bridal chamber
Newlyweds' private room
A bridal chamber is the bedroom where newlyweds spend their wedding night.
The term is formal and old-fashioned, appearing mostly in historical contexts, religious texts, and period literature: The servants prepared the bridal chamber with fresh linens and flowers.
Modern usage tends toward more casual alternatives like honeymoon suite.
