Did you know that J Crew is now selling wedding dresses? I had no idea until I was in New York last week for BlogHer. Yes, J Crew has now opened a wedding boutique on Madison Ave and online. My good friend Jorli has already shopped the boutique and gave it a rave. She chose the above silk chiffon Thea dress for $700.00 US. Although $700.00 is not cheap, wedding dresses typically retail for much, much more. Witness Chelsea Clinton’s recent Vera Wang wedding dress which cost an estimated $20,000! In contrast, the J Crew bridal boutique offers tasteful dresses in classic patterns, priced between $229 and $3,500. The boutique and online store both offers makeup, perfumes, headpieces, sweaters, jackets and pants for before and after wedding events. I took a tour of the online boutique and it does indeed appear to be one-stop wedding shopping with outfits for the groom, groomsmen, bridesmaids, ring bearers and flower girls. If you’re a bride on a budget, or not, you might want to give it a look. One thing I do like about the overall J Crew line is the tastefulness of the designs and the draping of the fabrics. Mrs. Obama seems to agree. Remember how she complimented her Isabel Toledo dress with J Crew gloves for the swearing in ceremony?

I actually did know J Crew makes wedding apparel. I just wish they'd been doing it when I got married several ago! At the time, it was hard for me to find a dress that was simple, stylish and “un-fussy”, like the J Crew designs.
Shhhhh! Don't tell Steve what my dress looks like.
Seriously, I can't say enough about what a wonderful experience I had at the J. Crew bridal boutique. Easy and fun and painless. And I can't wait to wear this dress!
