Mrs. Perfume's Picture
Mrs. Perfume, DC Age and Occupation: 36, Consultant (and Part-Time Professor) Fiance's Age and Occupation: 41, Consultant Engagement Date: May 13, 2008 Wedding Date: May, 2009 Venue: The Homestead, Hot Springs, Virginia About Me: I'd like to think that I'm a modern day Little Edie Beale. Only not as..."talented". More realistically, I'm a foodie who can't bake; a dancer and dilettente; an art collector with a penchant for the whimsical and subversive. I live in the city and adore the country, but not much in between. I like smart design, great craftmanship and good value. Most of all, I love the new vintage aesthetic: classic, sweet, delicate, bespoke. If I had to do it all over again, I'd go for a culinary arts degree rather than a PhD; but wouldn't trade Mr. P for the world.
About Mrs. Perfume

When I visited my mom on Sunday, she gave me a gift that one of her friends had left for me. It was some lingerie. And it came just in time. (BTW, I didn’t know Victoria’s Secret sells Betsy Johnson.)

I had on my mental checklist to purchase a little something for our wedding night, but it was waaaay low on the priority list.

So, now I don’t have to! It’s white, bridal-y, simple, and fits! I love when unexpected things work out just right!

What does your wedding night lingerie look like?

In some places, it is tradition for the mother of the bride to give her daughter her wedding night attire (accompanied with, in the olden days, a sex talk). I have seen some very classy peignoir sets my married friends have received from their mothers (and, in one case, a MIL!).

That is adorable! I have no idea what I’m wearing on the wedding night. Not to sound crass, but I think my fiance just might be excited to see me get out of my dress.

I bought a ton of stuff from FOH. Victoria’s Secret just doesn’t seem to sell anything that fits a girl my size, but FOH had lots, and in cute colors (on sale!). I got a white satin kimono that I figure can be my “bridal” look, but it’ll be a new surprise every night with what’s underneath!

My just right - my MOH gave me her slip and veil from her wedding. I was in love with both of them 3 years ago, and now am so proud to get to wear them for mine. Wonderful the slip was a little small on her, but perfect for me!

@ All, thanks, ladies! Hope you find your little something too!

@agrosses: Oooh, peignoirs are such a wonderful throw-back. Very vintage!!

@lethie: It really is!!

@phruphru: Hubbahubba!! ;)

@MightySapphire: So you’re not in the flat-chested twelve-year-old-boy physique camp like me?
Your plan sounds hot!

@pvaulter718: Oh, I love that!! Good for you!

is it just me, or would having your mom buy you lingerie be awkward?

I really like that - just what I’m looking for! Although it’s linked to Zappos, not VS :( Although I dearly love Zappos, I have several VS gift cards I need to use to fund the fanciness!

That is lovely! I would go snag one myself, if VS made lingerie like that above a C cup. :(

That’s so cute! I haven’t picked out my wedding night lingerie yet, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I will be going with black rather than white. I know that’s not very bridally, but it’s my FI’s favorite color (aka I get a measurably bigger response when I wear black lingerie than white)…

There’s a company called Fantasy Lingerie that has an amazing line of bridal lingerie, including a very pretty pearl garter belt. Take a look:

And for plus size bridal:

@tuliplove: Zappos had the best non-sexy image that I could download from work! Mine was purchased at VS! Go, go! They have them there!

@bruyere: I wish I had your problem. ;)

@JennyBryde: Hottttt.

@Suzy: Nice!!
