At Wanderluxe, we believe the sacred morning of your wedding day is one reserved for a platonic kind of love. Those electric hours of anticipation should be relished with the women who have shaped you. And in lieu of nerves, we’re believers in calming makeup artists, flutes of fabulous champagne and indulgent sartorial keepsakes for the entire bridal party. From the moment you wake up to the last dance of the evening (or early hours of the next morning), comfort and indulgence should reign supreme.
Hello, well-dressed wedding AM.
This is why Wanderluxe’s latest ‘The Morning Of’ collection is a vow to make your most-anticipated morning that extra bit special. For the devoted humans who you choose to get ready with, we’ve carefully crafted a capsule of luxury sets and one-pieces designed to pamper and propel memories. These exquisitely-intricate pieces are made for the modern bride and the diverse friends and family in her close orbit. All fabrics are custom-built in a cotton modal blend of delicious and sumptuous touch-feel. Expect softness, quality and enduring style upheld with every single stitch.
The makings of ‘The Morning Of’.
To rehash the makings of Wanderluxe’s brand-new capsule collection, we caught up with Founder Sherri Kiernikowski to talk through the inspiration behind ‘The Morning Of’. When asked how this idea first bloomed, Sherri recalls that “even before the pandemic, would receive regular enquiries about bridal packages, particularly in the lead up to wedding season”.
“COVID originally delayed our plans for a bridal-specific range, but now that weddings are back, we’re so excited to move into this fabulous category. Weddings are incredibly special and involve so much thought and planning. We see our sleepwear being the perfect addition to the getting ready ritual — not to mention, the best wedding gift for your bridesmaids, complete with an option to monogram all of our pieces.”
How tailoring and sleepwear instinctually intersect.
Believe it or not, this enamoured range of luxe sleepwear is highly influenced by Sherri’s strong career background in men’s tailoring. Whether you’re reclining in a flowy Kimono Robe, posing in a traditional Long Pyjama Set, or paying homage to your love for tailoring in an elusive new Bed Blazer Boxer Set, each design is an ode to Sherri’s honed expertise.
“I grew up immersed in my family’s men's suiting business. I represent the 4th generation of this business, which dates back to 1907. I grew up around fabric rolls, swatches, mannequins, sewing machines and racks of suits.”
“For my own wedding, every detail counted, I loved getting ready with my family and best friends. I would have loved to have matching PJs to get ready in. I loved my wedding dress, it was made by Toni Maticevski and we designed it together. It was all about the detail — and interestingly, the finer detail, just like in our PJs.”
It’s all in the finer details, darling.
This is bridal sleepwear for the details-driven wedding planner — the one who desires custom, bespoke fabrics, mother of pearl buttoning, beautiful packaging, considered monogramming and a cheeky complimentary eye mask (with every purchase). We’ve considered every possible element known to traditional sleepwear and amplified its feeling of quality and luxury. Not just Instagrammable, Wanderluxe’s 'The Morning Of' collection is everlasting. This is a set (or one-piece) that you can look back on (or rewear) with nostalgia in years to come.
The Founder’s favourite.
But why are all of those finer details so important, exactly? Sherri explains how these particular sartorial characteristics are integral to the identity of Wanderluxe, and so many of its imminent wearers.
“These elements should follow form as well as function, enhancing the luxury feel. I spend a lot of time designing each product to ensure that each is true to form and espouses the Wanderluxe brand. I incorporate intricate details into the style carefully and thoughtfully so that they are truly unparalleled.”
“My favourite part of the business is creating something new and seeing it come together, from the creation of the fabric all the way right through to picking the trimmings. These are what make all the difference. I love experimenting with details that truly bring the products to life, and make them feel worthy of a wedding day. I am obsessed with having a product that the wearer will truly love – something that they can have and hold for so many years to come”
Lastly, we had to ask Sherri what her personal favourite creation is from Wanderluxe’s whimsical new drop. And unsurprisingly, it’s The Bed Blazer Boxer Set. “This exclusive new style is just divine. I love how it reminds me of my heritage and family business. Bedroom and beyond!”
