The checklist for your wedding can seem unending, but once you’ve sorted out the important things (namely, the wedding dress) picking out the rest really can be fun. Start small with some bridal pajamas that make getting ready on the big day feel even more special—and as a bonus, it’ll be one less thing you have to think about buying for your honeymoon wardrobe.
As anyone who has ever gotten married or been a bridesmaid will tell you, there’s a lot of waiting around on the actual wedding day, and it’s made infinitely better when done in comfy loungewear. So whether you’re shopping for yourself or planning to treat your entire bridal party to a pajama set, it’s worth spending a little time hunting down the perfect pairing. Or, if you’re in a time crunch, you could simply shop our edit.
Vogue’s Guide to the Best Bridal Pajamas, Dresses, and Robes:
One thing to keep in mind: whatever sleepwear you choose, opt for pieces you can slip on or off without compromising your hair and makeup. A short set that’s loose and breathable is equal parts practical and elegant—particularly if you pick a PJ set in silk. (For those looking for something with a little more personality, we found a feather-accented pant set sure to delight.) Prefer a nightgown? Long or short, you can’t go wrong with a slip dress. And as for a bridal robe, the very best ones feature dainty lace trim and sloping kimono-style sleeves. You’ll want to swan about in one all day—but you have a wedding dress to get to, so enjoy the ease while you can.
Without further ado, scroll to shop 18 of the best bridal pajamas, slips, and robes currently on the market.
Pretty Pajamas
Ensure your bridal pajamas stand out from all the others in your collection by prioritizing special details. Lace gives a short-sleeve set an utterly romantic feel, while a feather trim offers a fanciful touch to long-sleeve and pants coordinates. If sleek simplicity is your bliss, you can’t go wrong with Lunya’s washable silk set (it’s a best-seller); though for something airier you can bring on your beach honeymoon, Lake’s ruffle cotton cami set is a breathable option.
Easy Dresses
Luxe white slips and nighties abound, but practically speaking, a simpler design will serve you best on the big day. That doesn’t mean disregarding luxury altogether: Intimissimi’s delicately lace-trimmed silk slip is cut on the bias for the perfect body-skimming silhouette, while Olivia Von Halle’s low-back midi slip exudes 90s minimalism. Meanwhile, the two-tone floral Chantilly on Carine Gilson’s dress sets it apart from other bridal PJs with some vintage-inspired charm.
Romantic Robes
Whether you choose to layer your bridal robe over your pajama set or simply toss one over your lingerie in the lead-up to stepping into your wedding dress, this is the ultimate getting-ready piece. (If you have bridesmaids, they also make a sweet gift for your bridal party. No matching monograms required—although Fleur du Mal’s design does come with the word “Bride” etched onto the back in delicate pearls.) Classic silhouettes with interesting accents will forever look chic in your wedding photos, be it lace-trimmed sleeves, frilly organic cotton, or embroidered silk. For an affordable option, Eberjey’s lace mini robe is a great choice—but if you’re going for drama, a longer style like these from Lunya and Petite Plume are made to impress.
