Give your groom a wedding night to remember with this gorgeous range of vintage inspired underwear by Fred & Ginger.
Designed by Victoria Holt, this collection is not for the blushing bride. It's flirty, sexy and glamorous, and includes French knickers, corsets, boleros, garters, camisoles, balconette bras and nighties, all with a Fifties boutique vibe.
The collection also uses French silk satins, crinkle chiffons, Chantilly lace and Swarovski crystals, a perfect ensemble to get your groom's heart racing on your wedding night.
If anything can make you feel more fabulous than a well-fitted frock (and I'm hoping you'll have got that bit nailed by the big day!) it's knowing that the whole ensemble is supported by top-notch underwear. A great bra, that's reliable but not too firm, knickers that don't pinch and suspenders for extra sex-appeal can really make your outfit go with a bang - and I haven't even got to the bit about the wedding night yet...
I don't usually talk about my unmentionables on the internet, but having sampled quite a few brands in my time the one that still gets me excited is Buttress and Snatch. Made in the East End of London by 'honest, hardworking girls' the quality of this range is second-to-none, and the designs are ever so pretty. Not remotely cheap, they make great presents or occasionwear, and will stay with you for years. I won't say how long I've had my B&S suspender belt, but it's outlived most of the faded froth in my knicker draw by a considerable margin!

Ooh la la! This is the ultimate bridal corset from...Bridal Corsets. It has a real vintage feel with the heavyweight gobelin fabric (a kind of silk/wool mix brocade) - all the better to hold you in with - and a pretty lace trim. The best part is the traditional style lacing will take 10cm off your waist! Perfect for under the dress or the wedding night. *wink*
Priced £295.

For most couples, the honeymoon is a long-awaited oasis of relaxation and lounging, involving as much staying in as possible, preferably in the holiday home of your dreams! But we all know there's a fine line between lounging and lazing, so if you want to avoid starting off your married life in your old pyjamas, now is the time to invest in some sexy and stylish loungewear.
Fairygothmother doesn't sell anything that isn't stylish or sexy, so it's no surprise that it does a good line in boudouir accessories. What is impressive is that it's selling off many of these items at great prices. This kimono dressing gown, for example, is £37 reduced from £75, and would make ideal honeymoon wear.
This new lingerie set from Coco de Mer definitely puts the sauce in saucy! They've taken traditional Toile de Jouy scenes (think pastoral scenes of shepardesses) and given it a naughty twist by having characters getting a little more frisky. It's probably make a fun honeymoon set but I think the point of it might be rather lost on your bridegroom unless he has got very keen eyes.
The set comprises a silk georgette classic bra with full briefs trimmed with satin bows. Visit Coco de Mer here (please note - not work safe!)

If you're lucky enough to be tall and leggy (grrr, I'm so jealous!) you might find it hard to source a bridal basque that fits properly. Which is why I found this lovely "Carnival" strapless satin basque, extra long and fully boned for support and shaping. It comes in white or ivory with removable suspenders and matching knickers or thong.
"Carnival" long bridal basque set, £92 from Sophie & Grace.
