Sexy Wedding Night Lingerie: How much is too much?

filed under: Accessories, Beauty

Every bride spends hours pouring over websites and magazines—all in search of the perfect dress for their big day. But what about the big night?


We all know how expensive wedding dresses can be! Just think of Carrie Bradshaw's Vivienne Westwood original from "Sex and the City" which retails for $25,000! You heard us. So, with that in mind, how much are you really willing to spend on your wedding night lingerie?


We found a couple of couture pieces that would surely make him melt—check ‘em out:


This lovely silk and lace set from Carnie Gilson retails for a total of $1,195 and will definitely help create a romantic mood for your evening. ($770 for the top, $425 for the lace shorts, available at: Net-a-Porter.com).

For most brides that might be a little steep, but what about this silky chemise from La Perla, that sells for $325? We find it irresistible for the girlie pink color and deep V-neck -- and we're pretty sure he won't be able to keep his hands off you either. (Net-a-Porter.com)

Or at the end of the day, would you rather slip into something like this soft t-shirt style dress that only costs $34, from Maxey. It's super short, so it will still be sexy, and it sets a more fun and playful atmosphere for your wedding night. (Bluefly.com).

So now it's your turn, how much are you shelling out for the big night? Tell us below!

What's Hot Now: The Wedding Workout You Wear

filed under: Accessories, Fashion
Shatobu

So, I know these look just like any other control-top, tummy-tucking suit (and they'll do that), but the ShāToBu Shaper is actually more of an excuse to skip the gym.

If you hate running "laps" on a treadmill (like me) then you'll either have to diet (ugh) or find some other way to burn calories. Well, here it is: The built-in resistance bands---yep, the very same ones you'd find in the gym---make your legs and butt work just a bit harder when you're walking home from work or heading to a party.

Gym-goer or not...would you try them?

Hot Bridal Accessory: Sheer Tights?

filed under: Accessories
Tights

I spotted these shimmery tights on the Spring 2010 Jenny Packham runway.

You see, I've been anti-sheer and all-about-opaque when it comes to my leg wear for years, but there's something about these opal-colored leggings that caught my eye.

I like how they make shorter dresses feel a bit fancier. What do you think?

Black Tie Affair: Not-So-White Wedding Gowns

filed under: Accessories, Dresses, Fashion
Hl
Believe it or not, black was the hottest gown hue to hit the bridal runways this season. So I thought, in an homage to Halloween, I'd highlight some of the boldest wedding gowns of the bunch.

Want jewelry to pair with your goth gown? I love this necklace by Anna Ruth Henriques. The spider charm is super subtle so it's wearable the rest of the year too!

What do you think: Wedding worthy, or more appropriate for a costume ball?

Bedside Manner: La Perla Bridal Lingerie

filed under: Accessories, Fashion
Perla


I just got word that La Perla is launching their first ever bridal collection (around november), and it is to die for. The pictures really speak for themselves — they're gorgeous, right?

My favorite piece: the delicate lace slip (the one on the right). I love the way it looks with those ribbon-detailed shoes (touches of black are hot on the bridal scene right now). I know, it's a splurge, but looking good in your lingerie is — okay, here's a total cliché — priceless.
