You’ve picked out your dream wedding dress and selected the
hairdo to stop your groom dead in his tracks. However, there are a few more
items needed to round out your wedding
planning wardrobe. Your special day calls for
special bridal lingerie, and we’ve identified four major accouterments for you
to wear under there.

Bra Basics
Ladies, it’s hard enough to find a
good bra for everyday use without the added pressure of searching for one to
wear on the most important day of your life. Like it or not, the bra plays an
important role in how you’ll look in your wedding gown. But you don’t have to
sacrifice comfort for cuteness. Visit your local bridal boutique or intimates
salon for a professional fitting. An experienced bra specialist can help you
select a bra that not only fits you properly, but feels good and gives you the
support that’s needed for your style of gown. And while you may pay a bit more
for a specialty bra than for one from a department store, at the end of a long
and exhausting day, you’ll be happy you did.

Purposeful Panties
From lacy and racy to sweet and
discreet, a nice pair of panties is one of life’s simple pleasures. But we
advise you to find a pair that can withstand various movements over extended
periods of time. For instance, if you’ve never donned a thong before, now is
not the time try it. If you’ve selected a hip hugging wedding gown or one made
of delicate material, try seamless undies. They’re a great (comfortable)
alternative and allow you to wear the cut and style you love without visible
lines.

Sexy Shapewear
Every woman can attest to the
wonders of Spandex and Lycra! Shapewear is perfect for keeping you (visibly)
slim and trim underneath your clothing. So even if you didn’t hit the gym
regularly during those hectic months of wedding planning, sporting a slimmer
can minimize bulges and smooth out any extra “padding.”
Hoisting your Hosiery
There are plenty of options of
hosiery on the market that don’t require an old-fashioned garter belt, but when
is the next time you’ll have an opportunity to channel your inner pinup girl?
When picking your garter, it’s essential to select the right fit to eliminate
slippage. Regardless if you go with a garter or prefer a standard pair of
pantyhose, consider the shoes you’ll wear with your gown. For strappy sandals
or slings, a pair with an invisible toe is your best option.

Once you have your bridal lingerie, give it a test run by trying it all on with
your wedding gown. Make sure you feel comfortable and most importantly, mobile.
If anything looks weird or too cinched or stuffed, replace it with a less
restrictive option. After all, you’ll have these items on for an extended
period of time, so it’s necessary that you find lingerie that not only makes
you look fabulous, but feel fabulous too!
