Getting married means months and months of planning to make sure everything goes smoothly. You have the dress, the photographer, the room, the DJ, and the flowers all picked out, but do you have the lingerie? Thats right, picking out lingerie for your big day is just as important as your other marital planning obligations. The right lingerie will ensure that no one sees in on your during your wedding and that your husband will love the way it looks afterwards.

Where do you start you ask? Shopping for wedding lingerie isn't as simple as running to your favorite store and picking out any bra and panty set. It takes a lot more time and consideration. Don't let what you wear under your dress ruin your wedding day. When choosing wedding day lingerie it's good to break it down into three important categories: comfort, support, and appearance. If you use these three concepts as guides you will be able to find the perfect undergarments for your personal needs.

1. Comfort: It's extremely important to stay comfortable on your wedding day. An uncomfortable bride can turn into an unhappy bride an thats the last thing you want to do.
   • Stay away from under-wire: Granted, for many under-wire is a life saver, but for brides to be it only increases the chances of discomfort. If you absolutely need to have under-wire, never settle for any bra, basque, or corset that doesn't fit perfectly. Anything less than perfect will be painful and will leave you with red, irritated, and most likely strange looking skin indentations that won't be so sex for your after reception marital bliss.
   
   
   
   • Basques or torsolettes offer the most comfort: These are more or less extended corsets that offer a slimming effect for your tummy (This means you won't feel the need to "suck it in" all day), as well as garters to hold up thigh highs.
   
   
   
   • Choose thigh highs instead of pantyhose: Not only are pantyhose impractical when you need to use the lady's room, but they will leave you adjusting, pulling, and contorting to get just a little bit of comfort.
   
   
   
   • Avoid shape wear: Sure, shape wear is a great way to smooth out flawed areas, but it's completely unnecessary in the light of lingerie pieces like basques, and corsets. Shape wear can leave your skin irritated after a day of non stop action and sweating. In most cases no one but you husband (who has seen them before) will see your legs, and any issues with your tummy can be addressed with the aforementioned lingerie pieces so forgo those shaping yet dreadful undergarments.

3. Appearance: No matter how beautiful your dress is, the wrong lingerie can ruin your entire look. You definitely will want to be extremely choosy when finding the right undergarments



• Choose form flattering pieces: When you choose your lingerie look for pieces that offer invisible support. That simply means you want to stay away from anything that uses wires or bulky materials that will show through your wedding gown. Some solid support is needed, but you will want something that has support that won't leave bumps and lines in your wedding dress.
