The Lipstick Effect is a fantastic new bridal accessory website and it has just launched The Bridal Boutique. It fills the gap for all the missing items that you may have either not thought of yet, or are having trouble finding. Sourcing gorgeous and quirky items that you won't find on the high street and supporting British brands, their Bridal Boutique includes bespoke panties from £38 (I especially love Ell & Cee's range where you can create your own message on the back!), a fabulous wide range of hosiery from leading brands such as Falke and Jonathan Aston from £7.50, and of course garters. It's hard to find 'chic' garters, as you will know if you have already started looking, but ranges stocked such as Love By Susie (with vintage inspired lace and pretty colours) are nothing but cute and feminine, from £10. Finally the honeymoon goodie box (from £49) is a perfect treat to take away with you for your romantic break. Including a sexy sleep mask, seam and heel hold-ups and silk tie panties there's something for both you! www.lipstickeffect.co.uk
