We all knew that J. Crew has had their hand in the wedding industry for a couple of years now. They usually have a couple wedding gowns and then several options for bridesmaids dresses. Well, they have decided to open their own bridal boutique in NYC on Madison Ave at 66th Street. There’s no exact date but they say “early summer.” If you think you’ll go, make sure you sign up for their sweepstakes for a chance to win a trip to NYC and $2500 towards your wedding dress!
