Bridal underwear: pajamas, dressing gowns, and slips for the most beautiful day
It's well known that the months before the wedding are the most challenging, with everything from choosing the location, the menu, and the dress, to neglecting the things we consider trivial and unimportant. However, even if it's unseen, wedding lingerie must be carefully selected to be comfortable, sensual, and make us feel at ease on such an important day.
Bridal underwear and lingerie: what's a must-have for a wedding trousseau?
For a wedding trousseau, it's best to choose garments that offer comfort, elegance, and functionality for a long day filled with dressing changes and fun. However, be careful when choosing accessories: whether bras, panties, or stockings, each must be selected to match the wedding dress to avoid annoying leaks or visible creases underneath the gown.
What are the 5 things a bride must have?
Like it or not, when it comes to weddings and wedding dresses, tradition holds a special place in people's hearts . We've all heard at least once about the five things every bride should have on her big day: something old, something new, something borrowed, something given, and something blue. But let's look at them in detail. Giving the bride something old to wear on her wedding day creates a strong connection with the past and the family that raised her. It's a precious and meaningful object, like a piece of jewelry passed down from generation to generation, or an accessory to wear in her hair. Likewise, something new represents optimism and good fortune towards a new life , married life. Usually, it's the wedding dress itself, but some decide to treat themselves to a special lingerie set, chosen specifically for the occasion, or a satin slip to wear on their wedding night. There's nothing more beautiful than receiving something borrowed for your wedding, something with a special meaning that symbolizes the affection of loved ones for the bride , accompanying her in the transition from fiancée to wife, but also something given as a gift that symbolizes the deep affection of those who have been close to you and will continue to do so during this new phase of life. Finally, something blue. A symbol of love, purity, and fidelity , this color has been passed down to the present day from the ancient custom of brides to wear blue. Today, the bride is asked to wear a small accessory, such as a hair clip or a detail from her dress. For those who want to bring this color into the bedroom, the soft viscose dressing gown is the perfect choice. Also available in blue, this contrasting color ensemble is always in style, offering a feeling of comfort and a perfect fit.
Undershirts in summer: right or wrong?
Although white is a favorite among brides, the latest trends include alternative neutral colors, such as blush, ivory, or champagne. Bridal underwear, however, should definitely be chosen to match the color of the dress to prevent anything underneath from showing through. But that's not all: not all shades of white are the same . To ensure an unpleasant contrasting effect isn't created, it's important to carefully consider the shades of white, choosing exactly the same color as the dress.
Bridal underwear in the finest fabrics: silk, satin and modal
Silk, satin, and modal are not only luxurious fabrics, but also offer a host of benefits that make them perfect for your wedding day, where comfort and elegance are paramount. Silk , for example, is one of the finest materials for bridal lingerie, featuring a natural sheen that creates a sensation of lightness and softness to the touch and sight . In addition to the elegance and luxury of silk, this material boasts excellent breathability , reducing potential discomfort or irritation throughout the day. Satin is also a perfect choice for this special day. It is a silk-like fabric , whose processing allows for a smooth, shiny surface . Its sheen gives it an elegant appearance, suitable for a sophisticated and precious bridal look . Despite its silk-based origin, satin is more durable and maintains its softness even after numerous washes. Modal , on the other hand, is a fabric derived from wood cellulose, highly durable and soft at the same time. This natural fiber is treated to create a silky, comfortable texture , giving brides a luxurious, comfortable, and breathable material throughout the event.
What to wear on the morning of the wedding?
The morning before the wedding is an important moment for every bride because it's there that everything that will happen in a few hours takes shape. Carefully selecting the attire to wear before arriving at the altar can help create a unique and emotional atmosphere. First, choose a bathrobe in soft and refined fabric , perfect for wearing during the makeup and hair phase before putting on the wedding dress. A light kimono robe could be the ideal solution for combining sensuality and elegance , capable of enveloping the body with extreme softness and giving the bride a unique glow. Pair it with elegant bridal slippers, designed to offer a moment of comfort away from heels: this will allow you to relax and focus only on enjoying the big day. Last but not least, select underwear based on your dress to feel special and comfortable on every occasion, from the ceremony to the party, remembering to choose underwear in breathable and seamless fabrics .
