The 20 Best Places to Buy Lingerie for Your Wedding Night, Honeymoon, and Beyond

Though Lane Bryant boasts a 115+ year history, the offerings from the plus-size brand’s lingerie collection, Cacique Intimates, are anything but dated. In addition to daily staples like cotton panties and bralettes, you’ll find super sexy pieces perfect for your wedding night, including faux-leather quarter-cup bras and side-tie panties with cheeky appeals like “tease me” emblazoned on the back. They’re all available in sizes up to 28 to help you flatter and flaunt every curve. To take your sultry look to the next level, you’ll also find boudoir-ready accessories, like thigh-high backseam stockings. 

The pieces are remarkably budget-friendly as is, but Lane Bryant sweetens the deal with frequent offers and coupons, a rewards program, and a credit card to help you earn more points faster for greater savings. With your Lane Bryant credit card, you also get more time to return anything that just isn’t your style—up to 60 days as opposed to the 45 granted to regular shoppers.

Fleur du Mal’s bridal lingerie collection masterfully toes the line between sweet and scintillating, with everything from angel-sleeved robes to eyelash lace-accented garter belts. The brand also partners with bridal designers like Galia Lahav to release exclusive lingerie like this gorgeous hand-beaded silk bustier. While we’re partial to Fleur du Mal’s wedding selection due to its beautifully curated assortment of white, ivory, and something-blue pieces (like this lace halter teddy), the luxe brand’s full range of lingerie offers plenty of options to suit any color or style preference. You’ll find everything you’re looking for to make your wedding night memorable, including lace boxers, should your guy want to feel a little fancy, too. You can return anything unworn with its original tags within 30 days of purchase. 

Size Range: XS-XL; 30A-38G

Shopping for lingerie isn’t always the easiest experience, especially if you are very petite or have extra ample curves—but Cosabella’s range of soft and sensual pieces is designed for sizes ranging from 28A all the way up to 36L, making it a breeze for brides of all sizes to look and feel their best. The brand is best known for its use of Italian lace. While it looks delicate, the fabric is remarkably strong and stretchy for major comfort and confidence. 

Some of our favorite styles for the wedding night include the Never Say Never Tie Me Up Deep V Bodysuit, which features a charming satin tie-waist (and snap gusset for easy removal), and the Romanza Sleep Romper, which functions as the perfect combination of loungewear and lingerie. But we’d be remiss not to mention their thongs, one of our favorites on the market due to their wide, elastic-free waistband that never rolls down. You can buy them a la carte or via a monthly subscription, which gives you a 10 percent discount—a great bridal shower gift, in case you’re looking for a friend!

Size Range: PS-3XL; 28A-36L

Anthropologie’s BHLDN collection is a favorite of brides due to its accessibility and affordability, so we’re not surprised by the brand’s exceptional selection of bridal lingerie. Like the rest of the retailer’s assortment, it includes vintage-inspired styles as well as ones with more modern appeal. For example, the satin construction and underwire cups of this light blue Mucci chemise provide just the right touch of retro glamour. If you’re after something trendier, this Rya Collection cami and tap pant set can do double duty: It’s appropriate enough to wear for getting-ready photos, yet sweetly sexy and comfy, making it something you’ll want to sport post-wedding, too. If you’re following the wedding garter tradition, you’ll find a few options here, including this darling one from Hanky Panky, which is both budget-friendly and features a little something blue. So long as your purchase is unused, you’ll be able to return it within 30 days.

Size Range: XS-XL

For Love and Lemons is known for its dreamy and romantic lingerie, and its bridal lingerie collection is no exception. Whether you’re looking to live out a Bridgerton fantasy with the help of a Regency-era nightgown or want a bold piece that could be worn on a particularly racy date night, you’ll find it here. Case in point—the Venetia slip dress, a cropped take on vintage sleepwear, and the Sonja slip dress, a completely sheer mini embellished with rhinestones and a chiffon cowl neckline. And, if you’re looking to combine both vibes, there’s the Blushing Blooms slip dress, which features a dramatic midi-length tulle hoop skirt and open back. If you change your mind about your purchase, make sure you return it within 21 days (unworn with its tags still intact, of course) to get refunded.

Size Range: XXS-XL

Not only does Nordstrom have a huge selection of bridal lingerie across all price points and sizes, it’s extremely generous return policy makes it one of our all-time favorite shopping destinations: If you’re buying lingerie for your wedding a year from now or as a gift for your friend’s bridal shower, you can take comfort in the fact that you likely won’t be punished by a time limit or a lost receipt. Gift givers can’t go wrong with this chemise or romper from Eberjey, both of which feature sexy lace panels that are sheer in all the right places without being too risqué to present in mixed company. If you’re shopping for yourself, consider this festive side-tie undie set from Savage x Fenty—you can enhance their marital messaging by topping off your look with a matching veil. 

Size Range: XXS-4XL

If you’re on a budget, AdoreMe’s bridal lingerie has the sexy styles you’re looking for at satisfying price points. Eco-friendly brides will appreciate that the brand is a certified B-corporation and not only sells pieces made with recycled fibers and deadstock, but ships them out in sustainable packaging, too. 

There are a lot of different ways to shop AdoreMe’s collection, including in stores, on its website, and through TikTok Shop, which we find especially helpful for getting a sense of the fit and styling of certain pieces. The brand also offers two subscription models, VIP and Elite, that provide further savings—and the latter lets you try before you buy. 

Size Range: XS-4XL

The bridal pieces from woman-founded, family-owned Gooseberry Intimates are expert-level basics—staples with small details that make them exceptional, like the geometric pattern on these sheer high-cut panties or the seamed cups of this vintage-meets-modern bra. Beyond mix-and-match pieces, the brand offers slinky PJs, loungewear, and other clothing—like this sheer lace mini-dress, which is perfect for your honeymoon—as well as swimwear. The size range is fairly limited, so be sure of your measurements before you order. Any pieces that don’t fit can be returned new within 30 days of receipt, so long as they weren’t on sale.

Size Range: XS-L

Whether you’re clicking through the site or scanning the shelves in person at one of the company’s storefronts, you’ll want to add lots of luxe lingerie to your cart when shopping at Journelle. From daily basics and shapewear to titillating ouverts and bustiers, Journelle offers some of the most spectacular pieces available from bestselling designers like Simone Perele and Kiki di Montparnasse, as well as styles from their own eponymous brand. While we’d encourage you to check out everything they have to offer, the brand’s bridal guide simplifies any search for a wife-to-be, breaking down the collection into categories like honeymoon sets and bridal shower gifts. If you’re someone who has a lingerie collection (or would like to!), Journelle also has a gift registry that’ll help you guarantee you get exactly what you want in your perfect size. 

Size Range: XS-XXL; 30A-42FF

We all know that well-made and affordable can be mutually exclusive terms when shopping for bras, especially if you need a larger size (and you want it to look nice, too). Good luck! Skarlett Blue’s collection accommodates bust sizes up to an H cup, with sturdy, budget-friendly, and, yes, beautiful bras. We’re especially fond of this lacy balconette, which is as pretty as it is practical, providing side support as well as added structure and sex appeal courtesy of four-piece sheer seamed cups. With so many enticing pieces to choose from and a solid return policy (free returns and exchanges within 30 days), we’re confident you’ll find something steamy to wear on your wedding night.

Size Range: XS-XXL; 30A-40H

This France-based brand launched over 100 years ago—shortly after societal rejection of the corset—to provide women with comfortable and beautiful lingerie. Etam works tirelessly to develop innovations in undergarments, especially in lace, creating pieces you’ll covet even if you tend to hate frilly things, like this floral-embroidered tulle bra and barely there nightdress. Beyond bras, thongs, and other underwear, Etam makes clothing, including pajamas, athleisure, and swimwear. Returns are easy even if you’re based in the US—just set up a DHL pickup within 30 days and slap on your prepaid label.

Size Range: XXS-XXL; 32A-40DD

Victoria’s Secret has been the lingerie gateway for countless women over several decades and remains a mainstay—the company has locations everywhere, and its products can be ordered not just from the brand site, but Amazon and even DoorDash. Relationships with brands like For Love and Lemons, an ever-expanding size range, adaptive styles, and frequent sales make the collection even more desirable. A few bridal pieces we love include this maxi-length modal slip dress and this sheer cami and flutter short set, both of which are worthy of staying in your lingerie wardrobe long after you’ve returned from your honeymoon. Anything you buy from Victoria’s Secret, even clearance items, can be returned within 30 days so long as it’s unworn.

Size Range: XS-4XL

Agent Provocateur makes luxurious, showstopping lingerie that demands to be seen. The London-born brand is set apart by its meticulous attention to small details, like the gold-plated chains and sprinkling of Swarovski crystals on this halter-style bra, or the Baroque-inspired hip panels and corset-style boning on this waist cincher. The splurge-worthy pieces will make you feel like a celebrity every time you disrobe—which makes sense, as stars like Kate Moss, Kylie Minogue, and even Beyoncé have been spotted wearing Agent Provocateur styles. 

The brand uses its own numerical sizing system, which may be a challenge to figure out at first. We recommend contacting the very helpful customer service team for guidance or visiting a local boutique if you’re uncertain. Once you receive your lingerie (which will be artfully presented in the brand’s signature pink box), you’ll have 28 days to make a return, which is easily done online.

Size Range: 1-7

Bare Necessities is an invaluable resource for anyone shopping for undergarments—it feels like an enormous virtual department store dedicated almost exclusively to bras and panties (though you’ll find other lingerie, swimwear, and pajamas, too). The retailer offers styles from more than 60 brands as well as the broadest size range we’ve seen anywhere, accommodating cup sizes from A through O. In addition to sexier pieces like this sheer babydoll, which suits cup sizes up to HH, the Bare Necessities wedding shop provides shapewear solutions for even the trickiest gowns, like this low-back thigh shaper. You’ll find everything you need for the wedding day as well as your wedding night, honeymoon, and beyond.

Inspired by traditional French craftsmanship, 19th-century vintage, and modernist design, Livy harnesses the personas of Paris, New York, and Los Angeles to create jaw-droppingly steamy styles. You’ll captivate your new spouse regardless of which piece you choose, whether you’re partial to the geometric embroidery of this white tanga or are daring enough to sport this triangle bra made up of interlocking gilded rings. Many options, including this rhinestone and metal piece, function as body jewelry that can be worn on bare skin or over clothing. You’ll have 21 days to return anything unworn that doesn’t fit, but pay close attention when ordering online, as the brand uses French sizing. If you happen to be traveling to Europe for your honeymoon, we’d highly recommend stopping into one of their boutiques for a little shopping spree—Livy shops are all throughout France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and England—to make your trip extra memorable.

Size Range: XS-XL; 85B-95D

A few years ago, we threw out almost all of our panties and replaced them with dozens of Hanky Panky’s signature lace thongs. They’re that comfortable, with wide, flat waistbands that never cut into skin or show under tight clothes, and come in every color of the rainbow and multiple rises. Due to their one-size-fits-most design, they make excellent bridal shower gifts: We’d personally be thrilled to receive the Bride & Mrs. Thong Box Set or the Bridal Countdown Box, which contains several pairs of the signature thong as well as a garter for the big day and a few crotchless panty options for the wedding night. (It does sell out frequently, but check back for restocks!) Beyond undies, the brand offers traditional lingerie like teddies—this shimmering white halter style conceals the phrase “I Do” in its lace—as well as bras and bralettes, pajamas, swimwear, and more. 

Size Range: 4-24; 32A-36G

The divine designs and careful construction of this Italian heritage brand’s styles make them feel indulgent to wear. Even La Perla’s shapewear, like this embroidered tulle bodysuit and underwired slip dress, looks like sensual lingerie, making them ideal for wearing straight from your wedding reception to the honeymoon suite. Lace adorns many La Perla styles, imbuing sheer panties and bralettes with romance. So long as the tags are still on and you haven’t customized a piece, the brand offers free returns for up to 28 days. That said, if you’re building out a bride’s trousseau, we’d encourage you to take advantage of La Perla’s complimentary personalization for many of its silk pieces, including robes and nightgowns. 

Size Range: 3XS-XXL; 30A-36D

From couture lace robes to sumptuous satin slips, Aussie brand Homebodii offers dreamy lingerie, sleepwear, and loungewear pieces that are as comfortable as they are elegant. Many of the styles are eligible for complimentary personalization, and the brand’s services are more customizable than most—in addition to being able to pick where the garment is personalized (for example, the lapel, pocket, or cuff), you can choose from multiple fonts, crests, and motifs to create a truly unique gift for yourself, your bridesmaids, or a newly-engaged friend. Just be aware that personalizing a product makes it ineligible for return—otherwise, any return must be initiated within seven days of receipt.

Size Range: XXS-4XL

If you’d call your bridal style bohemian, you’ll love the effortlessly dreamy pieces from this Charleston, South Carolina-based brand. Lorette’s tightly curated collection of designs is simple and sensual, allowing for maximum comfort while enhancing your curves. One of our favorite styles is this fluttery sleepwear set, which is made from Austrian silk chiffon and enhanced with a 24K gold clasp. Though its completely sheer material leaves little to the imagination, the godets of the cami and shorties make the overall look endearingly romantic. The brand uses its own sizing system, which loosely translates to XS-XL, but if you need a custom size, reach out—they are happy to accommodate different sizes when crafting certain pieces.

Size Range: 0-4

Founder Josie Cruz Natori left her role as the first VP of Investment Banking at Merrill Lynch to start her eponymous company nearly 50 years ago and has been producing tasteful, sophisticated styles ever since. Though the brand also offers clothing, swimwear, and fine jewelry, Natori is best known for its expansive collection of lingerie and sleepwear, with plenty of gorgeous pieces for brides and bridesmaids alike. You’ll find options at all price points, whether that’s this more budget-friendly lace-trimmed robe or this ultra-luxe couture silk robe, which took nearly 27 hours to intricately embroider with cherry blossoms. These more traditional options make for perfect bridal shower gifts, as do Natori’s refined lingerie styles—we’re especially partial to this mesh romper that’s been enhanced with the brand’s signature feathery lace.

FAQ

• 
  Above all, look for something that makes you feel like your best self. “It’s not about wearing lingerie because you’re ‘supposed’ to—it’s about confidence, comfort, and celebrating your body in a way that feels right for you,” says Forrest. If you’re wearing a piece under your dress, you’ll want to make sure it supports and shapes you without peeking out or creating noticeable lines. If you’re wearing it on your wedding night or beyond, anything goes. “At Zola, we’re also big fans of versatility, so consider investing in something that you'll wear again even after the honeymoon,” Forrest says. 

• Many people love shopping for lingerie, and that includes guests of bridal showers. If you’re buying lingerie for someone else, consider how they usually dress as well as the look of their wedding gown and any themes of the big day. You can also check a bride’s registry to see if she’s added any lingerie to the list—Zola has bridal lingerie among its registry options, as do other retailers. If not, white lace is a classic choice, and you also can’t go wrong with comfy sleepwear. “But if she hasn’t hinted at it, hasn’t registered for it, and lingerie has never come up in conversation, maybe skip the silky stuff and go with something else,” suggests Forrest. It may also save your friend from embarrassment—most brides would be horrified by future in-laws seeing what they wear in the boudoir. “The best gift is one the bride will genuinely use, whether that’s sheets, pajamas, money for her honeymoon, or a bralette!” Forrest adds. If you really want to give the bride lingerie for tradition’s sake, you can also consider saving that gift for the bachelorette party. 
  

• That entirely depends on your budget and the value you place on this purchase. If you plan on wearing it again, it may be a worthwhile investment, but even if you only wear a piece once, you can still feel empowered to treat yourself. “I see bridal lingerie as a ‘splurge moment’ and an opportunity for self-care, because it’s all about feeling good and beautiful during a special time,” says Forrest. 

• Your wedding is a celebration of you and your love. “If lingerie is something that will make you feel special, go for it,” says Forrest. “If not, that money can go toward something else that makes you feel amazing on the big day.” That could be an especially fancy pair of shoes or a spray tan.
