If picking a wedding dress is one of the most important items of clothing you’ll ever choose, the bridal lingerie you wear under it has to take an essential supporting role too. According to Google Trends, searches for wedding nightwear having increased by 337% in the past week alone. Nuptial season: on. So, we’ve scoped out 21 of the most beautiful bridal underwear sets to wear down the aisle and on your honeymoon.
Saying yes to the dress can be a tricky process (although, just like your betrothed, when you find The One you know), but what lies beneath can be an even tougher choice. Bridal underwear seems to veer between the kitsch-ily virginal – all ruffles, white lace and promises – to the downright practical. Think: suck-you-in bodies and spray-on shapewear appearing to be the only options. But, wait, there are pretty, cute, sexy options out there - and we’ve found the best of them.
Obviously you’ll need to consider the practical elements of what your wedding dress requires before you choose your lingerie. Is your dress curve-skimming satin that needs invisible undies or can you pick something with ribbon edges which won’t show through heavier fabric? Where does the neckline sit and how can you conceal your bra straps? Perhaps you need something entirely strapless?
If you’re skipping the dress for a trouser suit with nothing underneath, a high apex bra with a deep plunge could look beautiful with a little lace peeking out. If your dress has built in boning in the bodice and a full skirt you can get away with a frilly pair of knickers and no bra… But any underwear choice is going to weigh heavy with the expectations of The Wedding Night. Although only half of newlyweds actually have sex post-wedding… something to do with being too tired or too drunk apparently, so don't feel pressured to choose something sexy just because you think you should.
