Start with one piece that feels special and keep the rest simple. Carine Gilson's blue lace-embroidered silk-satin robe, Olivia von Halle's white floral Bella pajama set, Eres' pink lace-trimmed Instant camisole and Danielle Frankel's ivory satin Joan pumps cover the whole morning.

A robe is the piece you will be photographed in most, so pick a colour you love. Olivia von Halle's blue Mimi robe and Kiki de Montparnasse's pink silk Juliette robe are the prettiest options here. Tekla's ivory cotton-terry robe is the practical choice for hair and makeup, and Carine Gilson's ivory lace-trimmed satin robe is the most bridal of all.

Matching pajamas make a sweet group photo, and each of these works on its own afterwards. Skims' light blue polka-dot poplin set and Deiji Studios' white floral linen set are relaxed and easy to sleep in. Olivia von Halle's ivory Blair silk pajamas feel the most special, while Tekla's striped organic cotton pajama shirt looks great over jeans later on.

Wedding shoes should be comfortable enough to stand in for hours. Staud's beige satin Brigitte mules and Loeffler Randall's cream satin Alice sandals keep the heel manageable. For more shine, Manolo Blahnik's crystal-embellished ivory Zutonplan pumps and Aquazzura's embellished silver Mystic Stone mules are the ones to choose.

Pearls are the classic finishing touch for a reason. Mizuki's gold earrings with pearl and diamond and Loren Stewart's Poet earrings with pearl and tourmaline are delicate enough for any neckline. Vivienne Westwood's three-row pearl drop necklace is the statement, and Mateo's gold and pearl necklace is the quieter choice.

What you wear before the ceremony ends up in more photos than you expect, so choose it with care. If you take one thing away, let it be that the robe matters most; get that right and everything else can stay simple. Silk and satin photograph beautifully, while a cotton-terry robe is kinder during hair and makeup, so plenty of brides wear both. For shoes, we would skip any pair you have not already walked in for a full evening at home. Pearls tie the morning look to the wedding look without much effort. Choose pieces you will reach for again, because a good pajama set or pair of satin mules should outlast the honeymoon.
