It can be very easy to forget almost everything else in the run up to your wedding day and focus solely on the dress itself. We admit, we're guilty of this little crime too – we here at S&P love to admire the latest wedding dresses and collections that are trending each season, who doesn't after all. However, this time we have decided to delve a little deeper and focus on what goes on underneath the dress. Yes, it’s time to take a look at another indulgent must-have for your wedding day – the bridal lingerie. Just like the dress itself, the lingerie and undergarments are another style piece that you can spend that little bit of extra time and money treating yourself to. Don't underestimate their importance in light of a luxurious gown – they need to be a priority just as much as any other wedding day accessory would be.
Bridal underwear will not only look amazing, but the right ensemble can make you feel empowered and confident, not to mention inject a bit of fun. We love the classic image of all-white lingerie underneath an all-white gown, but we've also included coloured lingerie for those more daring and bold brides – or even those who want to pick up a few more pieces for the honeymoon.
To help you focus a little bit more on these all important undergarments, we have gone ahead and compiled a selection from the best brands around, both high street and designer. So for the bride-to-bes who are a little overwhelmed by the process of choosing the right ensemble, we have divided them by style, colour and origin. There’s the truly indulgent and lavish pieces from the best lingerie designers around, and there’s also their high street counterparts. Whatever your preferences, you will be sure to find the perfect piece of lingerie, whether you want an absolute steal or you've decided to do a little splurge.
