Everyone knows lingerie is a big part of the honeymoon. Everyone also knows there’s a fine line between classy and not so classy negliges.

Whether you want a feisty or sophisticated collection for the steamy nights ahead, make sure you A. feel sexy in what you’re wearing and B. your choices are a reflection of you. If you usually have more of an edge to you, your new hubby will be a little taken aback if you show up with pink frills and lace.

Here are some tasteful ways to be naughty and nice.

If you’re as addicted to Anthropologie’s gorgeous clothes and accessories as I am, brace yourselves for the gossip I’m about to spill to you. The ever feminine, chic and fashion-forward store is apparently launching a bridal line that will knock our spring socks off! Yes, that’s right, a line full of heirloom wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, bridal accessories and gifts!

The unnamed bridal concept will launch as a Web site later this spring. Brides-to-be can make appointments at their local Anthropologie stores for fittings before the line makes an appearance in stores. Wedding gowns will allegedly retail for $750 to $5,000 and bridesmaid dresses will start at $200.  Ah, love.

The Limited, known for its budget-friendly and classic clothing, has also recently announced its bridal line, which will launch on the third of June. FYI, the dresses are not only ridiculously affordable, but elegant as well.

The line is small with only two gowns and two bridesmaid dresses, but take a peek at this beauty. Besides its gorgeous tiers, the best part is that it’s under $300! Stunning and cost-friendly? Yes please!

Just as brides are choosing to go untraditional in their wedding day attire, grooms are rethinking the black tux. Striped ties, navy blue sport coats and green Converses are taking the place of the often stiff and formal clothing worn by husbands to-be.

The mixing of patterns and colors worn by the groom and his groomsmen brings an added sense of style to the big day. Allowing him the opportunity to show his personal style, whether it’s through striped orange ties or checkered Vans, ensures his own comfort at the event. An added bonus: the pictures are to die for!

Check out what these guys put together!

Wedding trends come and go. Cupcakes have replaced three-tiered cakes, flowered hairpieces are being worn instead of long veils and colors like teal and cherry red are being chosen as the color palette to accent a bride’s big day. Who knows how long these things will stick around, but one new trend, in my opinion, is here to stay.

I am completely in love with different hued dresses for bridesmaids.

Whether the dresses are vibrant shades of orange or purple or subdued tones of blue or brown, they can better symbolize a bridesmaid’s style. Everyone is a different shape and size. A strapless dress may not look good on a bustier friend, and a halter doesn’t flatter broad shoulders. Allowing your friend to pick out her own dress ensures she will be comfortable and confident, which is especially important if she’s shelling out her own dough for it.

I could go on about all the benefits of having each bridesmaid wear a different color and/or style of dress, but I’ll stick to two more. First, the pictures will be absolutely amazing. With all the different colors and styles, you can be sure none of your photos will be a bore to look at. Second, allowing bridesmaids to shop for their own dresses takes pressure off the bride to choose the correct style and color that best accentuates a friend’s features.

Take a look at what these bridal parties put together! Absolutely gorgeous!
