Luxurious Bridal Lingerie | UKbride

Although it’s your wedding dress that steals all the limelight, being comfortable underneath is just as important!

• Find an expert

Find an authority that specialises in luxurious bridal lingerie. “Finding an expert is the first step to getting your bridal underwear just right”, says Michael of bridal underwear retailer Sophie & Grace. “Having a professional on-hand to answer your wealth of queries will put you at ease and allow you to enjoy the experience.”

• Sort your dress first

“Make sure you’ve bought the gown first - remember that your bridal lingerie should compliment your dress,” advises Michael. “Taking your favourite everyday lingerie to your dress fitting will help you decide on what will feel most comfortable.”

Your luxurious bridal lingerie should complement your dress

• Use a photo as a guide

“Once you have a dress in mind, take a photo of it along to your underwear retailer, together with your lingerie from the dress fitting.” Michael recognizes this isn’t the perfect solution, but it’s definitely the most practical one. “We don’t expect brides-to-be to bring their expensive wedding dress along just to match up their lingerie, but with several guides to go by, we can definitely get a great idea as to compatible styles and sizes.”

• Indulge

Michael says that for the wedding night, sexier is most definitely better: “In recent years luxurious bridal lingerie stockists, ourselves included, are stocking more racy, sexy bridal ranges. Bear in mind your husband-to-be will be imagining what you’re hiding under that elaborate wedding gown all day long. A sexy look will begin your honeymoon in the best possible way…“

• Keep the Honeymoon in mind

“Lots of brides-to-be tend to somewhat overlook their underwear for the honeymoon,” explains Michael. “Although the evening of the wedding is obviously important, so is the holiday afterwards. It’s the perfect chance to experiment with different, perhaps racier styles of luxurious bridal lingerie.”
