BRIDAL LINGERIE - BLUEBELLA BRIDES

Bluebella X Brides

It’s steadily approaching the warmer weather of June, which means amongst other activities for delightful summer nights, wedding season is approaching! We're all fans of a summer wedding; garden parties, fizz cocktails and killer outfits, but for a few it means a chance to show their loved one just how much they mean to them. We believe one great way to do that is in the bedroom, which is why we’ve created some perfectly provocative pieces to accompany the big night, after the big day!

Bridal lingerie can be complicated, full of intricate buttons and more lace than the dress itself. Lots of us think we have to buy specialised garments that in all honesty are just going to come straight off. However no one bride is exactly the same; we all want different things from our lingerie, and a wedding is no exception!

New In Bridal - S/S18

Our new Spring/Summer '18 Collection has just launched and features some absolutely stunning new ivory pieces, perfect for the bride-to-be (or anyone, really)!

Valeria Open Cup Bra, Ivory

The gorgeous Gabriela Bra and High-waist Thong, Tigerlily Basque and Valeria Open Cup Bra and Brief are all brand new and are all utterly delicious.

Our Bridal Collection ranges from such sensuous bras and basques as these to flirtatious harnesses to gorgeously simple sets with smooth lines and elegant full length chemises. Every woman is sure to find something that takes their fancy, and there are no fiddly buttons in sight - let's leave that for the dresses.

Bestselling Bridal - Continuity

Nova

As well as our New In Bridal pieces we have some gorgeous bestsellers that will most definitely take your fancy, often recognisable due to their Insta-fame. None take the biscuit in the Social stakes more so than Nova Bra, desired by almost every blogger (and bride) under the Instagram sun.

With an ivory spin to make it ready for the big day, the delightfully playful cut out nature of the Nova makes you feel cool, sassy and wildly sexy. Our pick would be the Nova Body or Nova Bra - something to make you feel a little bit naughty when making those steps towards your life-long partner.

Emerson

As we've demonstrated above, for a wedding you can’t go wrong with beautiful ivory lingerie – a classic choice for the bride-to-be. Our Ivory Emerson range is perfect for the traditional bride who wants to be a little bit less conventional underneath the dress... Pair the Emerson Bra and Brief for an understated yet suggestive look in lace, or up your game with the Emerson Harness Brief which is just a little more adventurous. Perhaps one to be donned after the dress has come off, this lacy number is just the ticket to give a little more than they bargained for.

Rose Dust Laura

If the standard white of a wedding is a bit too much for you, the flirty, playful Rose Dust pink of the Laura Collection is perfect for the bride who wants a little more support without losing any of the sex appeal. Slinky and elegant, the Laura Collection includes a Body, a Push-up, Balcony, or Soft Cup Bra, and features also a simple Suspender, which is not only seductive in its design but also offers a streamlined shape for practical use beneath the most special dress you’ll ever wear (see our Hosiery Blog).

Bargain-hunting Bride

Whilst the wedding industry is one of the biggest in the world - the UK spends on average around £10 billion a year on the special event - we can’t lie that we’re pretty keen on keeping our eyes open for a bargain, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. The Lyra Bra and Thong in Rose Dust is not only pretty and delicate, but made with allover lace; the collection is decadent in all the right places. The best thing? No one would ever know just how good value it was…

Look no further brides, Bluebella caters for all bridal tastes and wedding situations in one beautiful, affordable swoop. Check out the full Bridal collection now.

Easter Bank Holiday - We have you covered!

WHATEVER YOUR BANK HOLIDAY BREAK HOLDS….WE HAVE YOU COVERED!
Get ready for your four delicious days off, however you choose to spend them…

Now that all we really want to do is slide out of work and into the sun, we're hoping that the longer days and warmer nights can be spent without waking up for work, and as if by magic - and by magic we mean the annual change of seasons - Easter Bank Holiday has arrived to give us a couple of extra glorious days off!
But how to spend them? Well, we at Bluebella have some ideas...

Hit the Town
Bank Holiday means those three words that are sure to put a smile on anyone's face…four-day-week. An extra Friday and Monday means that there's no excuse not to hit the town, as there is plenty of time to lay around in bed and nurse the hangover. Seeing as you'll be out until the break of dawn, you'll need an extra bit of support to help you on your way to partying until sunrise.
Though traditionally underwear is meant to support you on the inside, when it looks as good as ours we're eager to show it off on the outside too. Embrace underwear as outerwear and rock the lingerie look. You don't have to start with the most revealing item on the list either, a body will most likely do the trick to take you from evening to bedtime. We're loving the Amelie Body, which can be paired with a pair of slinky black jeans and a leather jacket to turn heads all evening long, while the Jemima Long Chemise works perfectly thrown over any party number.
Or how about one of our infamously gorgeous bras, styled under a top with a low V or jacket? Or perhaps the Emerson or Nova under a sheer little number? The possibilities are endless! Take some inspo below from some of our favourite bloggers, or check out our Instagram!

Dirty Weekend
There’s another reason not to leave the duvet this weekend, and we all know what that is…February might be long gone, but there’s no reason not to create another holiday of love, and this time there are four whole days of unadulterated pleasure.
For this kind of wild weekend, ditch the PJs and opt for something a whole lot more revealing. We love a delicate cut out, so spice things up with one of our best sellers the Nova Bra, Suspender and Open Brief, which keeps you just about in place whilst teasing your lover with what’s to come. If you’re feeling slightly more adventurous then it might be time to try something a little more strappy. We’re feeling the Emerson Harness Brief or Caton Harness Brief, the perfectly flirtatious piece, which we can almost guarantee won’t stay on for long. If you want to go even more extreme during the stay-cation (there’s definitely enough time) you could always opt for our Tigerlily Basque, guaranteed to make your lover's head spin and the claws come out.
Easter is a time for giving but for this one we recommend forgetting the Easter egg. Sometimes the best gift you can give is yourself, and if you’re not sure about the lacy black numbers, you can always go with the failsafe option of our All Wrapped Up Body Bow...

Duvet Days
Of course, we're not all party animals, and for a lot of us the best way to spend a long weekend of relaxing Springtime weather is watching from the sanctuary of your sheets. Forget to set the alarm clock, get Netflix open and spend four days of relaxing, chilled out time in everyone's favourite location - bed.
And now the sun is finally around, we're not going to be too pleased when sweatpants start to live up to their name, so ditch the fleece and opt for something a little softer and silkier to snuggle in under the covers. It's time to get both chic and cosy and treat yourself to some new PJs – from our long and short Claudia and Abigail sets to petite cami and short sets like our Caitlin, there's something for everyone who doesn't envision stepping outside until well after we've gobbled down our body weight in chocolatey snacks.

City Mooching
Flat whites and flats and friends. If you do need to pop to the shop to stock up on provisions, or pop out for a coffee with sun-drenched friends? Wrap yourself in a Kimono and some mom jeans for the perfect ‘City Moochin' look, or a loose shirt with a gorgeous Milla Bra neck detail - no one need know the messy bun is a product of bed head.

Bluebella's Top Hot Trends for 2017

Because we’re so relieved the cursed year of 2016 is finally over, we’ve teamed up with our favourite bloggers to bring you a list of what trends we predict are going to be big this year…

THE GLORIFIED ROBE 

Everyone has been loving the 2016 Pyjama trend so much that not only is it continuing into 2017, but robes will be joining them in the wardrobe. This year is about the posh robe, the fancier the better! Our chiffon and satin range of kimonos are perfect. They will hug you in the morning, and work as a sultry overcoat in the evening. Who knew Hugh Hefner was so stylish?

KITTEN HEELS 

You might not have seen kitten heels on your feet since the days of Disney Princess dress-up, but they are back. It’s time to dust those kittens and get funky. Just try to avoid gaps in the pavement!

DECONSTRUCTED... EVERYTHING!

Fashion is moving away from perfect tailoring and tidyness, towards a more raw, relaxed and unfinished look. Think chaos at the factory: exposed linings and zippers, raw edges, odd seams and frays. Our bestselling Lyra bra might be a good place to start.  Move over perfectionists, this is the year of imperfectionism.

STATEMENT ACCESSORIES

Big and bold baby, this is not the year for subtlety. Fantastically chunky and quirky designs on the horizon. Just imagine UFO meets 80s meets art school meets bicycle chain. Mismatched or single earrings, arm cuffs, ear cuffs, raw stones…lots to play with. The same goes for lingerie; bold is beautiful - what Bluebella does best. 

CHROME NAILS 

 Shine, shine and more shine. This trend is turning girls across the world into magpies. Lots of scope to experiment with shape and dimensions due to the dazzling mirror finish to create different optical illusions. We’re expecting a Kardashian-esque contouring explosion for nails.

BRALETTES

Although we’ve been championing them for a while, it’s good news for Bluebella fans - bralettes will be a big feature of the 2017 wardrobe. Wear them under or over your shirts, and experiment with different fabrics and designs. Spotted on the Milan Spring/Summer 17 catwalk, these garments can be dressed up for a sophisticated look or dressed down for something a bit more cheeky.

REFLECTIVE FABRIC 

Originally championed by cautious bike cyclists as the safe option, reflective fabrics have been reclaimed by the fashion world and turned into some pretty daring pieces. Opt for reflective details for a sporty chic look or just go all out. Blindingly obvious!

WAIST CINCHERS

The days of the Bardot wasp-waist are returning. Our range of basques will make your figure look breathtaking, without leaving you breathless. Or for a more casual cinched look, why not try one of our sexy suspenders?

No excuses not to look sensational in 2017.
