Precious Accessories has been nominated for an award

We find out more about local company, Precious Accessories: Image 1

We spoke to the owner of Precious Accessories, Jo Thomas, to find out more about the company and her recently nomination.

She tells us: "I'm based in Newport, South Wales, and offer a national service with clients as far as America. I provide my clients with high-quality designs and a bespoke service. My items aren't mass-produced, which means you'll be getting a product that's as individual as you are.

"I started the business back in March 2004 after designing and making my wedding jewellery in 2003. I always had an eye for jewellery and studied it many years ago. After looking around local bridal shops for my wedding and not seeing what I had in mind, I decided to create my accessories and haven't looked back since.

"I take into consideration the style of the bride's dress, hairstyle, likes and dislikes and use top-quality materials to create the perfect design. If brides have a theme, I can even incorporate it into their accessories. I'm currently working on a Harry Potter-themed wedding for one of my clients which is very exciting. I've created themed shoes, a tiara, a bouquet using foam roses and her attendants' accessories.

"I cover all bridal accessories, but my favourite is shoes! I offer a customisation service and can cater for all budgets. I put a lot of love and hard work into my designs and really take pride in what I do and offer.

"I've been nominated again this year for The Best of Welsh Wedding Awards. I reached the finals last year, and it was really touching to think that some of my past clients voted and nominated me for the award. Sadly, I didn't win but have everything crossed for this year!"

Costs such as new outfits, travel and accommodation, and gifts mean the overall expense of attending can quickly add up. Duncan Fortune, Head of Commercial at Tesco Bank, says: "Wedding season can be a significant expense for households. Planning ahead and setting a dedicated budget for celebrations can help spread the cost over several months, allowing people to make the most of the celebrations while keeping their finances on track."
