The great golden rules of wedding lingerie
If there’s one day when you owe it to yourself to treat yourself while still being comfortable, it’s this one. It’s essential to prioritise quality and comfort, and to plan ahead by bringing your lingerie for the big day to the dress fitting sessions.
But whether the bride is an eternal romantic or a daring ‘sexy bride-to-be’, there are a few principles to follow to the letter if she is to look her best in the spotlight.

And yes, finding the outfit of your dreams in which you’ll feel like you’re growing wings isn’t actually that easy…
Bridal lingerie must be feminine, elegant, trendy, comfortable, subtle, sculpting, discreet, adapted to the colour and shape of the dress, etc… All while reflecting the bride’s personality. Like we said, it’s a mess!
#1. Choosing the right bra shape for your dress
With a strapless dress
With or without a bra? That’s the first question to ask… If the answer is yes, then straps are out.
Instead, opt for a bandeau bra with integrated cups, whalebones and silicone bands for better support, to avoid any « accidents on the way » throughout this crazy day.
With a dress with a plunging neckline
Front:
We’re obviously banking on a bra with a plunging cutout between the two cups to ensure maximum discretion while guaranteeing good support for the bust. The triangle bra promises comfort. With a V-shape, shell bras and push-up (or plunge) bras guarantee a curvaceous effect.
In the back:
The choice here is simple. These ladies can go for the simplest by putting nothing on, or adopt nippies that will ensure optimum discretion.
With a dress that’s very close to the body
You don’t want guests squinting at any visible, unsightly creases… So you can opt for a pretty, comfortable sheath dress. Many options are available, depending on your tastes and needs: high-waisted panties, skirts or dresses, or even bodysuits…
#2. The day: priority to discreet lingerie
Underneath her wedding outfit, it’s advisable to adopt so-called « invisible » lingerie in microfibres or seamless depending on the options offered by the dress chosen.
In terms of colour, white has that virginal, romantic feel, but it’s not the only option. Without going for vitamin orange or electric blue, off-white and the colours ivory, flesh, cream and powder pink remain subtle.
#3. When evening comes, don’t forget to treat yourself!
Let’s talk small, let’s talk big: it’s sometimes difficult to reconcile daytime ensembles and bridal night lingerie. Even if the garter always makes an impression, certain other pieces are probably a little less appropriate for a wild dance on the dance floor… And why not add some lingerie to your outfit once you’re in the bridal suite?
There are athousand and one options to choose from: sublime basque, babydoll, lingerie accessories or even a sexy pair of open panties … Your other half is sure to be charmed by this little attention just for him.
Unlike bridal dresses, bridal lingerie has the advantage of being wearable again afterwards. So it’s the perfect time to treat yourself!
