Your Honeymoon Lingerie Personality
Find Your Honeymoon Lingerie Personality
by Alicia Vargo, Founder Pampered Passions Fine LingerieAfter the challenges of finding the right undergarments for under your beautiful wedding gown, for brides, Bridal Lingerie is an important, yet surprisingly overlooked necessity. Try creating a Trousseau Registry, or Bridal Registry for all of your playful, comfortable and sexy honeymoon lingerie. This way, all of your friends and family can purchase your honeymoon lingerie for you.
Browse around the internet and get yourself familiar with all of your options. Options can be overwhelming, but do your best to look on-line for ideas, then find a intimate retail store location where the personal fitters can play dress up with you based on your body-type, to assist in flattering and bringing out your very best features.
When purchasing fine lingerie keep in mind even though you may be comfortable with one type of lingerie, say a gown, you can be adventurous and find other styles that match your body-type. Some women look great in chemises (short dresses), go ahead show off you legs! Some women look lovely in babydolls, (chemise with a peek-a-boo tummy) Bustiers come longer or shorter. Fuller figure ladies look splendid in a longer torso bustier or longline corset. Don’t be afraid of the three piece bra and panty sets with a garterbelt. Depending on your comfort there are so many styles to choose from, Shelf Bras, Push Up Bras, Unlined Bras, thongs, tangas, bikinis, panties to thicker garterbelts for tummy support, and thinner garterbelts. Make sure you practice with your personal fitter if you are purchasing a bustier, corset or garterbelt. Practice putting on stockings as well. Nothing is worse than ruining the moment, as you are in the bathroom for hours trying to get your bustier on by yourself or the clips to the stockings and garterbelt!
Many brides like to be comfortable and functional during the wedding ceremony, then change into a sexy number afterwards even if it is still under clothing. Don’t forget the details for your wedding night, accessories can add spice and class up your outfit. Stockings, garters, sexy underwear, massage candles, feather boas, linen roses spread out in the bathtub and on your bed can add so much to the ambience of your special evening. Confidence is key to your success in the bedroom, and experimenting can be so much fun!
You can pick out “themed lingerie”. Say you are getting married around Christmas or Valentine’s Day, there is plenty of selection to choose from at this time of year. Don’t forget a costume of two if you are getting married around Halloween.
Men can get into the game too! You have many types of men’s lingerie to fit the groom’s preferences. Silk boxers, boxers with patterns and silk pajamas are not just comfortable but stylish.
An accessory or two, never hurts, whether it be a Kama Sutra edible item, like a 3 type of body chocolate paint kit, massage candles, bed of roses, silk sleep masks, and even more adventurous things that you may not experiment with once you have kids!
Think about where you may be going on your honeymoon and plan accordingly. You may be going somewhere tropical, somewhere colder, consider the climate when choosing fine lingerie. Make sure you have basics, sexy items, items you can layer and be worn in or outside of the bedroom. Since your honeymoon is a once in a lifetime experience, splurge and have a new surprise for him everyday of your romantic days and nights together. Nothing is sexier than going on a picnic with your body that he adores peeking through an everyday lacey shirt. Consider his preferences. Men love sheer, surprisingly men love white, men love daring and sexy. A sexy chemise (short dress) surprisingly can be worn out on the town as well as a nightcap. He will love your adventurous side and will remember it forever!
A Bridal Lingerie Shower is fun for everyone in the party, along with your Bridal Registry this is a huge help in building up your Trousseau. A chosen few lingerie boutiques will allow you to host after hours Bachelorette Parties and Bridal Showeres. This is a very unique way to have a memory. Not many brides can say they sported their Bridal Shower in a fine lingerie store!
Put Your Bridal Personality to the Test
Bridal Divaness

Lace, long hair, vintage jewery, beautiful barrettes can adorn this bride with a beautiful lace gown or chemise. Frill, levers lace, and simply elegance outline this bride in style and grace. Layered looks of tulle and lace with vintage jewelry outline this bride in romance and style.

This bride is not intimidated to wear a unlined, lacey beautiful bra that is colorful under anything, like the ladies in Europe do. A T-shirt bra maybe in her wardrobe, but it has found a place in her lingerie drawer and it’s the lonely corner that doesn’t get taken out and played with very often.
Natural Bride
Simplicity and comfort is key, believe it or not, her practical side comes through and she usually is a matching gal with basics. Look for eco-friendly pima cotton, simple modal materials with a little lace trim. The Eberjey line is a beautiful, comfortable, sexy and simple line of pajamas, bras, chemises and robes designed for function, yet a touch of girly girl comfort.
