As modern brides, we’re all concerned about finding the most unique wedding dresses and bridal party looks. We want to be at the height of fashion, but also look great in wedding photos. We want to feel special and original, but we’re also watching wedding trends. I’ve been looking to the Hollywood red carpet for some style inspiration. The Oscars were the height of glam, and I’m noticing that Bari Jay bridesmaid dresses reflect the beauty I saw on the red carpet that night.

Follow the trends of your style icons.

Not sure where to start? Find your fashion icon and follow their lead. Is their look more fun and flirty like Katy Perry, or more muted and traditional like Meryl Streep? Study their Hollywood red carpet style and start shopping unique wedding dresses. Use that same inspiration to select Bari Jay bridesmaid dresses for your friends. Remember Sandra Bullock’s amazing sweetheart neckline and fit and flare cut? Wouldn’t that look fantastic in your wedding party? Or maybe a one-shoulder, Grecian style as seen on the fabulous Penelope Cruz?

Give your ‘maids style without losing your own.

Unique wedding dresses are meant to make you stand out and feel original. This doesn’t mean you have to wear a safety orange dress, but don’t let your wedding party upstage you! Bari Jay bridesmaid dresses are fashionable, flattering, but not over the top. Did you love Lupita Nyong’o’s gorgeous Grecian-inspired dress? What about style 728 for your ladies? They will love the flirty skirt and figure-flattering silhouette, but you’ll still be the center of attention.

Use celebrity fashion to add a little fun to your wedding.

Don’t you love Jennifer Lawrence? She’s down to earth and fun, and her style always matches her attitude. Her Hollywood red carpet dress was a stunning shade of red and featured a very trendy peplum. You don’t have to wear a Jennifer-inspired look as your wedding gown, but what if your ladies embraced it? The color she wore would look great for a fall wedding too! Check out the Wedding Shoppe’s collection of Bari Jay bridesmaid dresses for more celebrity-inspired looks. Maybe you’ll come up with some dress ideas that you never dreamed of using before!
