Wedding Knickers!
With one royal wedding completed and another due the beginning of July, we can safely be assured that wedding fever is upon us. And as many of us ladies already know, it’s the dress that takes the most attention! From Kate’s beautiful Grace Kelly-inspired Sarah Burton for Alexander Queen creation, to Charlene’s custom-made Giorgio Armani gown she will wear come July, fashion watchers debate the glorious gown months before and after the nuptials have taken place.
But what about underneath? Wedding lingerie is just as important to the big day to ensure that the dress fits exactly how it should and fashion bloggers are discussing the smalls as much as the dress, so what to wear for the big day?

Aside from the Aston Villa briefs that Kate was rumoured to have worn on her wedding night, and despite Ultimo boss Michelle Mone having
designed a bridal collection especially for Kate without having been commissioned, it is more likely that the Princess wore something a little more exquisite on her big day and was reported to have shopped at an upmarket lingerie boutique in Berkshire called ‘Angela Knight Lingerie’ which stocks brands such as Pleasure State Couture and Myla, both of which have very beautiful lingerie for any bride-to-be.

For vintage style lovers looking for the perfect shaping under a wedding gown, Made by Niki is a shapewear lingerie brand which offers 1950’s style shapes with a very modern touch. And for a modern courtesan look, Agent Provocateur has the sexiest of silk lingerie including this beautiful corset.
For something a little more soft and delicate, Fleur of England offers structured and unstructured bras with girly details while Jenna Leigh Lingerie has fresh, crisp white pieces in broderie anglaise.
And finally, a little something for the evening, this beautiful lace nightdress from Hanky Panky would make anyone feel like a Princess on their wedding night!
