Planner on Patrol: New at the Crew

Though J. Crew’s been a retail favorite for over 25 years, it’s taken them until now to open their first boutique catering solely to the bridal crowd. A gorgeous shopping showcase located on New York’s Madison Ave., the ground floor is dedicated to the bride and bridesmaids and the upstairs to elegant special occasion gowns and accessories.

Absolutely a must if you’re in the NYC area but call ahead, bridal appointments are usually booked up for a month in advance. Wedding dresses start at $295 and the store features a number of exclusive designs before they’re offered online or in the J. Crew catalog!
