How to choose bridal lingerie comes down to three things: your dress, your comfort and the moment you are dressing for. This guide takes you through each one, so you can choose pieces that feel right from the ceremony to the evening.

Start with the dress
The neckline, the back and the fabric of your dress shape every other decision. A low back or plunging neckline calls for a different shape from a structured bodice, and sheer or fitted fabrics need a smoother finish beneath.
Choose the shade
Under a white or ivory dress, a shade close to your skin tone is often the least visible. White and ivory lace come into their own for the evening, when the lingerie is meant to be seen.
Day and evening
Many brides choose two looks: a comfortable foundation for the day and something special for the wedding night. The Aria embroidered lace set in white is crisp, luminous and timeless, and includes a suspender belt for the complete look. For a sculpted alternative, see our garter bodysuits. If you would rather something darker for the wedding night, our black lace lingerie sets are timeless.
Get the fit right
Check your size against our size guide and buy your lingerie before your final dress fitting, so everything can be tried on together.
Little extras
Soft sleepwear for the morning after and a set for the honeymoon complete the trousseau. Browse Sleepwear and Honeymoon.
