Honeymoon Night Bridal Lingerie Advice

For many brides, choosing the right lingerie for their wedding night will be one of the most important decisions they make in the future of their marriage. For the first time the couple will be alone together as husband and wife, and there are different options available to set the stage with the right kind of sizzle.

The most important thing in choosing the best lingerie is to pick something that matches your personality. If you feel uncomfortable in your outfit then that will affect your mood as well.

If you keep up with fashion trends, many of the top designers in the world also make lingerie lines. What better way to show your style than to wear pretty high fashion garments by Dolce & Gabbana, or sophisticated yet practical undies by Diesel?

Most brides probably think of white lingerie for their wedding night, and that’s a fabulous way to keep the tradition going. But don’t overlook a little bit of playful color to add some spice to your life.

If you like the glamorous look, go for lacy or frilly garments in a bright color that suggests the styles of the ’40s and ’50s. If you’re more understated, select something with just a hint of lace and perhaps a nice pastel shade.

If you’re addled by the terminology and don’t know what to ask for, here’s a breakdown of some of the most popular lingerie garments:

Bra or Brassiere: This is your traditional upper covering that offers support and usually only covers the breasts. Styles vary from full coverage to half-cup demi-bras, and padded or push-up bras that give an extra boost. Strapless styles are available, or various strap configurations to go with different types of tops.

Bustier or Corset: This is like a bra, but usually strapless and covers much of the bodice as well, often with boning to restrict movement. Some kinds do up with bra-like hooks, although more traditional corsets use laces and eyelets that are time-consuming to get in and out of.

Camisole: This is a free-flowing, loose-fitting and usually lacy or silky top that resembles a feminine version of an undershirt. Straps can be spaghetti-style or adjustable like a bra. Often they come with matching panties as well.

Chemise: This is like a longer version of a camisole, often mid-thigh like a short dress. A chemise is usually flowing and flared, made of sheer or silky fabrics, with thin straps.

Baby-doll: A much shorter dress-style garment than a chemise, usually just covering the bottom, and always flares out considerably below the waist.

Bikini underwear: These are panties that are low-cut on the hips but offer more coverage on the rear than some other popular bridal styles.

Thong: This offers very practically no coverage at the back, but modest coverage at the front and thin string-like sides. Micro fiber, mesh or cotton with some Lycra for added stretch provides the most comfortable thongs.

G-String: This is a smaller version of a thong, which essentially covers little to nothing at the back and not much at the front. The sides are simply strings, and the same types of fabrics as thongs are available.

Now that you have a run-down of the basic options before you for bridal lingerie, make sure to pick garments that both people in the newly married couple will appreciate. It may come off very quickly, but it will set the mood for one of the most memorable nights of your life.

The word “lingerie” is very feminine and denotes excitement, sensuality and elegance. It does not point towards the dull collection of everyday underwear but captures the feminine, fashionable and adventurous essence of all women.
