J. Crew, Bridal Suite
Let's focus on the bride. The styles of glamorous, romantic, versatile, and affordable gowns are complimentary for most body shapes and can easily be tailored where necessary. These classics with a timeless quality successfully achieve a wedding-gown or wedding-day look and romantic, well pulled-together nuances, due to flattering cuts and fluid, higher-end fabrics . . . they are also understated in a J. Crew signature that one expects.
The Sophia, a silk chiffon dress with a v-neckline and tailored waist, harkens Old Hollywood in a Katherine Hepburn voice . . . this gown can fall slightly below the knee or skim the floor . . . perfect for either barefoot on the beach or chapel weddings. Because of the complimentary ivory hue, both this and The Holly, a fitted pencil bandeau dress in same textiles, are demure and stylish and quite perfect for a wedding. For attendants: The Little Black Dress. I just love this dress . . . or rather these three styles. The Ava is a short silk halter dress in pure silk tricotene. The Whitney is a seductive sheath tank neckline in silk faille. The Emily , silk chiffon, has a bandeau neckline of a delicate crinkled texture. All dresses fall slightly below the knee . . . and are actually available in other colors than black. Tuxedo Gown: The company also provides a limited-edition silk taffeta tuxedo dress for a daring, sexy bride. For the groom, tuxedo, cummerbund, satin bow tie, Windsor tux shirt.

Crew has expanded its wedding collection to wedding shoes, scarves and cashmere wraps, clutch purses, and now includes apparel for flower girls. You and your party are well attired from head to toe, at a marvelously reasonable price, without looking like you rushed out and bought everything off the rack . . . which might actually still look great in a pinch.
