Finally, as we headed out of the boudoir-like dressing room, Candy handed Ali and me each a list of the dresses, shoes, and accessories we fancied, printed in the most perfect handwriting I’ve ever seen. (Candy needs to start a side business.)

Regardless of whether or not I buy my dress from J.Crew, I’ll be going to back to the bridal boutique to purchase a least one piece for my wedding day wardrobe. If you’re engaged, you should visit, because this was seriously one of the best shopping experiences of my life.
