Bridal Lingerie for a Perfect Honeymoon Night

For many brides, choosing the right lingerie for their wedding night will be a very important decision for the future of their marriage.

For the first time the couple will be alone together as husband and wife, and there are different ways to set the stage with the right kind of sizzle.

The principal thing in choosing the right lingerie is to pick garments that suit your personality. If you feel uncomfortable in your outfit then that will affect your mood as well.

If you follow fashion, many of the world’s top designers also manufacture lingerie lines. Could there be a better way to show your style than to wear pretty high fashion intimate apparel 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 favor the glamorous look, select frilly or lacy lingerie in a bright color that reflects the styles of the ’40s and ’50s. If you’re more understated, select lingerie with just a hint of lace and perhaps a nice pastel shade.

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

Bra or Brassiere: This is the traditional upper covering that offers support and usually only covers the breasts. Styles vary from full coverage to half-cup demi-bras, and push-up or padded 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 can involve laces and eyelets that are time-consuming to get in and out of.


Camisole: This is a free-flowing, loose-fitting and typically 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: A bit like a longer version of a camisole, often mid-thigh like a short dress. The gown is usually flowing and flared, made of silky or sheer fabrics, and the straps are thin.

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 bottom than some other popular bridal styles.

Thong: This offers very little to no coverage at the back, but reasonable coverage at the front and thin string-like sides. Cotton, micro fiber or mesk with some Lycra for added stretch provides the most comfortable thongs.

G-String: 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, be sure to select 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.
