The Bluebella
Bridal Lingerie Guide
The Otherland
Where Anything Goes
The Otherland is a parallel world, a realm that reveals your many personalities. You’re fearless, subversive, and transformative. Think of it as a mirror universe, where you can explore your darkest fantasies and indulge your sensuality for the many versions of you.
From lace to latex, corsets and fishnet styles—we’ve got all you’ll need for this Halloween and beyond.
Discover the ultimate lingerie, loungewear and swimwear for hen-dos, honeymoons and wedding lingerie (not forgetting your something new and something blue).
Not sure where to start? We’ve put together a handy how-to guide for the modern bride, from sets to suspenders, stockings and hosiery… and how it all comes together. We are the experts, after all.
The dress gets all the attention. But the piece you put on first, the one closest to your skin, sets the tone for everything that follows. At Bluebella, bridal lingerie isn’t an afterthought. It’s the starting point.
From the dress fitting to hen-do, wedding and honeymoon, bridal lingerie acts as an extension of personal style — not just a one-time wear. We pride ourselves in designing lingerie to be a forever purchase, to cherish for years to come.
The First layer
Wedding Day &
Night Lingerie
Start by looking at what you actually wear. The bras you keep reaching for, the cuts you feel most at ease in. Your existing wardrobe knows your silhouette better than any quiz does.
Most brides end up wanting more than one set: something considered and comfortable for the ceremony, something sexy and sensual for the wedding night.
Don't try to make one piece do everything. Instead, think about each moment and dress for it deliberately.
Our designs are made to be felt as much as seen,
cut to flatter, crafted to last, and never bought just
for one occasion.
Bridal Garters,
Hosiery & Stockings
The right hosiery is less about tradition, more about how you want to feel from the ankle up.
A suspender belt pairs beautifully with stockings for a more considered, dressed look. Prefer something simpler? Hold-ups work perfectly with a thigh garter. And if you opt for a thigh garter harness, no stockings are needed. It’s a statement all on its own.
Luxury Loungewear
The wedding night, the morning after, the hotel
at 7am when you’re still in last night’s haze.
This is where nightwear earns its place.
From getting-ready bridal robes, satin pyjama sets, sheer chiffon chemises and embroidered teddies that could pass for evening wear. These aren’t pieces you wear once and retire. They’re the kind of thing you pack again and again.
And because nightwear doesn’t depend on
precision sizing, it’s the easiest way to choose
something that feels genuinely luxurious,
without overthinking it.
Tip: Add a personal touch by getting yours and your bridesmaids' initials sewn into each set, courtesy of our monogramming service.
What to wear:
Hen-do & Honeymoon
The hen and the honeymoon deserve as much
thought as the main event, arguably more, since
the dress code is more fun.
Whether you’re a weekend-in-Lisbon bride or
a two-week-in-the-Maldives bride, you’ll want
pieces that work hard. Styles that rotate easily
between beach, bar, and bedroom; looks your
hens can echo without being matchy-matchy;
and something that makes you feel brilliant
when it’s just the two of you. Look to bridal bodysuits,
white swimwear or white lace lingerie in our bridal edit.
Honeymoon Lingerie
This romance-filled time is the best occasion to explore our Provocative collection that offer some playful accessories too. Versatile styling for those who need to be pack-savvy is key: mix-and-match your lingerie and loungewear for those recovery days or opt for bodysuits, swimsuits and sarongs that can be worn from beach to bar and all the romantic dinners inbetween.
Packing checklist:
What lingerie should I wear on my wedding night?
Start by looking at what you actually wear. The bras you keep reaching for, the cuts you feel most at ease in. Your existing wardrobe knows your silhouette better than any quiz does. Looking for something more sexy than usual? Opt for our more sensual styles from our provocative collection.
What colour lingerie should I buy for wedding night?
Remember: you don’t have to wear white. Depending on the time of year, you could choose tonal colours or cool pastels that illuminate the skin: pearl pink, ice water blue or more bold colours like bold red, blue or black to purposely poke through and make lingerie the statement.
When should I buy bridal lingerie? What colour lingerie should I buy for wedding night?
Your fitting appointments are a great occasion to work out what type of lingerie would work best underneath your dream dress.
Do I need special underwear for my wedding dress? What colour lingerie should I buy for wedding night?
Bras: Underwired bras are an ideal choice for non-backless dresses and those without a built-in bodice. Once you’ve found the perfect one, complete the look with a matching thong or brief – lingerie sets are our speciality.
Briefs/thong: If you’ve opted for a tight-fitting or potentially sheer dress, then wearing a minimal thong or flat bonded briefs may be your best option to avoid an unwanted panty line and smooth finish under clothing. Our Naomi collection has been crafted with flat bonded edging exactly for this.
Many of our styles are purposely designed with details made to be seen, a bra with a winged strap or detailed cup or a bodysuit could peek through and become part of your outfit, which is perfect for a modern bride-to-be.

Can bridal lingerie be worn after the wedding?What colour lingerie should I buy for wedding night?
Absolutely! We encourage this. Bridal lingerie should feel personal and made for you, not a costume for one night only. The most confident choices are the ones that feel authentic, whether that’s cup shapes you always wear, luxurious fabrications that indulge your sensuality or modern designs that identify with your style.
