Bridal Lingerie Considerations

Tips For Men Buying Lingerie. Remember that she is the one wearing the lingerie. Many women prefer pretty, lacy, elegant lingerie to the naughty stuff you would prefer to see her in.

You've seen thousands of photos, tried on dozens of gowns. But you may have missed some small items in your search for the perfect wedding-day look -- those essential unmentionables that go under the dress. Undergarments provide the foundation necessary for your outerwear to look how it's supposed to. They can change the way your dress fits, so you'll need to purchase them before your first fitting. Read on for the lowdown on lingerie.

BRA

The bra is the uberundergarment, that leading piece of lingerie to which all others play supporting roles. You'll need a good, supportive bra to lift you up as you walk down the aisle and keep you comfortable for hours of dining, dancing, and posing with relatives. Many bridal boutiques offer decorative bras that are as creative -- and nearly as costly -- as the gown itself. While some of these elegant brassieres have unique proportions that can be quite useful with the right gown, make comfort your priority: You don't want insufficient support or annoying wires cutting into your sides on your wedding day. And remember, you can slip into provocative, flimsy lingerie when you take the gown off.

Tips For Men Buying Lingerie. Go through her drawer and pick out some underwear that she wore recently and that fitted her well. Check the size labels and buy those sizes (eg, 32F or 38G etc). BIG HINT, make sure you put her underwear drawer back as you found it.

Before you buy, ask about the store return policy. You'll likely want to try on a few different bras with your gown, so make sure that as long as you leave the tags on, the garment is returnable for a full refund.

Regardless of which style you choose, try not to have unrealistic expectations for your bra -- or yourself -- on your wedding day. If it's too uncomfortable to wear for a five-hour stretch on a normal afternoon, why suffer?

SLIMMERS

While old-fashioned girdles have long been out of style, you might try one of the several contemporary slimming undergarments that use Lycra or Spandex rather than stiff stays or ancient whalebone.
Make sure you take your bra, slimmer, stockings, and shoes to your fittings; a body-support garment will give a slightly different shape than just sucking in your gut, and changing your "support" down the road will affect the way your gown fits.

PANTIES

As with the bra and slimmer, choose panties that offer comfort over sex appeal. (There's just no way to discreetly rearrange a pair of creeping panties through a wedding gown!) If your gown has an unusually slinky cut or is made of very thin material, you may want to use pantyhose with built-in underwear.

HOSIERY

If you want to wear a fancy garter belt with hooks to hold up thigh-high hose, make sure you choose one that fits snugly around your waist -- and won't be seen through your gown! The pressure of the hose can pull an inexpensive, elastic garter belt downward, leading to wrinkly knees and an evening of endless attemts to hitch up your hose (a task nearly as hard to hide as panty-tugging).

A garter belt is a pretty superfluous item, given the variety of sleek and sexy pantyhose available. But some women feel extra sexy just knowing they're wearing one. If you go with a garter, you'll need to test it out to make sure you can bear the inconvenience.

Tips For Men Buying Lingerie. Go for the more luxurious looking items - quality and fit count here, so make sure you buy her something that will look good if it is going to be 'worn to be seen'. Does she like her straps to be on show? Look for underwear that has decorative lace or embroidery both on the cups and the straps.

Before your wedding, try on your gown -- with your undergarments -- under the watchful eye of a close friend. Once you're sure you won't show more than you intend to show, forget about it and have fun!

Getting the most out of your wedding day shouldn't be contingent on your lingerie, but it will definitely have an impact on your memories. Take a chance on your styles, and do it differently than all others. Make your day more special for bride and groom with the little details that are so memorable.

There are so many styles of undergarments these days that finding the perfect bridal lingerie may seem an almost impossible task. The best idea is to combine comfort with a touch of luxury. The secret is to choose bridal lingerie to wear under your wedding dress that you feel at ease with - you can always change into a more daring set of lingerie for the wedding night!

If you decide on a particular bridal lingerie set it is important that you wear it for a little while sometime before the big day. This is to make sure that you don't feel uncomfortable or find out that it doesn't quite fit on the big day. It may seem an obvious point to make but the last thing a bride wants on her wedding day is to feel itchy because she chose a far more lacy set of bridal lingerie than one she normally wears.

There would be nothing worse than feeling conscious of your underwear throughout the wedding ceremony and reception because you neglected to try on your new bridal lingerie ahead of the big day. You want your wedding pictures to be perfect, not showing you grimacing with discomfort.

Of course, for the wedding night you can be as daring as you want to with your choice of bridal lingerie!
