Bride to Be Gifts: The Guide from Hen Do to Honeymoon
Wedding season is all about celebrating love, laughter and new beginnings – and it all starts long before the vows. From the hen do to the honeymoon, there are so many moments along the way that deserve to feel just as special as the big day itself. Whether you’re buying for the bride or you are the bride, Boux Avenue’s bride-to-be gifts are designed to add that little something extra to every stage. This isn’t just a gift guide – it’s your step-by-step guide to feeling fabulous, thoughtful and totally unforgettable.
The Hen Party: Girls’ Matching Pyjamas
First stop? The hen party. A fun-filled excuse to round up the girls and start the celebrations in style. Coordinating pyjamas are the ultimate hen do essential – whether you’re off on a weekend away or planning a cosy night in with face masks. If the bride is planning to post those pre-wedding snaps, matching satin camis are both comfy and camera-ready. Don’t forget the little extras - think cute bridal accessories like silky eye masks, travel-size perfumes or calming lip balms, all perfect for popping into gift bags or handing out as gifts.
The Night Before: Relaxed Bridal Nightwear
The night before the wedding calls for calm. It’s a moment of quiet, reflection, and maybe a few happy tears – and what you wear should feel just as special. We recommend our Amelia Satin Cami Set, with delicate lace, soft satin and a relaxed fit make this a dream for winding down before the big day. Satin isn’t the only option, soft-touch fabrics and breathable fits are key when it comes to bridal nightwear, dressing gowns, and helping you wind down in comfort.
The Big Day: Functional Bridal Lingerie with a Romantic Touch
Underpinning the dream dress? It starts with the right lingerie. Look for supportive yet seamless solutions that work with her dress – whether it's strapless, backless or sheer. Think balconette bras, seamless thongs and versatile multiway bras that provide shape without distracting from the look. And just because it’s practical doesn’t mean it can’t be pretty.
Wedding Day Traditions: Something Old, Something Borrowed, Something Blue
Adding a little tradition to the big day? The classic rhyme still holds plenty of charm - and meaning. Each part symbolises something special, and it’s easy to build thoughtful gifts around them. Something Old: represents continuity with the bride’s past. It’s often a sentimental piece from a family member, like a cherished piece of jewellery or a vintage hair clip with history woven into every detail. Something New: symbolises the couple’s future together. A new lingerie set or pyjamas she can treasure long after the wedding is a lovely way to mark the beginning of this exciting new chapter. Something Borrowed: is usually from a happily married woman and is said to bring good luck and happiness to the bride’s own marriage. Think meaningful accessories passed down with love—like a delicate necklace or a silk robe for getting ready in. Something Blue: stands for purity, fidelity, and love. Boux Avenue’s Eyelash Lace Bridal Garter finishes the rhyme beautifully, complete with a sweet blue bow for a modern twist on tradition.
The Honeymoon: Captivating Sexy Lingerie
Just because the vows have been said and the dancefloor’s been cleared doesn’t mean the gifting ends there. The honeymoon is the perfect excuse to indulge in something just for her – something confident, sexy and totally unforgettable. Whether she's planning long, lazy lie-ins or romantic evenings abroad, honeymoon lingerie should feel extra special. Look for lingerie that plays with sheer fabrics, pretty lace and flattering silhouettes – pieces that make her feel beautiful from the inside out. Light blue tones, like the Annabella Sheer Balconette Bra and Matching Bottoms, are a dreamy continuation of the 'something blue' theme. For something a little bolder, the Cassia Lace Bodysuit brings a touch of drama with its intricate detailing and seductive fit. And for brides heading off on a sun-soaked honeymoon, stylish swimwear is a must. White bikinis always feel fresh and celebratory – perfect for poolside lounging or beachside snaps. The Ibiza Crinkle Plunge Bikini has a modern, flattering shape that suits sun-drenched getaways, while the Marguerite Balconette Bikini adds sculpting support with a textured finish that feels just a little bit luxe. Whether it’s sexy lingerie or statement swimwear, these are the pieces that turn the honeymoon into a celebration all of its own.
