MOST WOMEN KNOW the power of great underwear and design has evolved dramatically over the years: lingerie now comes in just about every style imaginable and is multi-functional too, being both practical as well as gorgeous enough for that all-important first night too. Do not underestimate the power of well-fitting beautiful underwear in helping you to feel fabulously sexy.

Shopping

According to recent research, brides spend an average of £65 on lingerie for their big day, but you will find underwear to suit any budget in high street shops and specialist stores. Obviously you need to take into account the fabric and colour of your dress but you can still indulge yourself with pretty underwear that complements your look. When shopping you will find there is an array of styles, fabrics and bra types, so consider your dress and body shape to determine what style you need; whether it be strapless, plunge or balconette, among others. If you are looking for extremely desirable undies in luxurious fabrics such as silk and lace, and are willing to pay for it, then try Agent Provocateur in Glasgow www.agentprovocateur.com or Boudiche www.boudiche.com, which offers a great bridal fitting service.

Underwear is your hidden secret, giving you confidence and your new husband an extra treat on your wedding night.

Sizing

Most women are wearing the incorrect bra size, so take the opportunity to be measured properly when shopping for your bridal lingerie. You will undoubtedly find it makes all the difference to have underwear that fits you perfectly. This is especially true with bigger-busted women, whose shape can change radically with the right bra. Once you know your real sizes, enjoy a good look around the specialist lingerie shops; you will find stunning pieces in the bridal collections which are ideal both for wearing underneath a wedding dress and for making his jaw drop on honeymoon!
