Designer Karen Willis Holmes did a fashion shoot recently with her decadent silver dress designs and I had to ask her if we could share it today on Polka Dot Bride. I’ve been doing a lot of pouring over coloured gowns recently for an upcoming feature and I have fallen in love with silver- it’s subtle enough for the bride who wants something a little different, a little bit of a stand out, without veering too far away from the traditional neutral white or ivory.

Karen has again produced amazing designs- they have stunning traditionalism lines to them but with her tweaks that make them look completely modern and new. Karen was inspired by the stunning silver hues of the fabrics she used, creating dramatic silhouettes and adding a variety of details to make each gown a stand out, each gown unique.
