Agent Provocateur

This pink-and-black boudoir is a must-see when picking out undergarments for the wedding day or honeymoon. Frilly corsets are the specialty (from $250), but they also carry darling panties with satin ties at the waist, as well as tons of matching sets.

Azaleas

This neighborhood store is a treasure trove of all things white and frilly—from thongs and lace thigh-highs to bustiers—which run up to size 38D. They also offer sweet camisole sets for the honeymoon (from $30).

Bra Smyth

This Upper East Side shop and the newly opened Upper West Side location stock their racks with mostly French labels and high-end companies such as Le Mystère (from $60). The friendly staff helps brides make sense of cumbersome corsets and is known for helping women find their perfect bra fit.

Eres

This intimate Parisian boutique offers the Flavie ($215), a body-shaping brief with corset detailing, as well as sheer bodysuits with built-in thongs (from $280). Brides going the simpler route will love the bras, most of which come in whisper-weight, ultraromantic cuts and fabrics (from $190).

Journelle

This Flatiron boutique doesn’t just sell high-end lingerie; it "curates" intimate apparel with pieces from lines like Elle Macpherson, Chantelle, and Simone Perele. The gracious staff will kindly offer assistance in the oversize dressing rooms (large enough to fit a gown).

Kiki de Montparnasse

Kiki de Montparnasse has something for every bride—from the mild to the wild. From lacy panties to toys, this luxury intimates-and-bath company can outfit wedding nights, the honeymoon, and any day thereafter. The best seller: trademark tuxedo boy shorts ($125).

Laina Jane

This friendly boutique attracts women looking for basic bras, as well as those who want sexy, glamorous things to wear under—or as—party clothes. The store offers a seamless corset (from $39) that’s an inexpensive option for brides whose dresses don’t require whale boning.

La Perla

Known for their sexy, lacy black underthings, this legendary Italian lingerie store also carries corsets that big-name designers like Vera Wang and Yumi Katsura swear by. Their recently launched bridal collection includes a bustier with Chantilly lace detail ($345), and panties to match ($37 to $170).

La Petite Coquette

The girlie-girl’s favorite lingerie shop offers a broad selection of honeymoon-friendly panties and bras, accommodating everything from AA to J cups. They also have peignoir sets from Jane Woolrich and Christine Designs. Prices range from $200 to $700.
