And thirdly, don’t forget about the photo session “Morning of the Bride”: oh, these pictures where you are in a silk robe or lace peignoir drinking your morning coffee, dreamily trying on a veil - they will be the very cherry on the cake of your wedding photo shoot. Before you go exploring the range of lingerie boutiques, see what options we offer you in our article!
Boudoir photography is gaining momentum among brides. Yes, you can’t hang bold photographs of yourself in underwear in a frame on the wall, or add them to your wedding book. But you can make an exclusive photo gift for your husband! He will be delighted. For the sake of such a surprise for your loved one, a photo shoot in wedding underwear can be arranged on the eve of your date - combined with a trial makeup and hair styling, for example.
Lingerie sets
A lingerie set is a comfortable and timeless solution. You just need to choose it taking into account what your wedding dress dictates to you. The outfit has an open neckline - then look at a push-up bra; you definitely can’t wear a lace or bustier set with silk, or perhaps you need to look for a strapless top?
Sometimes the ideal solution is beautiful lingerie for the morning photo shoot and for the wedding night, and comfortable, minimalistic lingerie for the wedding day. But who said that sets are just panties and a bra? The assortment of stores also offers more original options for the top: tops with suspender straps, bandeaus, lace T-shirts.
If we talk about the color scheme, a lot depends on the chosen color of the wedding dress; most often, brides look at white, nude, light pink and cream lingerie sets. But if you are preparing a surprise for your loved one the day before or if you have two sets, you can afford more daring and bright colors: purple, red, bardot, emerald and even black! Complete with a snow-white veil, a string of pearls and a bridal bouquet, it will look very sexy!
Traditions
Like a dress, shoes, veil, wedding underwear carries traditions in its history. The white color of the girl’s outfit symbolizes purity, innocence, tenderness, youth, and beauty. It is customary to match wedding lingerie to the tone of the dress, even if the dress is made of thick fabric. In the white version, the bride looks touching, elegant, and her skin visually looks sleek.
Note that the standard bride's set differs from the everyday one. In addition to the bra and panties, the set usually includes stockings and a belt for them. Traditionally, a garter is hidden on the bride's leg - a small elastic band decorated with lace or ribbons, which is used for a competition among the groom's single friends. Most often, a garter is ordered individually from a seamstress or purchased together with a dress.
Also, a new sign has appeared among brides - buying two sets of underwear at once. The first one wears under the dress. The set should fit the cutouts and outlines of the outfit, adjust the figure and not stand out under the fabric. In this case, it is worth paying attention not so much to beautiful, but to high-quality and functional underwear made from expensive material.
Another option is for the first wedding night. You should choose it based on your own preferences and the wishes of your newly made spouse. It should be sexy, original, awaken desire, and reveal the most intimate parts of your body.
Some brides keep a dress with a beautiful set as a memory of a happy day. Some people believe that if you throw away wedding things, you will lose happiness. Regardless of your attitude towards superstitions, you should not choose a set for a wedding with the intention of wearing it every day. Treat yourself to an expensive and beautiful detail.
We have prepared a selection of photos. Please note how the linen “for day” and “for night” differs.
Bodysuit
The bodysuit is a chic option for the bride who wants to take her attractiveness to the next level in the eyes of her beloved. And for sure, a bodysuit is the right decision for you, if in everyday life it has become your favorite among women's underwear. And what a variety of models there are now!
From the most conservative, dense and closed ones, creating a beautiful silhouette, to completely transparent, nylon, lace ones! With an open back, with closed panties or thongs, with a deep neckline or an open shoulder line. In a bodysuit, since it is a closed form of underwear, you will feel more confident and relaxed in front of the camera lens.
How to choose the right bra for a wedding dress?
It seems that the answer to this question is simple. But when the time comes for searching and numerous fittings, you realize that not everything is so easy. For a wedding ceremony, preference is usually given to white or pastel linen.
We offer several useful points:
- When choosing a bra for a dress with the goal of spending the entire wedding day in it, you should focus on high-quality breast support rather than on the sexiness of the lingerie. Brides are often worried that their breasts look saggy. To avoid such unnecessary worries, it is recommended to choose a bra with a push-up effect. Push-up bodices allow your breasts to look fuller without losing their naturalness. They contain cotton, gel, and water fillers. This makes the décolleté area attractive. It is better not to buy underwear with lacing and ribbons, because... These elements cut into the body and rub the skin.
- The best option is seamless wedding lingerie. A seamless bodice is an irreplaceable item in which you can comfortably spend the whole day. It will not be noticeable under a light summer wedding dress. If the bride prefers traditional sets, then you should make sure in advance that they will not be visible under the fabric of the dress. The goal is to achieve a sleek silhouette using quality linen.
- Modern wedding dresses don't always feature traditional necklines. Therefore, when choosing a bodice, you should remember that it is not noticeable against the background of a deep neckline. What are the options here?
- Strapless bras and so-called bandeau bras are indispensable for an off-the-shoulder wedding dress. The lack of straps has a negative impact on breast support. Bando is better in this case. But its downside is that it slightly tightens the chest.
- For an outfit with a low back, bras that fasten at the back are designed.
- Girls with small breasts are recommended to use an invisible bodice - silicone cups with an adhesive base. This bra is completely invisible and provides good support. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for large breasts.
- Brides who have not yet decided on a dress, but would like to purchase wedding lingerie, are advised to pay attention to a comfortable transformable bodice. The essence of its use is that, if necessary, the straps are fastened with a cross - crosswise in front or behind, it is appropriate to wear a piece of clothing without straps, and form it into a top of various shapes.
When choosing underwear for a change, you can give preference to bold, sexy sets. During the day, exquisite straps and decorative elements will get in the way, but after changing clothes before the wedding night, the girl will pleasantly surprise her husband. Sexy set - what is it?
- Sexy underwear is, first of all, an abundance of lace. The main thing is that the bra and panties are partially trimmed with lace, and not completely made of it.
- For your wedding night, underwear doesn't have to be traditional white or nude. Since the set will be seen exclusively by the husband, the girl has the opportunity to show her imagination. Pastel shades are associated with modesty, while striking black is associated with sexuality.
Corsets
Corset for a wedding dress? Rather an exceptional case, because most wedding dresses already have a corset. And yet, we couldn’t ignore this amazing, vintage piece of women’s underwear. A thin waist and raised chest - this is the picture that the imagination draws when we talk about a corset, isn’t it? But this is also a certain inaccessibility that was characteristic of girls of the 16th and 17th centuries, when corsets came into European fashion. Add a high hairstyle, garters and heels to the look - oh, the French king himself would be jealous of your groom!
How to choose panties as underwear for your wedding day?
- The main goal when buying panties is to provide yourself with comfort and confidence. The underwear should not dig into the skin too much or slide off when its owner moves. It is recommended to choose comfortable panties that will be almost imperceptible during a long busy day.
- If you have a tight-fitting dress or a dress made of thin fabrics, you should buy seamless panties. Panties with trim and lace will be noticeable under a light outfit and will “disturb” the silhouette of the body.
- There are panties attached to tights. This allows you to visually create a tight silhouette of the figure.
- It is not recommended to purchase sexy lingerie for your wedding day. Let it be purchased specifically for the couple's first wedding night. It is advisable that panties and bra be one set.
- You should think about panties - shorts or panties. The first option fits the body well. Both types of underwear are very comfortable and pleasant to the skin. Lace and mesh trim will add special passion to the conservative type of intimate clothing.
- Many girls will agree that tanga panties are uncomfortable to wear. But if preference is still given to this type of underwear, it is better to purchase a product made of soft, seamless microfiber. Cotton will also minimize discomfort.
Peignoirs, capes and robes
It’s hard to imagine a bride’s morning without a beautiful robe or silk cape. At a minimum, this is convenient during wedding makeup and hairstyle - you don’t risk ruining your look by taking off your T-shirt. And of course, the photographer will take beautiful shots while the stylists are creating beauty. Getting ready for the bride is already an integral part of the wedding photo shoot.
Short models
Let's look for the benefits of short robes and negligees! Obviously, they are more comfortable to wear and create a light, playful look. If you dream of spending your bridal morning like in American films, in the company of your family and beloved friends, sister, mother, niece, why not arrange a mini-photo shoot in robes? Choose a special color for yourself and different shades of your wedding color for your company.
Brides prefer white, cream or pale pink, but there's nothing stopping you from being less traditional. The cape can be all lace or with only lace trim, or with a lace bodice and smooth back and sleeves. Three-quarter sleeves are more comfortable to wear, and if you choose bells, you'll add a touch of romance to your morning look.
Long wedding robes
Long wedding negligees are even more popular than short ones - they are stunning! Just try on a luxurious robe with a train or a satin robe with lace trim, and you will see how great this piece of clothing looks.
This is the easiest way to add drama to your morning photo shoot and add grace and sophistication to your morning photo shoot. Models with different types of sleeves - short, three-quarter, long, puff and bell - match your personal style! Do you want something unusual? Consider a wedding robe with a hood. If you're planning a bride's morning without other girls, why not choose a floral color or an unusual print? Be brave!
Material and decor
It is important to choose wedding underwear from a suitable fabric that does not cause allergies, redness or irritation. Jewelry should not fit tightly to the skin, causing itching. Before purchasing, check the composition of the linen, make sure that the material “breathes”, the seams and details are sewn well.
Any part of an intimate wardrobe requires careful selection. Be sure to try on the set before purchasing. If you are purchasing a strapless bra, inhale sharply, then exhale, bend forward and backward, so you can check how securely the bra fits you. Today, manufacturers are meeting brides halfway and offering comfortable bodices that stay in place even during the most fun dances.
Lace
The most common type of lingerie among modern brides are sets with lace. They emphasize the girl’s fragile, sophisticated body, repeating her curves, decorating it with a subtle pattern.
In addition to beauty, you should think about convenience. Often, lace without a soft lining irritates the skin of intimate areas. The seams of synthetic fabric cause discomfort and redness. Remember that you may not have the opportunity to remove or change your underwear during the holiday.
If the dress does not have a corset, and you have a gorgeous bust, you should pay attention to bras where the lace serves only a decorative function, located on top of a cotton base. Openwork elements should raise questions among thin girls with small breast volume. Despite all their beauty, lace bras hide the volume of the breasts, making them less expressive. Petite beauties should pay attention to options with seals, where lace serves only as decoration.
If you choose a flowy, light, chiffon or silk dress, then do not wear a lace bra. The smallest details of embroidery, frills, and seams will treacherously protrude under the dress.
Silk
The silk version looks more conservative, but no less luxurious. The smooth, shiny fabric accentuates curves and is perfect for thin, form-fitting outfits.
Silk lingerie is durable and wear-resistant. Natural silk pleasantly cools the skin in hot summers, but you should understand that only high-quality fabric without synthetic threads has these properties.
To add elasticity to the material, manufacturers weave silk with artificial additives. The fabric becomes more elastic and stretchy, but partially loses its original shine. This option will save pregnant brides, when volumes can increase significantly, and you don’t want to buy lingerie on the eve of the wedding.
Silk lingerie is ideal for curvy beauties. The fabric perfectly holds chic shapes without causing discomfort. Look at the photo, successful sizeplus sets.
Satin
Satin boudoir items have become an integral part of the image of a modern bride. Many beauties order “Morning of the Bride” photography, where they pose in a beautiful satin robe or tunic.
Underwear and robes made of natural satin look expensive. The bright shine and texture of the fabric look festive, emphasizing the importance of the moment. Often, with a robe, a girl buys a cute T-shirt and shorts made of the same material.
Satin wedding lingerie for a bride can cause some difficulties when choosing. The dress “rides” on slippery fabric, gathering into folds. It may be necessary to regularly spray the lower kit with an antistatic spray. Such problems do not arise with a heavy corset dress.
We recommend saving satin lingerie for the first wedding night or an intriguing photo shoot, or choosing a set first and then trying on a wedding dress with it.
With embroidery
Touching lingerie with embroidery has come into fashion quite recently. Lace gave up its leading position on the catwalk to delicate embroidered patterns. Note that some embroideries duplicate standard floral lace motifs, but create a different, denser, interesting texture of the fabric.
The selection of wedding lingerie for the bride should be based not only on ideas of beauty. It should match the style and design of the main outfit. It is unlikely that an original set embroidered with tropical birds will go well with a classic dress with thick lace. But an original A-line chiffon maxi dress or a little white dress for a small ceremony will go perfectly with a delicate new thing.
It is worth understanding that manufacturers embroider on thin fabric without providing the bra with underwires and seals. Also inquire about the quality of the dyes. Multi-colored embroidery can fade after washing, darkening the process of preparing for the celebration.
We advise you to choose trusted brands with a well-deserved reputation, and opt for linen with soft lining and plain embroidery. Look at the photo for interesting trendy options with embroidery.
With crystals
A special place is occupied by intimate wardrobe items with rhinestones. Note that modern fashion gives preference to laconic things without artificial shine or unnecessary decorative details. But demand gives rise to supply, and in response to it, manufacturers make sought-after shimmering underwear for the bride.
Note that over time, the number of rhinestones on underwear has become smaller; now a small crystal can be seen on the bow between the cups, on the top seam of panties or garter belts. If this shimmer isn't enough, stores offer items with lace and rhinestones forming intricate folds.
This option may be visible under clothing. It is important to know that rhinestones are not attached to thin mesh fabric, so they are found only in the decor of thick bras with a push-up effect.
If you nevertheless decide to purchase such a set, then do not buy products with laid out patterns (butterflies, flowers, ornaments), this gives off a low-quality factory whose designers do not follow fashion trends. It is quite possible that an unscrupulous seller wants to sell stale goods from the warehouse. Before purchasing, look at several recent shows of the world's leading lingerie brands, how designers use rhinestones, or look at our selection of photos.

Popular models for the bride
Even though only two people will see the wedding set, the bride wants to look seductive and stunning for her partner. You should select underwear not only depending on its material and color palette, but also paying attention to the trendiness of the model and its appropriateness. Outdated sets that look like they were taken out of grandma's chest will not add brightness to the event.
Retro style
Retro sets create a contoured chest and buttocks. Thanks to the wide straps and angular shape, the bodice is visually tightened, and the triangular panties give additional elasticity to the buttocks.
Retro sets are sold with wedding stockings that are attached to a belt. You can add a corset that will bring the figure to an ideal proportion - like an apple.
Beautiful bodysuit
This comfortable and stunning set is sold with or without cups (the first is suitable for those with breasts of C or more). The bodysuit is made of lycra, lace, cotton - finding one suitable for the ceremony will not be difficult in a company store.
Sexual
Women's sexy lingerie is a risky move. On the wedding day, the bride must leave room for the groom’s imagination, so the set is closed. Complemented with ruffles and bows, rhinestones and crystals.
Kits
A bra and panties, stockings, a corset, a belt will collectively emphasize the advantages of the figure and hide flaws. Shapewear is available for sale; the shape of the bodice lifts the chest, and the corset brings the waist closer to the coveted 60 centimeters.
Stockings will make your legs slimmer and more toned.
