That special night will be even more special if you're wearing something special to go along with it. The most beautiful night of your life should be even more exciting when you wear risqué lingerie. After the wedding and the honeymoon, your marriage will come down to earth as you deal with the realities of making a home and a life together. So make your wedding night extra memorable for both your groom and yourself by wearing bridal lingerie.

Although you can wear almost any kind of risqué lingerie on your wedding night, traditional bridal lingerie is usually white to symbolize purity. It is often (but not always) made of satin and/or lace and adorned with pearls or light-colored sequins- similar to your wedding dress.

Some brides wear there bridal lingerie underneath their wedding dress and some don't. If your special wedding night lingerie matches your wedding dress nicely and is comfortable, it might be nice to wear it underneath. One disadvantage of doing so, however, is that wedding dresses are made to be beautiful, not comfortable, and the dress alone might make you very hot underneath. Having more satin on underneath will only make you hotter. Cotton might be a better choice- it's cooler, and it'll absorb some of the sweat. Plus, you don't want to get your fantasy lingerie all sweaty- you won't have time to wash it before you need to wear it that night. So you'll probably want to save it for your wedding night festivities, or at least get two outfits- one for under your wedding dress, and one for in your wedding bed.

When you choose your bridal lingerie, you'll have many choices. The most popular wedding night fantasy lingerie is a white lingerie corset with matching panties and white stockings. That might not be your style, so any white revealing lingerie would be acceptable. For example you could wear baby doll lingerie with crotchless lingerie panties; a flirty lingerie bra with satin lingerie panties; or even a sheer lingerie lace gown with no panties. And remember that full figure lingerie is available for brides, too.

When you are planning your wedding keep in mind that your wedding night is a one time event. So don't be afraid to make it as exciting and romantic as you want it to be. The lingerie you choose will have a major impact in how exciting your wedding night turns out to be. No matter what you wear, your groom will surely be very excited.
