Although I'm sure that my wedding will be the most romantic day of my life, I've heard from several different married friends that romance is scarce on the actual wedding night. By that point, you've been up for countless hours smiling and posing for photos, entertaining a hundred or so of your nearest and dearest, and dancing the night away. It's completely understandable if throwing on a sexy négligée and seducing your new husband isn't the first thing on your mind. Make up for it on your honeymoon by creating a late-night wardrobe that will make him blush! Here, some of my favorite editors' picks.
