Unpack the art of creating.

A message from Holly. Today, in the twenty first century, we live hurried lives. We barely have time to sit down — and when we do, we can’t help but fill those few seconds with likes and shares and buys and downloads... But, a s a Milliner, I need to slow myself right down and abide by a very careful and precise process. One which, has been followed by Milliners around the world for centuries.

Create a centerpiece for your bridal ensemble that turns heads and captures the true spirit of you and your love story, and look like you just stepped off the cover of Vogue . A recent photoshoot at Faversham House, York, Perth was the perfect setting to showcase our very Vogue haute couture headpieces. Captured in a stunning colonial-style redbrick mansion amongst five acres of picturesque vineyards and gardens, Faversham House is a charming National Trust establishment and popular WA wedding venue.

I had a really, vague conceptual ideal of what I wanted for my wedding. I knew I didn’t want a veil as it isn’t really my style and didn’t go with my dress. I imagined something delicate and crown like, but that was kind of it... That was why it was so amazing coming Holly Barker Millinery. Holly somehow managed to get this very vague and conceptual idea and make it into a reality that was better than anything I could imagine — t he experience was fantastic! At at our first meeting, I showed Holly a picture of my dress and described this unbelievably unspecific idea I had, and she drew the perfect headpiece right there in front of me. I was just in awe. Over the next weeks, getting the emailed updates was so exciting. When my mum and I went to pick it up, it was the first part of my wedding outfit that was finalised, and it was so special. I could really start to see everything come together! I am still in awe of the intricate work and beauty of it. Holly was such a delight to work with, and made the whole experience so special. I just loved the experience and I was beyond happy with what was designed for me. Thanks again for everything, Holly — I really can’t express enough how much I loved my headpiece and what a joy it was working with you!" — Annaliese

Everyone commented on my headpiece and said it just finished the whole outfit off perfectly. It was delicate and subtle, but sparkled and caught the eye — just what I wanted. The service was impeccable, and I have already recommended Holly Barker Millinery to friends who have weddings coming up! I’ll definitely keep recommending your work to everyone. Thank you very much." — Clodagh

Once the engagement is announced, you get to enjoy the magical experience of organising your dream day. If things get stressful (choosing a venue, the dress, a bridal party, food, and the sometimes controversial guest list...) and leave you overwhelmed, delegating is often the answer.

Holly was an absolute star to deal with in the lead up to our wedding. Out of all of the people that I dealt with, I have to say that the service I received from Holly Barker Millinery (and the care and attention to detail with my headpiece and veil) was the most outstanding. Holly were so supportive, really listened to what I was after and made sure I was 100% happy. I felt so special on my wedding day and loved wearing my headpiece and my veil. Thanks again Holly, I will definitely recommend you to all my friends!" — Nicole
