LINGERIE

A bride’s wardrobe tends to center around her wedding dress, followed by shoes and accessories to complete the perfect wedding day look. However, there’s a burgeoning trend that is shifting the spotlight towards what lies beneath the gown – designer bridal lingerie. Even beyond the aisle, there are several moments that may call for a luxury lingerie set including bridal boudoir photo shoots, couples’ pre-wedding shoots, and – of course – the honeymoon. This season’s top designer bridal lingerie picks come from Tatu Couture and Paloma Casile, showcasing an exquisite blend of elegance and sensuality.

When a fashion designer’s work merits a museum exhibition, it’s usually a nostalgic display. Since storming the French fashion world in the 1970s, however, Jean Paul Gaultier has unceasingly defied convention. Even as the high-tech inaugural retrospective of his haute couture and ready-to-wear pieces captivates The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts’ visitors, he is challenging women to embrace a more potent sense of their femininity with a provocative collection created for La Perla.

While nothing supplants wedding gowns as the centerpiece of nuptial fashion, lingerie allows newlywed glamour to extend well beyond the wedding night and even the honeymoon. “Early in a marriage is a great time to have beautiful lingerie,” says Rebecca Apsan, founder of La Petite Coquette in New York City. “It sets the tone.”

It’s hard to think of Valentine’s Day without lingerie. But, when it comes to lingerie, we often have a preconceived notion of what it’s supposed to look like, and we aren’t quite sure how it fits into our wardrobe. Below, you’ll find nine luxury designers showing that lingerie can be so many different things. Whether your personal taste is edgy or romantic, modern or retro, lingerie can fit your style and you’ll want to wear it long after Valentine’s Day is over.

Starting with a gorgeous bridal boudoir session, House of Tales Events brings us a romantic styled wedding shoot inspired by French elegance. Enjoy a “one-way ticket” to the French countryside!
