The Great British Wedding July 2014 | Page 10

very bride has an initial idea of what she will look like on her wedding day, and one of her first priorities is her dress.

Once you have found ‘the one’, you then need to turn your attention to accessorizing and the question of what to wear underneath…

Bearing in mind the shape and style of your dress you will then need to decide if you need the magic of functional support, or are free to choose whatever you like.

If your wedding dress has a fuller skirt and no chance of vpl then perhaps a soft silk pair of panties and lace garter could be an option?

Pompadour Couture Lingerie create luxury lingerie perfect for wedding day, evening, honeymoon and beyond! Handmade in Nottingham, we use exquisite Chantilly lace and Nottingham lace with choices from our chic contemporary and vintage designs.

Or perhaps your dress is more of a mermaid or lace overlay and you need a more flush style of garter or knicker? We have a selection of silk garters that sit closer to the skin and an adorable vintage 50’s style pair of knickers for a bit of light support that looks sexy at the same time.

Some of you may decide on a fabulous 1930’s ‘Gatsby style’ dress that simply cannot allow for a bridal garter. Or you need to choose figure smoothing lingerie. Lets be honest, this is not the sexiest of options but that does not mean that your future husband or wife has to see them!

A common trend we are seeing is for brides to have a ‘quick change’ ready for the evening. Many of you will know what type of lingerie your partner likes to see you in, or you simply wish to surprise them! Pompadour Couture Lingerie also have a fabulous selection of luxury Wedding Night and Honeymoon lingerie and nightwear which are sure to add the perfect finishing touch.

Luxury lingerie maker Pompadour Couture Lingerie gives us their options for that something special under your dress, and we explain why choosing the right underwear is so important.

Why does it matter?

The right lingerie is very important - not only will it make you feel fabulous on the day, and also provide support where required, but it actually affects the fit of your dress. For this reason you should ensure that you have your underwear on for your dress fittings.
