Bridal Pyjamas Are Nearly As Important As The Dress These Days...Here Are 15 Nightwear Sets We Love
Bridal pyjamas are pretty high up on the wedding shopping list these days. And as a result, there's a myriad of pretty white nightwear options for women to choose from in 2025 – from simple satin sets to feather-trimmed co-ords and lace-trimmed chemises.
In the age of Instagram, we've reached peak wedding; with celebrations become so well-coordinated that photographers are now offering 'backstage' shots of the bride and her party getting ready pre-ceremony. And you can't well be papped in glam wearing your old Leaver T-shirts, can you? Tie-fastening robes or button-through PJs ensure you don't ruin your hair and makeup when you switch into the gown.

Then we have the hen dos, which have also grown in importance since a decade ago (back when you older sister was content with a night on the town in 'jeans and a nice top'), with many taking place over multiple days and even abroad. You'll no doubt be needing a pair of white pyjamas for the occasion – probably something playful, trimmed with feathers, embellished or even personalised – and perhaps even a bridal bikini.
There is of course the wedding night to consider (if you've not drunk so much champagne that you end up falling asleep in your afterparty dress). For those 'together' brides who make it to bed before they turn into a pumpkin, complete their 10-step skincare routine and slip into something more comfortable, we've included a few sultry chemises and camisole sets to peruse.
Before you roll your eyes at the long list of things to prioritise – the gown, the jewellery, the shoes, not to mention the venue– before you ever consider nightwear, take a quick scroll through our selects below and you might just find yourself suitable distracted.
These aren't called the 'Party' pyjamas for nothing – Sleeper's iconic feather-trimmed set works just as well for lounging as it does out-out with a pair of heels. Buy the pure white colourway for your bridal party to wear on the night before or at the hen.
If you're looking for bridal nightwear that you're sure to wear again, a great quality silk-satin robe is a smart investment. From Harrods' own line, this ivory style is finished with contrast navy piping and elegant shawl lapels.
Olivia Von Halle is the queen of luxury pyjamas – and as a bride, you deserve the best, right? The brand's signature Coco set is made from silk-satin and detailed with pink piping.
Sleeper just launched its most expansive bridal collection to date (with corsage-topped dresses we can't get enough of), but the Ukrainian brand is still staying true to its namesake roots with a wide offering of pyjama styles. There's the OG party-trimmed Sleeper style, a Cheongsam-inspired design and this sheer marabou-trimmed pair.
If you're going full bridal camp for your hen do, obviously Victoria's Secret nails the brief. This white satin robe is trimmed with ruffles and turns to reveal the word 'Bride' in crystals at the back.
Suki Waterhouse wore a Bocan robe while in glam before the Met Gala 2025, so we reckon it's good enough for your big day prep. This champagne-hued robe is made from sheer silk-chiffon and panelled with French lace.
If you don't do white, why not make your bridal nightwear that 'something blue'? Bluebella's chemise is dyed in the shade Ice Water and trimmed with white lace so it feels wedding-night appropriate.
Alternatively, if you're just looking for pure comfort on your hen or wedding night, it makes sense to invest in some classic button-through pyjamas. Made from super soft and stretchy Modal-jersey, Skims' pair will serve you long after the big day.
For hen dos abroad or destination weddings, Chelsea Peers' nightie will inject a dose of fun with its tactile fringed trim. If you're looking for something a little more classic, the brand has a whole range of white satin bridal nightwear to choose from.
Intimissimi is a go-to for real silk nightwear under £100. You can wear this lace-trimmed chemise to bed, or as an underslip beneath sheer bridal looks.
Another Sleeper winner, the Louis pyjamas are defined by their Eastern-inspired details: clock the frog fastenings and curved split hems.
Olivia Von Halle's Issa slip is a brand signature for a reason – it's a minimalist design classic that can be worn as lingerie or a dress. In fact, we've spotted A-listers like Em Rata, Addison Rae and Rita Ora wearing theirs out and about. In pure white it'll serve you at the hen, during bridal prep or at the after party.
Flora Nikrooz's mini robe is perfect for bridal prep – hair, makeup, tanning, the list goes on – on the big day. Made from fluid charmeuse fabric, it's trimmed with geometric scalloped lace and cinches with a tie belt.
Sleeper has no shortage of bridal-appropriate pyjamas. The Bloom pair is dotted with this season's favourite detailing: 3D flowers, a trend born from fashion penchant for the corsage.
For destination weddings, satin pyjamas just won't do. Made from lightweight and breathable dobby cotton, this Nobody's Child pair comes with ruffle-trimmed shorts and a tie-front cami that we'd definitely wear with jeans.
Desmond and Dempsey cotton pyjamas are perfect for the summer bride. Or the bride who loves a bit of cottagecore – just look at those broderie trims and the cute Peter Pan collar.
If you're looking for something that ticks both the 'nightwear' and 'lingerie' boxes for your wedding night, The White Company's camisole and shorts combo is perfect. This set is made from white silk-satin and trimmed with eyelash lace around the cami neckline.
