Bride to Be Magazine - August/October 2010 Issue

At Karen Willis Holmes we love getting our hands on the latest bridal magazines, overflowing with inspiration and also a great place for brides to get ample information and advice that is beneficial in their planning process.

Bride to Be has released their August-October 2010 issue, the last with the lovely Amelia Bloomfield as editor.  (Congrats on your engagement Amelia!! We agree that being editor of a Bridal Magazine would have definitely increased the pressure for your partner!) 

The issue is blooming with fashion, accessories, inspiration and beauty to satisfy your craving for all things bridal.

One of our favourite pieces in this issue is the real weddings feature, which Bride to Be claim is their biggest! In “Biggest Real-Life Weddings Issue Ever” we love seeing the variety of all the real weddings and the unique features and twists people come up with to make their day memorable.

One of our real brides was featured in “Boating Party” on page 118.  Diana chose our ‘Roberta’ gown, a fitted corset bodice with a three-tiered ruffle at the bottom of the skirt, saying that she “wanted something that was timeless but still contemporary”.

We are always flattered to have our Karen Willis Holmes gowns featured in the magazine. Our stunning couture gown - ’Sophia’ and our ready to wear gown ‘Poppy’ are featured in the “Bride to Be Work Book”, focusing on ruffle and tulle trends for bridal gowns. The ‘Sophia’ gown provides real wow-factor for your special day, while our ready-to-wear option, ‘Poppy’, is a modern interpretation of a bridal gown with its column silhouette and ruffle detail, finished with a silver sash.

In the fashion editorial “Country Charm”, shot on location in beautiful Launceston, our ‘Angelica’ couture gown with 3D floral detailing on the bodice looks stunning, surrounded by delicate paper flowers creating a sweet country twist.

We are also intrigued by the “Love Notes” article featuring an array of perfumes perfect for your special day. A Bride to Be survey shows that 78 percent of brides buy a new fragrance especially to wear on their big day to help them remember it! Follow Bride to Be’s advice and choose a luscious new scent, or opt for a personalised custom scent for something truly special.

With the last remnants of Winter being chased away by the gorgeous sunshine, now is the perfect time to pick up Bride to Be’s latest issue, and start getting excited for Spring!
