Spotlight on Bridal Lingerie: The Alternative Bride

Tradition isn’t for everyone. While pure white or variations on white are a common choice for modern brides, there’s been a rise in black wedding dresses over the last several years. And if the bride is wearing black, of course, she needs black lingerie to go with it. Many people equate black lingerie with everyday wear or assume it lacks the elegance to be bridal, but we disagree! Here are several of our favorite bridal sets in black:

Agent Provocateur - Rozlyn: decked with delicate lace, sheer mesh, and 24k gold hardware, the Rozlyn set is everything unforgettable. Agent Provocateur’s rich history of luxury and intrigue is clear through the intentional design and flawless construction of this set. The low balconette cut provides a beautiful lift to shape without padding.

Bluebella - Marseilles: Classic French style inspired the delicate and feminine embroidery on the Marseilles set from Bluebella. As affordable as it is luxurious, this set is ideal for a bride trying to minimize cost without sacrificing quality. 

Fleur du Mal - Lily: Iconic New York brand Fleur du Mal is always a top choice for us. The Lily demi plunge bra is a true lingerie unicorn: universally flattering on all breast shapes. Silk, sheer mesh, and gorgeous embroidery make the Lily a luxury you won’t want to miss. Heads up, Fleur du Mal does run small, so we recommend sizing up a cup size!

Atelier Amour - Cosmic Dream: Dream wedding, dream lingerie. Iconic and edgy, the French fashion brand just released this stunning new collection. With gold and black embroidery on a sand-colored mesh fabric, this collection is sure to impress and remain a favorite for years to come. And to make it better: with a range of bra and panty cuts and even a bodysuit, there’s room to mix and match pieces to cater directly to your body type and style preference.

When it comes to lingerie, it’s about more than just looking fabulous—it's about feeling confident, empowered, and comfortable in your own skin. Whether you’re revamping your collection or building it from scratch, curating the perfect selection of must-have pieces can elevate both your wardrobe and your mindset. 

 

When it comes to style, self-expression doesn’t stop at what meets the eye. Lingerie, often hidden during the day and revealed only to you or those closest to you, is a powerful way to express your individuality. At Chérie Amour, every detail in our designs celebrates you—your body, your confidence, and your unique story.

White lace lingerie adds a touch of elegance to any season, and it's especially beautiful during the winter months. The soft, delicate lace and little details like gold embroidery make these pieces feel extra special. Whether you're treating yourself or looking for something to wear under your favorite sweater, these pieces will make you feel glamorous.

 

Lingerie Care

Lingerie can be a tricky thing to care for, especially when dealing with fine craftsmanship, luxurious bras, or high-quality materials that can’t wash with other garments. 

Do’s:

  • When in doubt, hand wash with warm, not hot, water.
  • Dry naturally - hang up gently to avoid wrinkles.
  • Use a small amount of Soak Wash soap and gently massage your lingerie. No rinse necessary (Soak samples included with every online purchase). Click the link to view our Soak Wash products available for purchase.
  • Use a reusable laundry bag to keep your undergarments separate from other dirty garments. Click the link to view laundry bags available for purchase. 
  • For loungewear, lay flat or hang gently to dry. 
  • For loungewear, machine wash on warm, gentle settings. Hand wash advised. 
  • For 100% silk products, dry clean, cold wash, and ironing ok. Handwashing may change the luster of silk. 

Dont's:

  • Wash your lingerie in a washing machine. This can damage the materials, colors, embroideries, or cause harmful rips.
  • Tumble dry. Lingerie should always dry naturally and be hung up carefully away from other garments. 
  • Iron. 
  • Dry clean. 
  • Bleach.
