Heading into engagement season, it is all that is on your mind; the proposal, the ring, the planning, the dress and your friends want to be by your side for all of it. There are so many fun things to do with them during the planning to create lasting memories of the time spent together! Here are some of our favorites!

What Makes Bari Jay Dresses Special
Being a female owned and operated bridesmaids business, we actually wear our dresses! When we do, we discover things that we never would have known had we not spent a fun night dancing, sitting, drinking, eating and even being pregnant at a wedding or party in one of our own Bari Jay dresses!
Traditional vs. Trendy Bridesmaid Style Guide
When dressing your wedding party, you must decide if you want to be traditional or if you are trendy. Personally, we love the look of a traditional bridal party. Everyone in the same dress in the same color. Traditional Bridesmaids companies like Bari Jay can make this possible as we offer maternity styles, jr bridesmaids styles, extra length or petite length and customizations that make your wedding unique to you and allow for your entire bridal party to be dressed and comfortable size 1-26W, shorter or taller, pregnant etc. We have been doing this for over 50 years!
Color Me Trendy: Bridesmaids Dress Color Swatch Guide
Starting around Thanksgiving the proposal season begins, and we start to think about what trends we are seeing in weddings coming down the pipeline. We get tons of requests from brides to be and they are usually very specific. Color wise, even though pantone’s color of the year is a vibrant purple, we have had lots of requests for Lavender. And most recently, many requests for sage, sweet mint and hunter green! Bari Jay is adding a slate blue that will be available by January 2019. Let’s talk color!!
