Five Tips for Choosing Bridal Lingerie

When you envision your walk down the aisle, you’re probably more focused on the dress than what’s underneath it. A wedding is a romantic undertaking, and your new spouse is going to be just as eager to see what’s under your dress. The Lingerie you wear on your wedding day should be something special. Here are five tips for choosing wedding day Lingerie and foundation garments to bear in mind when making your selections.

Prioritize comfort, No 1 tip for bridal lingerie

You’re going to be wearing your wedding day outfit for a long and exhausting day, so don’t buy a bra that pinches. Bras should be comfortable and suitable for your wedding gown. For example, if you have chosen a backless dress, you may not be able to wear a bra.

Consider where straps need to be. Will you need invisible straps that you cant see under sheer lace wedding dress straps. Check that the bra you buy has straps that can be made detachable.

Also, leave the tags on until you have checked that any foundation garments cant be seen under your gown.

Underwear too small and leaves you unable to breathe is a recipe for disaster. Also the main cause of unwanted back fat.

If you are wearing stockings, make sure they are the right size and are not constantly falling down. If you want to keep it simple or have a summer wedding, consider not wearing stockings on a hot day under a bridal gown. A leg wax and spray tan and presto, you have just the same effect but much cooler. Remember: comfortable Lingerie doesn’t have to be ugly; it just has to fit! 

Pick the Right Hue foundation garment colour is essential.

Many brides make the mistake of pairing a white bra with a white gown. If your gown is thick, this works well. But if you’re worried about your bra showing through, you need to go with a nude or skin tone, not white. The same applies to any shapewear. 

Try your Bridal Lingerie with your gown. 

It might seem obvious, but in the hustle and bustle of wedding planning, it’s easy to forget why you’re purchasing all this Lingerie! Give your entire outfit a prenuptial test run by trying your Lingerie with your wedding gown at your dress fitting. Don’t forget to walk around, bend, jump, and dance since some lingerie issues only reveal themselves when you’re active. 

 Check your bra straps line up with your wedding dress straps. Plus, the back of your gown covers your bra strap at the back. If you are concerned that it may ride up at the back or your bra straps may move, your dressmaker has the solution.

Ask if they can put clips that hold your straps together on the shoulders and hooks at the back to stop riding up.

Brides tip: Wash and wear your bridal Lingerie before the big day to ensure no chaffing or pinching.

Don’t Forget Your bridal garter. 

The days of garters used to hold up stockings are a thing of the past, but the wedding day garter is still a must-have tradition. Pick a garter you love, and make sure it will be easy for your honey to take it off during the reception. It’s also a super-easy way to ensure you’re wearing your “something blue.” if you have chosen a keepsake garter, then have your groom keep a throw garter in his pocket. The throw garter is usually a cheaper and simpler version. That way, you can keep the special one as a keepsake.

Consider a shapewear wardrobe change.  

Stuck wearing a plain flesh colour strapless bra or shapewear? No law says what you’re wearing under your gown is what your spouse has to see the night of the wedding! If your Lingerie is practical but ugly, consider making a last-minute wardrobe change just before leaving your reception. Your love will never know you were wearing something less-than-gorgeous all day.
