I Do, Indeed! – Valentine NYC & Serène Bridal Lingerie

August 14, 2016

The best days for a blogger are when you discover a brand that makes you want to write about it RIGHT THIS INSTANT. You are instantly smitten, and need to share your discoveries with the rest of the world. I was fortunate to get struck with inspiration from two distinct brands, both of which recently released a bridal collection: Valentine NYC and Serène Intimates. Granted, their styles are different, but at the heart of both collections are intimates that are ethereal, breathtaking, and covet-worthy whether you’re a bride or not.

Valentine NYC is a lifestyle brand that was established by two former models who wanted to create quality lingerie that is both affordable and realistic for daily wear. Their production is based in Colombia and employs only single mothers (a portion of all proceeds also benefit these female workers). It is evident that the spirit of the brand is a woman who is independent, effortlessly confident and certainly stylish!

Serène is a UK-based luxury lingerie and loungewear brand that is handmade to order using traditional craftsmanship. Its founder, Kayleigh Millar, has a background in fashion illustration and design work experience that includes labels Gilda & Pearl and Ultimo. This new label wants to ensure that the new bride has a trousseau filled with perfectly fitting undergarments!
