Bridal Lingerie

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue goes the wedding rhyme and in this case the something new has, pretty definitely, to refer to your bridal lingerie.

So if you’re ready for that walk down the aisle take our guide to buying bridal lingerie.

Be well supported when you walk down the aisle!

What you wear underneath your wedding dress plays a vital role in making you look and feel fabulous on your big day. The last thing you’ll want to have to worry about is whether or not everything will stay in place! So, plan ahead and make sure your bridal lingerie is as supportable and dependable as your husband-to-be!

Try before you buy

The most important thing is to make sure that you try your lingerie under your wedding dress from the start, so that you don’t have a last minute panic looking for something suitable. Think about what’s best for you and your dress, give yourself plenty of time to visualize not just the time you will be on that altar but also meeting the wedding guests afterwards. Comfortable, supportive and an asset on the day is what you really have to think about and the price tag, on this occasion, is your very last consideration.

Strapless solutions

If you like the idea of a strapless dress, make sure that you find a strapless bra or basque before you commit yourself as, unfortunately, these styles have more limited size ranges than conventional styles.

Basques

Basques are great for creating a smooth line under dresses and, because they are boned, you can wear them without the straps and still feel really secure. Put it this way – if you wear a basque – it should only be you, and not your assets, bouncing down the aisle!

Luxurious bra and brief sets

If you would prefer a sumptuous bra and brief set to support you down the aisle in style, then you need to bear in mind that while lacy bras and knickers are a must for the honeymoon, they might not work so well if you have a very fitted dress. In this situation, it’s probably best to opt for something smoother.

Seam-free styles

Seam-free styles may not look as pretty, but they will stay invisible under your dress, and guarantee that neither you, nor your guests, will be aware of your underwear.

Plan ahead

Different bras not only give you a different shape, but can also position your breasts quite differently. For this reason, and because most wedding dresses are very fitted around the bust, it’s ideal if you can decide on your bra before you even start to have your dress designed. This way, your designer can actually design and fit your dress so that it works perfectly with your bra and you won’t have any last minute panics trying to find the right style. If your dress is not designed it’s best to go round trying ones to find with the exact same type of bra you intend to wear in the day, that way you will be able to see exactly how it looks and feels and the only surprise on the day will be on how beautiful you will look.
