What to where under there on your wedding day.

Your wedding lingerie is probably the most carefully chosen underwear of your life. It’s the one day you want to feel uniquely amazing from top to bottom, inside and out. And those wedding undergarments can either keep you happy and cool or make you miserable during those magical hours. Here are five important suggestions for buying the perfect undies:

Don’t buy your undergarments until you’ve chosen your gown.
Think hard before you buy that lacy bridal bra studded with Swarovski crystals. Lace or patterned undergarments may show through a sleek gown design and soft fabrics. You might require a body smoother (or “slimmer”) that fits you from just under the bust through the leg to eliminate lines under the dress. The primary purpose of wedding undergarments is to make your dress fit fabulously, so your dress style and fabric will heavily influence your underwear choices.

Consider all your options and get a professional fitting.
Visit lingerie stores and the lingerie department in department stores to see all the possibilities. The bridal salon where you purchased your gown is also a good resource. Did you know eight out of ten women wear the wrong bra size? These places should have knowledgeable people on staff to advise you and guide you toward bra and panty paradise.

Choose comfort over style.
This doesn’t mean you have to give up hot, sexy lingerie on your wedding day. You just have to find the right style of undergarments that will keep you feeling comfortably cool during the wedding and reception and sizzling hot for your wedding night. If you have your heart set on something sexy that just isn’t going to stay comfortable for 5 hours of ceremony and reception time, remember you can always change into some heart-stopping lingerie for those late-night festivities later.

Purchase your bridal shoes before your hosiery.
Are you wearing pumps, slingbacks or sandals? You may prefer thigh-highs or pantyhose with or without seams, but look for sandal foot or invisible toe and heel hosiery if you’re wearing slingbacks or sandals. You do want to start your marriage off on the right foot, don’t you?

Bring all your wedding undergarments and your bridal shoes to the first fitting.
If anything needs to be changed, now’s the time to find out. Wearing the shoes you’ve chosen will help get the hem of your dress precisely right, so you don’t trip as you walk down the aisle and inadvertently show everyone your lovely bridal lingerie!
