Choosing Your Bridal Lingerie

Many brides-to-be spend so long focussing on choosing their dream wedding dress, that they forget about the details that will accompany their dress. Jewellery, tiaras and flowers may all be accounted for, but what about the perfect set of bridal lingerie to sit beneath your wedding dress?

Here are some tips to help you choose the best set of bridal lingerie to suit your wedding dress:

1. First of all, consider the style of your wedding dress and decide whether you require strapless underwear or whether you need the support of straps. It's normally best to choose your wedding lingerie as soon as you've placed an order for your wedding dress, then you can bring it along to every dress fitting you have so that your bridal assistant will know your plans and be able to work around them. You'll probably want to choose lingerie in a similar colour to your dress, so that the edges of your underwear blend in better, just in case your dress slips during the day. You'd be disappointed if you looked at your wedding photos and discovered a black bra peeping out from underneath your white wedding dress.

2. Depending on the size of your bust and the style of your wedding dress, you may be able to get away without wearing a bra at all beneath your dress. This will normally only work if you're wearing a heavily corseted dress which tends to lift everything up anyway.

3. If your dress isn't corseted and has soft, floaty lines, then consider wearing supportive underwear in order to ensure smooth lines. Also consider the fabric of your underwear. Lacy underwear can cause ridges to be seen beneath your dress, whereas satin is more likely to produce a smoother finish.

4. If your dress is already heavily corseted, then you might be surprised to learn that many wedding dress designers advise you should wear a basque or torsolette beneath the corset to ensure the continuation of smooth lines. This will cover the chest area and extend down until the waist line.

5. If you feel that the cut of your dress is making your chest seem a little flat, then you can remedy this by purchasing a bra or corset with in-built liquid or gel enhancements. These will mould perfectly to your skin producing a natural look.

6. Consider what you would like to wear on your legs. If you're marrying in the heat of summer, then it's possible that you will want to keep your legs bare, but if not, then you might consider wearing hosiery. Depending on how full your dress is, tights can be quite difficult to wear as they're not that easy to pull up when you have a heavily layered wedding dress on. Instead, you might prefer to opt for stockings and a suspender belt which are easy to deal with.

7. It's a slightly embarrassing fact that many brides require some assistance when visiting the bathroom on their wedding day. Bridesmaids are usually called to help with this matter. They'll manage to manoeuvre you onto the toilet without half of your beautiful dress ending up in the toilet water. They can also ensure that you don't tuck your dress into your knickers. With this in mind, you might want to think carefully about what kind of underwear you're willing for your bathroom attendants to see you in. The type of lingerie treats that you might have planned for your husband on your wedding night, might cause you and your bridesmaids some blushes at 5pm during the reception meal, so plan carefully. It will always be possible to change into something a little sexier later on.
