Wedding Wednesday: Bridal Lingerie & Little Lovelies



I remember, back in the day, carefully selecting lingerie for my wedding and honeymoon. It was all of the utmost importance to me. In doing so, what I wore under my gown was perfect and beautiful. In fact, I still have those ivory silk undies with a touch of something blue. It was so much fun to have fresh "everything" for the honeymoon. So my challenge today was to pick some pretties for the modern bride, and a few little lovelies that will make her smile.

If you are or even if she just thinks you are, this might get you out of the doghouse. "Now the iconic Gucci fragrance appears in a limited-edition flacon adorned with 60 glittering diamond-cut crystals. Each stone has been placed by hand, making this a must-have collector’s item."
Sephora


Jo Malone Red Roses Collection
Much better than the overpriced flowers you might get her. Jo Malone London is the "it" girl in fragrance these days, and any girl worth her top notes will recognize the name. From the perfumerie the fragrance is, "A voluptuous blend of seven of the world’s most exquisite roses. With crushed violet leaves and a hint of lemon, it unfolds like a bouquet of freshly cut flowers." I particularly like the diffuser. See the collection at
