Wedding Dresses by J Crew
I spent some time last night pouring through the Spring and Fall 2008 bridal runways on Brides.com…and I am officially blown away by that J Crew! I am just so impressed by the sweet sophistication of their wedding dresses…
And we all know, the bridesmaids dresses are just too cute for words… especially, the new plaid one!
I love that a classic, old brand is really trying to redefine themselves with their new bridal line. I know that last year, they literally sold out of stock on some of their gowns. Hopefully, this year, they will be a little more prepared…I have a feeling they are going to sell like hotcakes.
So all of this J Crew stuff got me inspired…who else is designing chic wedding dresses that are one part affordable and one part gorgeous? I am going to be playing detective today, so if you have any really good sources, do share!
The Jenny Yoo Wedding Alternative bridal dresses are really beautiful... and they look fantastic on and in person. I have always thought that the Nicole Miller bridal collection is beautiful. Both of these options are really quite affordable without skrimping on quality.
I love these JCrew dresses! But my only concern would be, how do you try them on? Do you just order several sizes and hope one fits, that would probably be a whole lot of shipping. I wish they had a bridal/special events section in their stores.
JCrew has been fantastic about keeping with the seasons and making things easy for brides and bridesmaids alike! Their shipping is affordable and returns are usually free- I am impressed as well! Good for you JCrew!
I'm in love with that third bride's gown, gorgeous! And the plaid bridesmaid dress, who knew plaid could be so cute for a wedding?
Several times a year J. Crew runs specials with free shipping or 20% off of the dresses which helps with keeping the costs down.
I would have worn that third wedding dress in a SECOND if they'd had it last summer! So pretty!
i know someone who got a melissa sweet bridesmaid dress in white. her budget was below 1,000 and she got it for under 500! do a lot of people do this? i think i will look into it for sure!

My advice is to go to a nice seamstress to get your measurements. Then, have a family member double check to make sure they got the same numbers.
If/When you get the dress it doesn't fit, J Crew has a great return policy.
I have worn two bridesmaids dresses from J Crew and they were really true to size. The size that I wear at J Crew normally, is the size dress that fit perfectly. No alterations.
These are great - also if you are a student, jcrew automatically gives you 10% off. not sure if it applies to wedding dresses, but it would be worth trying.
melanie... My wedding dress is an alfred angelo bridesmaid dress and I spent less than $200 for it. I was looking for something very simple with clean lines. I love, love LOVE it! All their bridesmaid dresses come in white so it's a good alternative for someone looking for something simple on a budget.
Any idea when these dresses will be available?
You can actually order any J.Crew bridal gown and have it shipped to the store for free. Free! Try that sucker on and call it a day. No troubles whatsoever. If is doesn't fit, try again. I am waiting for their new colors to come in before I place an order but really, can they make it any easier? I adore J.Crew.
I got my Nicole Miller on Bluefly.com for under $500 - total score! I also got my Stuart Weitzman sandals to go with the dress on Bluefly. Like some PPs, I also am a huge fan of J. Crew and Jenny Yoo.
I just blogged about JCrew and Ann Taylor the other day. I love, love, love that two big brands and modernizing bridesmaids dresses. They are all great options that girls can actually get later use out of. Love them!
I like the Jcrew bridesmaids dresses, but am getting married in November and hear that the navy dresses wont be back until August (colors are white and navy). Any suggestions for other brands? My girls want something more wearable than bridesmaids dress companies like barijay, jordan, etc.
Also looking for fun, colorful, sweet jr maid and flower girl dress??
JCrew has wedding associates to help with organizing your ideas for bridesmaid dresses. They sent me the color palette for spring/summer '08 and it includes navy. The JCrew rep I emailed said navy will be available in mid-April.
My Mother has just started designing her own label- http://bridalfashionbymillie.com " rel="nofollow">http://bridalfashionbymillie.com
Fashionable yet affordable! They are available online and at her shop- http://victoriarosebridal.com " rel="nofollow">http://victoriarosebridal.com
We use the finest construction so the gown supports the girl's body to flatter her figure.

do you know what the 3rd J Crew wedding dress is called and if it is still available? We can always do a search on ebay if we know the name. Help! Thanks!
I am looking for a very specific JCrew wedding dress from a year or two ago. I was spagetti strap, lightweight linen, crossover bodice, empire waist and had a gold silk sash at the waste that tied in the back. I have pictures of it if anyone needs. Thanks for the help
I would love to get that third J. Crew dress for my wedding and I don't know where I can go to buy it cause I can't find it on the J. Crew official site! If any body could let me know of where I can it I would appreciate it!
I´m looking for the second one. Does anybody know what it is called and if it is still available?
Maria:
i have that linen dress if you're interested email me. it's brand new, never worn.

I am sad that the Emma silk faille dress is no longer available, because it's just what I want for my bridesmaids. I thought I saw somewhere that it was available in a coral-like color --> anyone know what the name of that color was?
Maria, I also have the linen dress you're after. Size 10, never been worn. I'm getting ready to put it on ebay, but it's yours if you want it. julesdusold@hotmail.com
www.flutterboutique.com in Minneapolis carries Jennifer Yoo and others that are comparable to JCrew style. Not sure of their pricing, but I will be finding out this weekend!
