Bloomin’ Sexy

Chafing, chub-rub, call it what you will but you won’t want to be thinking about it on your wedding day. The genius design of these shorts (including suspenders!) ensures any compromise for comfort over come-hither is mitigated by luxurious stretch-satin and German lace. £66

Embrace tradition with something blue from The Wedding Garter Company

The beautiful ivory lace motif of this unusual design is backed in baby-blue elastic velvet, and all garters are handmade to order in the company’s workshop just outside Bath. Make it personal by adding initial charms or invest in a ‘toss garter’ in a choice of designs. From £39.80

Keep it simple with a matching set from Pour Moi

The three-section cup on this floral lace Amour bra gives va-va-voom where it’s needed, and the matching briefs complete the look. Best of all is the range of sizes (up to an H cup) and colour choice – we love the ivory but could be very tempted by a bright colour like coral with a sapphire lace overlay. £26

Classic allure in La Perla

La Perla are simply the dernier cri in seductive silk pieces and their powder pink Maison embroidered slip oozes timeless, sensual appeal – that V at the front is deeper than it may look: think old school glamour; Taylor, Monroe, Loren. Made in Italy and hand-embroidered using ancient Florentine techniques. £515
