Bridal Lingerie - Bluebella X 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 are 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 of the best ways 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!

Our Bridal Collection ranges from flirtatious harnesses and sensuous open bras 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.

Nova Ivory


For a wedding, you can’t go wrong with beautiful ivory lingerie – a classic choice for the bride-to-be. Our New In ivory Emerson range is perfect for the traditional bride who wants to be a little bit less conventional underneath the dress... Pair the bra and briefs for an understated yet suggestive look in lace, or up your game with the 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.

If the standard white of a wedding is a bit too much for you, the flirty, playful dusty 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 options of a body, a push up, a balcony, or a soft cup bra, and features also a simple suspender belt 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). 

  


If you’re looking for something to take you from A to B-edroom, the Rose Dust hue also lends itself beautifully to the Phoebe Chemise, a simple bow front chemise with matching tie-side briefs that is just the right mix of cute and suggestive.

There’s nothing wrong with sticking to what you know works, and let’s face it, nobody wants to feel like their lingerie is out of place when they’re having to worry about making those steps down the aisle. The Nova is a bestseller for us and there is no reason why the Bridal collection would be any different! 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 in ivory - something to make you feel a little bit naughty when making those steps towards your life-long partner.

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 Ines range in ivory is not only pretty and delicate, but made with lace and velvet; the collection is decadent in all the right places. The best thing? No one would ever know just how good value it was…

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.

Bluebella's Fashion Week Round Up

This year we are more in love with fashion than ever before.
Here at Bluebella we have always loved the lingerie-as-outerwear look but this year we have found that fashion week has embraced that look too.


From Narciso Rodriguez on it’s catwalk at New York Fashion week (steal the look with the Bluebella Gia Body) to Julian Macdonald introducing beautiful caged lace which our own Cassia Body and Top and Short do so well.



Directional strapping features have also adorned catwalks and after parties alike. A statement piece like the Alanna combines the best of both worlds - the little black dress and beautiful back details.


Long duster coats that float around your figure are also key to this season's statement pieces. A soft kimono will flow perfectly around your body and add a delicate touch to a statement look.



But Fashion week is not all about the catwalk. The FROW has also featured some of our favourite looks.


Alicia Keys rocked fishnet perfectly with a delicately pink blazer and trousers making the perfect feminine statement. Steal the look with our own Jamie T-shirt and pair with your favourite pinks.


Comfy slip dresses have also been show-stealers. What better way to get through a night of catwalks and parties than in a comfy slip dress carefully hugging your body. Wear the look with our Sephy chemise and roll straight into bed after a long night.

Life's A Bluebella Beach...

Your Holiday Wardrobe Sorted...

Heading off on holiday soon? Be a poolside princess this summer by packing your favourite Bluebella pieces and styling up the ultimate sunshine-ready outfit.
Not sure where to start? We challenged some of our favourite fashion bloggers to show us how they work the holiday look with some of our key High Summer pieces. And if you're feeling inspired, head over to our dedicated Beach Collection page where you can grab all the pieces featured, plus more!  

Super stylish babe Nyane Lebajoa  headed to the White Isle and showed  off her enviable curves in a show-  stopping swimsuit, finishing off her  Ibiza spirit with our satin Kimono. It's  super lightweight and makes for the  perfect pool partner... just throw it on  for effortless elegance!

Got a hotel with a view? Step out into the sunshine with one of our gorgeous chiffons, just like Milan-based Lucia Matton did with the Caitlin cami set. Its beautifully light material falls soft against the skin and is the ultimate choice when you don't want to reveal all in a bikini. 

Straight in from L.A is the beautiful Brianna Lynn who shows off her beach babe look with effortless style, opting for the Caitlin cami set in black. Style tip? Wear your bikini underneath and head straight to the pool so you can dip straight in! 

We love how UK fashion blogger Chloe Plumstead is styling up the pink Kimono as a gorgeous cover up to her bikini. Pink and white work so well together as beautiful holiday hues and look extra gorgeous with a sun-kissed glow! 

Finally, there's no beach blog without the ultimate beach babe, Natalia Miru. Shake it up and wear the Angelina as your bikini... it's sublime shape and show-stopping white will make you centre of attention at the pool, no doubt...
