What Every Woman Needs to Know About Lingerie For Her Big Day

Knowing what type of lingerie is most suitable for your type of wedding gown can make a world of difference. At Matilda’s we have what every bride needs to help you achieve a perfectly delicious figure for your big day! There are a couple of things to keep in mind when you’re buying bridal lingerie for under your wedding gown:

Buy Your Bridal Lingerie Before Your First Dress Fitting

After you decide on a dress design, find your favourite undergarment and bring it to your first fitting. This skimpy lingerie is going to affect the way your wedding gown fits so it’s best to buy it ahead of time.

Settle on a Sexy Lingerie Silhouette

Some brides want cleavage, some prefer a more conservative style. It’ll be easier to find the appropriate negligee if you know what kind of figure you want to flaunt. Simple but sensual bridal babydoll lingerie might be just what you’re looking for. Then again, you might desire the support and boost found from wearing a bustier or corset.

Get Professionally Fitted

You want to look incredible on your wedding day. You want to have perfectly smooth sexiness underneath your gown so your dress compliments your fabulous figure. We suggest that you have a professional person measure you and help you find the perfect fit. You should be able to comfortably wear your wedding lingerie for at least five hours.

Buy High Quality Bridal Lingerie

Check the elastic, the stitching and the underwire in your bridal lingerie. This is especially important for the infamous garter belt. Loose elastic will lead to unbecoming attempts to hitch your pantyhose higher. You need all the support you can get during the ceremony so save your sexy, skimpy, flimsy favourites for later. Plus if you get the good stuff you can wear it more than once!

Achieving a Flawless Figure in Wedding Underwear

Now that we’ve got the preliminaries sorted, it’s time to assess the type of undergarments that will suit your wedding gown. Here are some tips on choosing the proper skivvies for your special day.

Strapless Gown: Choose a sexy satin bridal bustier. Sure it seems like the natural companion for a strapless gown is a strapless bra but bustier lingerie will actually do a much better job at keeping things in place. Also, wearing a snugly fitting bustier will smooth your stomach and waist area while perking up the twins. The boning in these designs makes them ideal for all figures.

Sheaths (figure fitting gowns): Choose a seamless bodysuit. Sheaths are completely figure fitting so the tiniest piece of boning, lace or ribbon can ruin the entire silhouette. To keep things smooth and sexy, you should wear seamless bodysuit lingerie made of micro fibre. A slinky thong style is ideal for a sleek silhouette.

Sleeveless Gowns: Choose a boned bustier or a traditional wedding bra set. Picking lingerie to wear with a sleeveless gown depends on the size of the straps and the support you require. Heavily boned corset lingerie means you don’t have to worry about straps but spillage may be more of an issue. An erotic bra set is super sexy but you must be sure that the straps will stay out of sight.

Backless Gowns: Choose adhesive bras. Backless gowns are only for the brave! It’s incredibly difficult to find the required support necessary for a backless gown but if you’re feeling bold, make sure you find an extra sticky adhesive bra that will stay stuck for the special occasion. To avoid any scenes, try testing out a few brands beforehand.

The most important part of choosing wedding lingerie is support and comfort. Every woman wants to feel their sexiest on their special day- enduring pokes, pricks and poorly fitting underwear doesn’t have to be a part of it. Matilda’s has stunning bridal lingerie that will feel luxurious and look lovely. Check out our lingerie size guide to get the most gorgeous fitting get-up possible!
