Is it just us, or does every season seem like wedding season these days? On top of keeping track of every friend or family member's impending nuptials, you may even find yourself engaged amidst all the marital chaos. If that’s the case, you're probably feeling just as shook as myself and Coveteur's Caroline Dunn when we found ourselves suddenly stepping out of the bridal party shoes, and into the leading role of being a bride—especially in an era of endless choices and a deluge of decisions. First, congratulations, and second, don’t panic—you can do this.
Depending on your outlook, planning a wedding can either be a fun challenge or straight-up stressful, but feeling like your best self on your special day shouldn’t be sacrificed at any stage of the process. While you’re probably in the midst of figuring out what to wear for everything from your bachelorette party to the honeymoon, we’ve hand-selected the intimate essentials you’ll want every step of the way—giving you one (or nine) fewer things to worry about. Shop our favorite silk and satin pieces from Intimissimi’s new bridal collection below.
For The Bachelorette Party
Mannish-Cut Jacket in Silk Satin
Recommended by Emily Greene, Marketing Strategy Director
My fiancée and I are getting married in Portugal next year, so I’m opting for a chill bachelorette in upstate New York next summer. This silky satin top is one of the pieces I’m most looking forward to packing for the long weekend. Perfect for a game night in with the girls or sitting by the firepit with an espresso martini, this top instantly elevates any bride-to-be’s pajama game—without sacrificing style or comfort.
Silk Satin Pajama Pants
Recommended by Emily Greene, Marketing Strategy Director
Is anything more chic than a matching silk set? The answer is (obviously) absolutely not. No matter what your bach has in store, I can guarantee you will not regret having these to slip on after a long day of celebrating or lounging around the morning after while you nurse your hangover.
For The Wedding
Silk Slip with Lace Insert Detail
Recommended by Emily Greene, Marketing Strategy Director
With all of the stress that comes with planning a wedding, worrying about what you’re wearing to bed that night should not be one of them—which is exactly why this lacy silk slip is the ultimate must-have. Striking the perfect balance of sexy and cozy, there’s nothing I’m looking forward to more than slipping this on after three days of celebrations, two outfit changes, and four hours of dancing.
Short Sleeve Silk Shirt with Contrast Trim
Recommended by Emily Greene, Marketing Strategy Director
If short sleeves and shorts are more your vibe, this rosey pink (or powder beige) set is another great option for post-wedding R&R. Treat yourself to a matching silk bralette like this one or even buy a few extra pairs for your bridesmaids—they double as a great ‘getting ready’ outfit, too.
For The Honeymoon
Lace and Silk Top
Recommended by Caroline Dunn, Manager, Sales & Brand Partnerships
My husband and I traveled to the idyllic island of Antigua for our honeymoon with the goal of reaching peak relaxation. Many room service orders later, I spent way more time in PJs than I could have ever predicted–I can attest to the fact that investing in your dream bridal set is worth it. Apologies to all of the maxi dresses that I packed and didn’t end up wearing, it’s all about the silk sets.
Silk Shorts
Recommended by Caroline Dunn, Manager, Sales & Brand Partnerships
These are the comfiest shorts that I own, and I am picky. The honeymoon is as much about comfort as it is about looking cute for your new spouse, and these shorts check both boxes. They're a must with the matching Lace and Silk Top!
For The First Anniversary
Silk Kimono
Recommended by Caroline Dunn, Manager, Sales & Brand Partnerships
I can’t lie about the fact that just one month after the wedding, I'm already in the midst of planning our one-year anniversary trip. In fact, I may have already had the destination and hotel picked out months before the wedding and honeymoon even happened. This 100% silk kimono is going to be the chicest nod to my silky honeymoon looks and is reminiscent of the robes that I gifted to all of my bridesmaids the night before the wedding. I absolutely love anything that makes me feel like a bride while still fitting into my wardrobe for the years to come.
