The Bridal Edit 2019

The Bridal edit 2019

Th

Spring is in the air! 

And so our heart melts for dreamy Pastels and delicate silks. 

For 2019, Blush & Pastels are once again stealing the show. Although we love an ivory lace on any day (wedding or not) we are loving that our brides are mixing it up a little.

We can't think of anything better than lingerie shopping to take your mind off the stress of planning a wedding. Yes, ladies, this is the fun part 💖

To build the perfect bridal trousseau here are a few Tallulah tips, inspired by 15 years of fittings!

Tip n.1 Don't skip the foundations.

Let me explain. What we call foundations here at Tallulah's is the magic that will make your dress fall on your body like it was sown on! 

Bridal gowns can be tricky, even if custom made, the fabrics are delicate and the details to make it so special will need the proper lingerie to do her justice. It is always best to bring in a picture of your dress at your fitting so we can help you with your foundations.

Think low cut basques for open back gowns, smoothing high knickers for barely there satin slip dresses, or simply a smooth strapless bra for your bustier look. Foundations are essential. 

There is a wide selection of basques available which can be altered to be just perfect for your dress.

Tip n.2 Timing is key

Try not to leave your lingerie fitting to the last minute. 

First off, it goes hand in hand with your dress fitting for the foundations. 

Make sure you have your lingerie in mind when selecting a style. 

We can make magic happen but always better to know what we are working with.

To create the perfect trousseau items may need to be ordered or even made with our bespoke service. We will make sure to get in the right fit or size for you, so it is recommended to book your appointment early on.

Your lingerie will be an important part of your wedding as it is the only thing from the very start to way after the big day and honeymoon that you will wear day after day.

Tip n.3 Your 'getting ready' outfit

We've found over the years that many of our brides will have pictures taken while getting ready in the morning. Those are beautiful memories to catch on film with the bridesmaids, friends & family around you, prepping for the big event. 

Even if it is just a few snaps on your iPhone, you will want to cherish that memory forever. 

💖

To make these moments perfect, we can help you create a beautiful 'morning of the wedding' look.  Whether you want to be a showstopper in a beautiful antique kimono or prefer the ultimate understated glamour of a delicate silk & lace slip with matching robe, we pretty much have it all!

Tip n.4 Start with your colour palette

As we've said before, the bridal trend is confirming to be more than just ivory! We recommend working from a colour palette rather than just an outfit you had in mind. This way you might stumble upon a few key pieces you would never have thought of trying, and the results are always stunning! 

Pastels are hot hot hot and we've got lots to offer from decadent blush, almond green to candy pink and tiffany blues. But maybe darker tones are more your vibe? Think deep navy & magenta silk with delicate black lace for your wedding night... 

Tip n.5 Don't forget your pearls!

We cannot say it enough, the Pearl thong is a must.

One of our best selling items here at the boudoir, the pearl thong ticks all the boxes.

It is delicate & pretty in its ivory (or black) lace, has the cheeky factor of massaging pearls AND will complement any lingerie outfit to perfection!

Surprise your future husband with this cheeky item while having dinner on your Honeymoon. 

A simple whisper under the table that you are wearing your pearls & just let them do the rest...

we guarantee you will not be having the dessert trolley in the restaurant, instead YOU will be the dessert!

Tip n.6 Be prepared

Make sure you stock up on a few things. Being prepared means less stress on the big day. 

Always get extra pairs of hosiery just in case and fresh knickers for the rest of the evening.

Wedding dresses are not always the most comfortable to dance the night away in. If that's the case, maybe ask us about different lingerie options for the second part of the event. 

Yes, just as dress change is now a thing, lingerie change can sometimes be essential to have a good time at your reception!

Tip n.7 Have fun!

Remember, this is the fun part! So don't hesitate to try different looks, we are here to help you do just that and are more than happy to show you all the beautiful things we have in the Boudoir. 

We'll make sure to give you the full Tallulah Experience 😉

Building your lingerie trousseau doesn't need to be only smooth and shaping. Think about all the dreamy lingerie you will get to wear on your honeymoon.

And how oh so sexy it will be for your partner to see you in your cheeky belt set or glamorous silk gown you've picked out just for the two of you.

Why not finish off your look with the perfect scent? Handmade French Perfume, yes please!

We love love love bridal fittings & take the bridal trousseau very seriously 💘 so we hope those little tips will help you make your day extra special.

When booking your appointment, we recommend making sure you have time to enjoy and not coming in with a crowd so we can fully focus on you & your lingerie wishes. 

Clear your schedule, book an appointment on a calm, stress free day 

and let Tallulah take care of the rest!

Dear Lingerie lovers...

To make our Boudoir wishes come true 💖 just email  stella@telegraph.co.uk a few words to say why you think Tallulah should be on the list.

As always a big thank you for your support over the years, you are magic 💋

Lots of lingerie love

Supporting each other... 

Wow, what a week it has been. Thank you all so much for your love and support in helping celebrate our 15th Anniversary last weekend. Your messages of congratulations and kindness were totally over-whelming and the turn out of all you wonderful fellow lingerie addicts blew us away! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Without you Tallulah would not have her boudoir and no lingerie love to share with you (sorry the drama is turned up a little today- but I really do mean it!)

One of the very exciting things I found out last week was that our Amy is an Ambassador for the new charity we are supporting, 'The Red Box Project' - We stumbled across this wonderful charity whilst scrolling through Instagram and sent them a message and the hook up was done and we are now a drop off point for your donations to be passed on to the local schools in our area.

The Red Box Project is an initiative that quietly ensures that no young woman misses out on her education because of her period. They are 100% community driven and run by individuals across the UK. We place constantly stocked Red Boxes of sanitary wear in schools for young women to access, aiming to reach those who may not be able to afford these vital items.

Can you guess what my next question will be?....Yep, you got it, PLEASE help us support this initiative by donating sanitary projects so we can pass them on and ensure no young woman misses school because she has her period.

Can you imagine if everyone of our fellow lingerie loves bought in with them on their next visit to the boudoir a pack to donate how much 

Another thing very exciting happened this week....whilst watching the new Netflix show 'The Haunting of Hill House' (so rock 'n' roll) the rather beautiful mother was wearing our rose quartz Christine gown. Here is a dodgy iPhone picture...

Not the best shot, sorry, below is a better photo although in our blush/mink colour way. It doesn't matter what colour in these gowns, they are always absolutely beautiful, for sure one of those pieces that when you own 1 colour, you want more (and more!). The silk is exquisite, and actually the designer Christine is celebrating 45 years of creating beautiful silks, we are lucky enough to be her only European stockist and love having the opportunity to be on her journey with her. These are literally my favourite gowns, along with lots of you I know. Happy Anniversary Christine x

I would love to introduce to you our new lingerie love in the boudoir, Natalie- you may of seen her last week but we were so busy neither Marine or I had the chance, so when you are next in or keep an eye out on the stories on Instagram  where I'm sure she will be popping up. She is utterly obsessed with lingerie and of course has me as a girlboss so will totally know her stuff inside out.

So please do spread not only the Tallulah Lingerie Love but the Red Box Project Love and bring in any donations, all will be greatly appreciated.

And thank you again for your love and support over the last 15 years, heres to many more.

Love T xx

Stepping into fall in Silk & Velvet 💕

With Autumn around the corner, The Boudoir has been graced with beautiful new collections.

And as the weather cools down and leaves turn red, we feel in need of luxurious fabrics and cosy robes.

Nothing better to treat yourself than pretty silks and lush velvet robes✨

Marjolaine's fall line is a showstopper. With a colour palette of deep teal, copper, lipstick red, mascara black and champagne lace, these silks are utterly gorgeous!

 The perfect balance between naughty and nice this slip has the aura of old school Janet Reger with a sexy laced low back, the romantic ruffled hem and the silk covered buttons. 
It always lies in the details with Marjolaine's designs.

Teal silk satin and terracotta lace, match made in heaven!

The new Egerie is a masterpiece, from the Leavers lace to the intricate needlework.

And how lovely would it be with the new wish!💜💜

Black silk and champagne lace Caprice.

This timeless piece has leavers lace features and amazing fit with a dramatic thigh-high slit on the side.

It comes also in the shorter length, and both styles have matching dressing gowns for the ultimate glamour look 💖

A winter staple in our wardrobe is the silk velvet dressing gown from Vivis.

It is warm, luxurious and unbelievably soft. This collection's beautiful colour palette offers steel grey, champagne and raspberry pink.

 And saving the best for last, as usual, meet this showstopper 💖
When one can't chose between  satin & velvet, (I mean we all need both in our lives, let's be honest)
Then comes in Marjolaine's heart stopping reversible dressing gown.
Yes, reversible, meaning two robes in one!
The elegant black velvet side is perfect to wear for a night out on the town, while the colourful silk print will look stunning on a cold winter morning.

Still unwrapping new collections as we speak, so plenty more to try in the Boudoir if you fancy a treat!

Lot's of lingerie love xx  T 💜
