Within the theme of your wedding, you will likely be poring over the details of your stationery, flower arrangements, table dressing and of course, your bridal look. What you shouldn't overlook amongst all of this planning is your wedding lingerie. Sure enough, your choice will be determined in part by the design of your dress, but we have set out to make it easier to narrow down your selection of designers based on some favourite bridal styles. You can always slip into these for your honeymoon or for the wedding night!

Mae’s Sunday is not interested in stealing the show when it comes to your bridal lingerie. It’s a brand that doesn’t need to flirt with trends or fanciful designs. Instead, it is simple, sensual and timeless. The small collection is convenient for taking away complicated considerations. Less choice in this area doesn’t mean that you don’t have more to peruse. Mae's Sunday rival their underwear collection with a breath-taking range of robes, slips and bodysuits made of beautiful silks, lace and beading that stands out amongst more well-known underwear brands.
The Founders of Mae’s Sunday have made it a mission to see that each piece is handcrafted and meticulously thought out meaning it will look good and function well. Exclusivity is key here; you will only find Mae's Sunday in a handful of places in Europe given that very few are ‘in the know’ about this beautiful brand.

f you are seeking perfection and have the budget available, Luna Mae provide fully bespoke options for wedding lingerie. To say it isn’t cheap is an understatement but the result is pure magic. We especially liked that they discreetly monogram each piece with your initial and that in addition to your underwear set, they can also make bespoke robes for you to wear the morning of your wedding and every morning after that if you so wish.
Bespoke fittings are by appointment only in their London boutique, an experience that is set to be memorable far after your wedding day. However, if getting to London isn’t an option, they will work with you to create your bespoke lingerie by taking your measurements over the phone or email. The quality of the craftsmanship and the intricacy of the design make this option one that you will fall in love with over and over again.
Having access to fully customisable options is perfect for brides who have a fixed idea of what they want without having to compromise with boutique designers or high-street brands. It also benefits brides that have particular sizing requirements or complicated dress designs that require more creative thinking and hand-tailored tinkering.
Price range: From £360
Stockists: Direct only (London boutique)
The key to choosing the right lingerie for your wedding and honeymoon is finding something that makes you feel confident. Take time to try on your favourite options a couple of times ahead of buying and remember that your final choice doesn't necessarily need to work underneath your dress. There will be time to change into your special bridal lingerie later in the evening.
