Pretty Pajamas
Ensure your bridal pajamas stand out from all the others in your collection by seeking special details. Lace trim gives a short-sleeve set an utterly romantic feel, while feather trim offers a fanciful touch to long-sleeve and pants coordinates. We recommend Carine Gilson’s matching lace trimmed cami and shorts as a worthy splurge, but if simplicity is your bliss, you can’t go wrong with Lunya’s washable silk set.
Easy Dresses
Luxe white slips and nighties abound, but practically speaking, a simpler design will serve you best on the big day. That doesn’t mean disregarding luxury altogether. Intimissimi’s delicately lace-trimmed silk slip is cut on the bias to skim the body just perfectly, while Dôen’s shirred organic cotton-voile midi dress is a beautifully breezy option for warm-weather brides getting ready in the heat. Meanwhile, Hill House Home’s iconic Swiss dot Ellie Nap Dress gets a fresh update in a classic white eyelet, with plenty of give to slip over your shoulders or down your hips when changing into your gown.
Romantic Robes
Whether you layer a robe over PJs or toss one over your lingerie moments before stepping into your wedding dress, this is the ultimate getting-ready piece. Classic silhouettes with elegant details will forever appear chic in your wedding photos, like lace-trimmed chiffon, floral-printed linen, or embroidered silk charmeuse. For the bride who has embraced bridal emblems and monograms, Fleur du Mal’s silk robe features “Bride” embroidery on the back in delicate pearls—a special keepsake you can hold onto for years to come.
