Bridal Lingerie Buying Guide


It's your special day. You've probably thought about it for
years, maybe since you were a little girl. But, how much
thought have you given to the Wedding Night? When the wedding
dress comes off, your bridal lingerie will tempt the groom (as
if he actually needs any tempting) and help turn your special
night into the romantic scene of your dreams.

Bridal lingerie has traditionally been white, ivory or cream
colored. You can use pale colors, however never do this with a
white dress as the lingerie could show through. If you have
chosen a darker color dress, then darker bridal lingerie is
fine.

When purchasing online be sure to order early to ensure the
lingerie will arrive in time for your special night. Also,
lingerie inventories and styles change often, so something you
see one day might not be available the next.

Lingerie sets are always a good choice. They match a top (like
a camisole or bustier) with panties or a thong. Remember, when
you purchase as a set you also usually save money.

When buying your bridal lingerie, don't forget garter belts.

Bridal Lingerie Fit

Whatever bridal lingerie you choose, be sure to try it on with
your wedding dress. Bridal lingerie, especially a bustier or
corset, may change your shape and make your wedding dress look
different.

Babydolls are loose fitting and look good on everyone. Bustiers
and corsets are more restrictive and will shape your figure into
more of an hour glass figure.

Honeymoon Lingerie

Remember, on your honeymoon all bets are off. You might
consider something a bit more risque.

Perhaps a sheer or see-through babydoll or teddy. You should
also stock up on sexy clothes for nights on the town.
