Almost as important as the wedding dress, is what you will wear underneath it in your wedding ring pose with your future husband.

It is of little use to wear a designer dress, the best jewelry and a beautiful bridal hairstyle, if your attitude when modeling it reflects discomfort. Hence the importance of choosing the right lingerie, because it will have to accompany you stoic throughout the day. How to select the right one? We guide you with the following tips.

1. According to the neckline

The neckline is the area where you should pay special attention, making sure that the lingerie is as comfortable as it is unnoticeable. For example, if you're wearing a strapless or plunging neckline, a bandeau bra will be your best option, while if you're wearing a sweetheart neckline, you'll need a bra with the same shape that sits firmly on the back and ribs and is a little longer than normal.

For deep V-necklines If you're going for a backless wedding dress, then you'll have to opt for an adhesive bra, which sticks to the skin without the need for straps or back support. A similar option is the Pull-on Bra, which is made of cotton on the outside and silicone on the inside.pulling a ribbon in the middle and also does not require straps.

Finally, Bodysuits with cups are ideal for dresses with boat or square necklines. Because these dresses are less revealing, you can wear a slightly larger piece that guarantees you 100 percent firmness.

Remember, though, that since the dress weighs by itself The less your underwear does, the better you'll feel on the big day.

2. According to the skirt

Another aspect to take into account is the type of skirt of your dress. For example, if your design is mermaid style and, therefore, too tight in the hips, you should resort to a panty without seams, lace or edges. They are called "invisible finish" and are usually made with a double fabric of microfiber and tulle.

Now, if your dress is fitted in the abdomen area and you want to hide your tummy a little bit, a high-waist shaping panty will be the best alternative because, as it reaches above the navel, it is perfect for flattening the abdomen area.

And for the same purpose, we also you will be able to wear an invisible girdle that will shape your body Ideal, for example, if you're wearing a princess or empire wedding dress.

3. Tricks

The right lingerie will help you to highlight certain areas and hide others. For example, if you have a small bust, you can choose a push-up bra to look more voluminous, even if it is a triangle bra It can also be a good option, because this garment will give you the support you need, while you will get a very elegant V-neckline.

On the other hand, if you wanted to hide your belly If you're a curvy woman, go for a corset that will demarcate your waist, while a culotte panty, if you're a curvy woman, will avoid the uncomfortable marks that narrower panties might leave on your hips.

4. Fabrics and colours

Since it is essential that you feel comfortable in your underwear, especially on the day you will be exchanging your gold rings, it is ideal that you choose fabrics that allow you to move around freely Among them, the ones that best meet these requirements are cotton, silk, lycra and microfiber. Try to choose plain fabrics or fabrics with details that do not mark your dress and choose your clothes in neutral colors like white, beige, pearl or nude.

On the other hand, if you are going to wear stockings, make sure they are opaque and of the correct size. Choose them in ivory or skin color, depending on the tone of your dress and shoes.

5. Practical information

Very important! Don't forget to bring your complete lingerie set to the last dress fittings. This is the only way to make sure you've got it 100% right or, if necessary, to have enough time in case you need to replace a part.

Also, don't think you're choosing something too boring or traditional. Today the world of lingerie has different designs for brides. Remember that the day will be too long to be uncomfortable and better, as well as reserve those more daring garments for the wedding night. In that instance you can play with colors and textures, but under your simple wedding dress choose fabrics and colors that do not show through, but don't worry, which are no less detailed or sensual.

Finally, don't rush into buying the first thing that catches your eye. Go through stores, look through catalogues, try on different models and look in as many showcases as necessary until you find the ideal outfit.

You already know! With the same dedication that you will choose your wedding decoration, you should also look for the lingerie that you will wear on your big day. And beyond choosing a hairstyle with braids or the latest jewelry trend, believe it or not, what will put the finishing touch to your bridal outfit will be precisely the lingerie.
