Wedding gown. Do not dismiss the importance of choosing bridal lingerie for your gown. The right foundation garments can make all the difference in how the gown fits, how it looks and how you feel, as well as your comfort level. No bride wants to be struggling with ill-fitting lingerie or underwear that is too small or too tight.
Comfort and confidence. Choose bridal undergarments that please you and make you comfortable and confident. Wear something that makes you feel good and that you feel is flattering on you. This is an important day, after all, so make sure that you think about what you want and what makes you feel desirable and gorgeous!
Size. You have to make sure that your measurements are correct; your bridal dress store should be able to give you your most recent sizes. If you feel that your measurements may have changed a little because your wedding diet and hard working exercise is starting to pay off, you can always get hold of a flexible measuring tape and just check your vital statistic.
Style. There are two major styles of wedding lingerie. First is the Basque style of bridal lingerie; these normally come in beautiful white and ivory shades and are made with wonderful combinations of lace, satin and silks. The Basque style is really designed to pull in your waist and to really emphasize your hips and breasts. The second style of bridal underwear is the simple two set bra and knickers. Again you will find these fantastic creations in a selection of white, ivory and cream colors. The fabrics tend to be delicate lace and silks which are ideal for a summer wedding as you will feel really sexy and you don’t have to worry about overheating tight underwear.
Garter. Before the wedding day choose what you feel more comfortable in, in pantyhose or garter belt. If the garter belt is inexpensive it can simply slide down under the pressure of the hose. So make sure it’s tight. If you can’t afford a good quality garter belt, better go for pantyhose.
Color. Since white is the standard bridal color, most women decide to wear that color for their wedding lingerie as well. Whether you decide to go for classic style bridal lingerie or the more risqué options, you can find a full range of both in white. That said, some brides like to be a little more daring with their color choice. Black is a very popular bridal lingerie color, as it is the perfect opposite of white in both appearance and symbolism. Choosing black lingerie will surely make an impression for your first night with your new husband.
Material. When you are deciding on the type of material for your bridal lingerie you will need to consider how warm it is going to be. If you are having a midsummer wedding you will want to choose cotton or possibly silk, but synthetic fabrics such as nylon should be avoided. Corsets or bustier are currently very fashionable wedding undergarments as they can give more definition to your waist and bust, and they are particularly popular in tapestry or satin fabrics.
Try the entire undergarment with your dress. It’s important that your dress lay just right and fit just as it’s supposed to. So make sure you bring your bridal corset and bridal bra with you to every fitting of your dress. The measurements of the dress are taken with your undergarments on and will fit much differently without them, so it’s important to make sure your dress will fit perfectly with your chosen wedding lingerie.
