"Holly took the time to get to know me.

Thank you so much to Holly Barker Millinery for my bridal hairpiece. Holly took the time to get to know me and create something magical for me on my wedding day. I absolutely love it, and every one of my guest commented how amazing my headpiece was (yep, even the boys complimented on my 'hair thingy', as they called it). 

One of my friends said my headpiece is very "Sarah Jessica Parker", and very Hollywood!

Not only did Holly listen to what I wanted, she somehow has a natural ability to understand people’s individual style and what they are comfortable wearing. Holly can create masterpieces of perfection to highlight each person's unique personalities. 

I have recommended Holly Barker Millinery to everyone who has asked me about headpieces. Holly, thank you for making me feel so special on my wedding day, it certainly was the finishing touch to my Bridal Couture."

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
