Wedding Wednesday | J. Crew Wedding Collection

As promised, today starts another weekly feature - Wedding Wednesday! Each Wednesday baci will feature something wedding related {real weddings, DIY projects, etc.} that we just LOVE!! Since baci is 90% all wedding, what a better feature to create, right?

So to start things off I want to tell the world all about the J. Crew Wedding Collection. I'm sure that many of you know about the fabulousness, but I bet you don't know about all the great things they offer!

First and foremost there are the clothes - bridal gowns for casual beach weddings or your more traditional affairs, a tuxedo so hot you'll want to rip it off your man, suits for your groom to make you melt, totally wearable bridesmaid dresses, flower girl dresses and accessories so cute you'll want to recruit little girls to be in your wedding, ring bearer outfits that make little men out of boys, plus shoes, jewelry and accessories to add the perfect touch to each and every outfit. WHEW! Did I mention that there isn't a single look in the entire collection that I don't love?!?!

These are my current favorites -
Aldridge Two-button Tuxedo Jacket - See, I told you you'd want to rip off his clothes ;)
Italian Wool Suit Vest - My hubby needs to own this - HOT, HOT, HOT!
Girls' Tiered Silk Taffeta Cody Dress - Little girls could even get away wearing this post-wedding!
Wide Pearl Garden Bracelet - I bought something very similar to this for the bridesmaids that choose the high-neckline dress for our wedding, but they were brown. Still kicking myself for not buying one for me - duh!!

O.k., now on to the stuff you probably didn't know about. . . J. Crew has dedicated wedding specialists to help you plan your big day! They'll keep track of your wedding party, make sure you receive everything you need and even help plan your outfits for the rest of your events like the rehearsal dinner and your honeymoon. Did I mention they have an entire Honeymoon section - split up into Wife and Husband - with clothes perfect for your much-need trip of post-wedding relaxation?

You can request any of their color swatches online to ensure perfect matches. By far my favorite detail they offer is Something Blue Monogramming - J. Crew will sew a grosgrain ribbon into the back of your gown and monogram the bride's initials and wedding date in a gorgeous bridal blue - what a fantastic and meaningful idea! They've even thought about saving your precious time - if you order something and aren't in total love or it doesn't quite fit you can return it to any J. Crew store. They've even made it possible for you to try on a few of their gowns and bridesmaid dresses by appointment at select stores throughout the country.

And you thought J. Crew just had cute shoes (sorry, I couldn't resist!!). . .

Baci is looking for real weddings, unique ceremony ideas, season-appropriate favors, pretty much anything that is both wedding-related and AWESOME - so send us your photos, complete with descriptions and links to anything we might need to know {amanda@bacidesigner.com}. We'd love to hear from you!
