride By Karen Willis Holmes. Floaty, soft and utterly feminine, but with the same classic edge that Karen is known for,  these gowns show off the body but with an understated elegance.
