The only thing more memorable than your wedding day is your wedding night! Make it beautiful, make it sexy, make it feminine and luxurious by wearing dreamy vintage bridal lingerie. In this guide to vintage bridal lingerie, you’ll discover a variety of styles, individual pieces, and the perfect pairings so that you can feel like your best self in front of your forever person.
To begin, we want to encourage you to get as creative as you want. If you’re not an “all-white lingerie” kind of gal–go for color! If a corset and garter belt isn’t your shtick, get yourself the sassiest little babydoll ensemble. The most important part of wearing stunning vintage bridal lingerie is that you feel confident, beautiful, and sexy. This will make the outfit shine and ensure that you have a night to remember.
Sexy Corset Contouring
The corset is about as vintage as it gets. It’s also guaranteed to make your lover’s jaw drop. A vintage white corset styled specifically in the ’50s is a great way to cinch the waist, contour your curves, and lift the bust for a sumptuous and tempting overall look.
The style options available for corsets are seemingly endless. A few vintage favs include an eyelet secured vintage corset that laces up in the back and can be tightened. Not only does it let you gauge how contoured you’d like to make your shape, something about the layers of silk straps makes it ultra-elegant and seductive.
A bralette bustier lifts the bust to create cleavage and shows off the torso. While a waist corset does the opposite by cinching the torso and doesn’t include the bra aspect. A princess line corset is regal and romantic, flattens the tummy, and is suitable and practical enough to wear under your wedding gown.
A classic way to accessorize your vintage corset ensemble is with garter belts holding up thigh-high stockings, layered pearls, and your wedding heels.
Beautiful Babydoll
A little touch of innocence, a little touch of seduction, and a whole lot of glam are how you achieve the beautiful vintage babydoll bridal lingerie look. Babydoll bridal lingerie can be achieved with a few moving parts or a single piece. Let’s start with the layers, the first being the most fabulous robes inspired by ‘70s lingerie. Make it silk or make it lace, the robe is just the icing on the sweet cake that is the main attraction.
Babydoll nighties are sweet and sassy, often flowing away from the body with a fitted bust and falling super short, usually to the upper thigh. Pair this mini nightgown with matching panties or cheekies. Since this is your wedding night we’re talking about, take your babydoll lingerie look to the next level with a sheer nighty for a little peek-a-boo action. White and off-whites are a classic but soft pinks and blues are romantic, while reds, blacks, and purples give added allure.
Lace, ribbons, and frill give a touch of elegance and innocent sensuality to a babydoll ensemble.
Classic White Vintage Bridal Lingerie
The go-to vintage bridal lingerie will include an element of everything described in this guide. A little lace, a little contour, a touch of innocence, and a whole lot of sex appeal, also–it’s all white. Something about white against the skin is incredibly feminine and classy.
Classic white vintage bridal lingerie isn’t always traditional and can be very erotic and sensual. This Classic white vintage bridal lingerie set from Etsy includes lace and frill and is anchored by a series of crisscross straps that makes this garter set romantic and naughty. Honestly, as long as it fits well, it’s hard to go wrong with any vintage bridal lingerie that’s in all white.
Lovely Lace
There’s nothing quite as romantic as lace. Lace can be extremely elegant but equally sexy. Incorporate as much or as little lace as you’d like, but we wonder, is it really vintage bridal lingerie without at least a touch of lace?
A pristine white lace camisole with matching panties is an ultra-feminine showstopping ensemble. For a more erotic feel, reach for a lace bodystocking. Yes, your partner would absolutely lose their mind, but you’ll also feel incredibly sexy and the center of attention when wearing lace head to toe.
Lace thong bodysuits are lovely for layering with a corset, garter belt, or worn underneath a sheer babydoll robe. Loose-fitting lace pieces like a tank and short combo are as comfy as they are romantic and admittedly easier to remove. And we can’t talk about lace without mentioning the French Maid Vintage Lingerie ensemble that is topped with this signature detail. This one isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but it’s sure to get his pulse racing.
Bougie Brassier
Finally, a bra that you actually want to wear in the bedroom! Vintage bridal lingerie offers a sexy and flattering array of bras and bustiers. A full-coverage, lace bra is traditional, supportive, and stylish. These are often offered in sets with panties. For a little more x-factor, there is the quarter cup bra or a peek-a-boo nippleless bra. For a playful burlesque look, an open cup bra with nipple tassels is a great way to shake things up. Find any of these pieces in the sexiest material of all–silk, and you’re golden.
A plunge V-neck bra is a great teaser. While covering the most precious parts, you’re still able to lift and squeeze the bust creating a desirable cleavage line.
Don’t Be Shy!
You may have worn a white dress, but all bets are off when it comes to choosing the perfect vintage bridal lingerie. Go as reserved and innocent or as daring and risque as you’d like. Or start with layers and peel them away as the night progresses.
This will be a night you’ll remember and cherish for the rest of your life and you get to be as sexy and stylish as your heart desires. With the ideas from the vintage bridal lingerie style guide, you can’t go wrong.
