It’s been a little while since I popped in with a wedding planning update, mostly because, well, there isn’t one! Since moving the wedding to next April and designing our DIY save-the-dates last spring, we’ve taken a pause with the knowledge that most of the big pieces are already in place. We have a venue, a photographer, and a stationer; a designer, a florist, and a day-of coordinator; a DJ, an officiant, and a rentals company. Aside from pinning down a caterer, the only remaining elements are the little ones, the touches that make a wedding truly unique.
Some of those little things I’m choosing to leave by the wayside—this is my second wedding, after all, and I learned a lot from the first one about what is and isn’t important to me. (We’re not having a bridal party, for example, and we’re opting for a buffet over fancy table service.) Other details, though, I’m making sure we do include because I didn’t have them the first time around and regretted it! At the top of that list is a selection of pretty, silky bridal lingerie to extend that special feeling of being a bride for as long as possible: while getting ready, after the night winds down, and on the honeymoon, too! And in my quest to find wedding day intimates that don’t have the word “bride” bedazzled across the butt, Gold Hawk stands out for its luxury silks, sultry cuts, and minimalist yet romantic styling.
Gold Hawk is an LA-based company founded in 2001 by fashion designer Michele Dahan. For the past 15 years she’s been channeling her French heritage into the sumptuous silks, flattering hues, and delicate lace touches that set Gold Hawk’s lingerie apart from the pack. From sultry slips and camisoles to cheeky tap pants, the entire bridal collection has sophistication written all over it. And unlike the wedding gown, this definitely is bridal apparel you can wear after the festivities are over! Layer a nude kimono over a tee and jeans to add a romantic touch to your everyday basics—and to relive memories of your most special day, all year ’round!
