We had a fabulous night at the Wedding Industry Awards last night, unfortunately we didnt win but we were delighted by all the wonderful comments we had from our brides:
“The quality and selection of headpieces by Jo Barnes is incredible and unlike that of any other supplier I have seen. If I didn’t find Jo and her headpieces I know I would not have had the headpiece I envisioned for my wedding. The quality was superb as was Jo’s service.”
“As soon as I set my eyes on the beautiful Gracie headband I knew it was the one, having searched high and low elsewhere. Jo’s communication was wonderful , she was efficient and friendly and when my headpiece arrived I was thrilled. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jo to anyone getting married - her range really is the best I’ve seen - and believe me, I looked at a LOT! Just wonderful!”
“I was totally thrilled with the service Jo provided from first looking at her website to receiving and wearing my beautiful headdress and cuff. Nothing was too much trouble and Jo was always willing and available to answer any questions I had and share her knowledge and expertise. The pieces I wore we’re truly perfect. They were brilliantly made with high quality materials and complemented my dress perfectly. I had so many complements and didn’t want to take them off!! She is truly talented!”
“Beautiful product which really put the ’icing’ on my wedding outfit - very well made.”
“I was incredibly happy with the head piece I bought from Jo Barnes. It was absolutely beautiful and I got so many compliments on it on the day. The lady who did my hair even took the details of the website so she can recommend it to future brides. Jo was so lovely to deal with and I really felt that she puts her heart into the pieces she makes.”
“Jo was friendly quick and made exactly what I wanted”
“I had purchased a headress from jenny Packham but felt unhappy.Emailed Jo about one of the headdresses and she was brilliant replying almost straight away. Emailed options and kept me updated on expected arrival time as it was it was early.Truely stunning.”
“The jewelled headdress (Grace) that I bought from Jo Barnes to wear on my wedding day was absolutely stunning. It truly made my outfit complete and I had more comments about it than anything else on the day (even my dress!). My wedding was on the 28th December so we filled the venue with candles to create a special feel as the natural light ended so early which meant that my headdress sparkled and was displayed at its best. Jo was a pleasure to deal with and I will always treasure my headdress.”
“Jo’s head bands were by far the best I have seen, mine was beautiful on the days and perfect for my taste. Jo is more expensive than most but definitely wort it. The overall experience was great and I really appreciated her personal touches in wrapping and
presenting her product.”
“After searching for a few months in the shops I turned to google to look for a vintage styled hair piece but in gold. I was looking for something simple, elegant, nothing too big. I came across Jo Barnes. That was it. I wanted all her pieces. Statement pieces but understated. My piece she was , as we know they all have names, simply exquisite that was absolutely perfect for my dress and came in a fabulous presentation box.”
“I spent a long time looking for someone to make my headdress who offered a genuine ’bespoke’ service. Others I had contacted in reality had a couple of set designs! Jo allowed me to merge parts of her different designs together to create my headers, and even created me a matching brooch at my request (which she hadn’t done before) to attach to my dress. The little touches (like the secret blue crystal attached to the inside of my headdress) demonstrate Jo’s attention to detail.”
“From first enquiry, through to delivery, Jo gave a personal ,helpful and friendly service.I was late in finding a supplier, but this was no trouble and my headdress arrived, beautifully packed in time for several practice fittings. My headdress was an instant heirloom and a reminder of our day”
“One in a million, other headpiece designers didn’t even come close. Fantastic wide and varied collection, including vintage pieces. Excellent customer service, created the headpiece of my dreams and a cuff to match. Classic, classy and great value for money.”
“I am so glad I found Jo. She went above and beyond to ensure I got the head piece that suited me perfectly, and I was so delighted with the finished result. The head piece is outstanding in both design and quality, and I am only a little sad that I might not find an
occasion to wear it again! I would have no hesitation in recommending Jo to other brides.”
“We held a 1920s theme for our wedding with all guests in dress and i was looking for a headpeice, her site was so clear, great testimonials BUT i only had 2 weeks, Jo not only designed a special piece and kindly made a cuff to match, she took the work on holiday with her to complete in time, which i appreciated so much and it arrived, beautifully packed, and
was perfect. she is a true professional and so gifted, the piece meant i could have a simple dress and let Jo’s jewelry lift to the 1920s”
“I was so delighted when I found Jo Barnes website. The website was every brides dream and I found the perfect comb, The Audrey. I am based in Dublin and my wedding was in Scotland so getting the comb to me was tricky, but not a problem for Jo. The Audrey arrived beautifully packaged and exactly the same as the photograph on Jo’s website. To say I loved
it was an understatement! Thank you Jo, you were a delight to deal with and you even checked to make sure the comb had arrived safely.Many Thanks”
“After months of searching and having to return many pieces to other so called vintage hair specialists I went to Jo. With only a 10 days before the wedding she designed a new hairslide using vintage broaches to make me a stunning hair slide. She’s professional but also made feel like a friend.”
“The headband was gorgeous and it was definitely the look that I was going for on my wedding day. I thought it was great how she asked for a picture of the dress so that she would know what would look good with the dress before she made the headband. I would
definitely recommend her to others.”
“Beautiful quality item”
“Jo’s designs are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. True heirloom pieces that could have been worn 100 years ago, today or a hundred years from now because of their timeless beauty. Meticulously hand made with love. Brides do not need to look further than JBV ... it should be their first and last stop. She has accessories in her stunning collection to make
every bride’s dream come true!”
“I brought a head piece from jo.. Golden gracie and then I asked her to make a brooch for my dress based on this. She did it no problem and they matched amazingly. She also made a hair clip for my mum to math detailing on her dress... He sent me mum sample pearls so mum could match the colour”

“I looked far and wide for the perfect hair piece. I loved the Audrey comb. It was exactly what I was looking for.”
“Design”
“Because she is one of a kind. I did an incredible amount of searching, a designer myself I am very fussy and the attention to detail and getting the real vintage look is really key. Jo has simply "got it". She understands the subtle balance and creates something unique. I had total confidence she would deliver. Her constant e mails with photos of ideas. With such a tight deadline she could have just given me something off the shelf but she didn’t she gave the extra mile. I would whole heartily recommend her to any bride. She’s calm, creative and very professional, you can completely rely on her. Quite simply brilliant.”
“They looked elegant,timeless and pure sophistication.Plus mine was so sparkly I felt like a princess.”
“Jo Barnes was extremely helpful and knowledgeable which made the experience of buying even more enjoyable. Her pieces are of excellent design and quality you can not fault them in any way. I had not seen anything like these accessories anywhere. They are simple gorgeous pieces of art.”
“I really wanted a head piece that fitted with my wedding dress which had a old Hollywood look to it and no other website or shop had anything nearly as beautiful as what I found on the Jo Barnes website.”
