Your wedding day is one of the most exciting days of your life and choosing the correct underwear is of great importance. You need to feel comfortable and of course sexy under your dress.
Rigby and Peller have a fantastic range of bridal underwear that would be perfect for all different styles of dress. Whether the dress is structured or flowing there is the underwear that will flatter and create the shape that best complements its style.
The Perfect Strapless Support for your Wedding Outfit
Many styles of wedding dresses are either strapless or don't have traditional style straps so a strapless bra is necessary. The Fantasie Ava strapless Bra with moulded cups is ideal to wear under your wedding dress, it is brilliantly practical. The cups are smooth and will give a clean line under any delicate fabrics like satin or silk. The moulded fabric of the bra is supportive for all cup sizes up to a GG and offers a great uplifted shape. It is also romantic with its stunning lace detail and delicate pink flowers.
The Marie Jo Avero moulded strapless bra is similar to the Ava in that the cups are seam free and will therefore not create unnecessary lumps and bumps under your dress. It creates a smooth curved shape that gives you confidence on the big day. It is a multiway bra that comes with a pretty daisy strap so would also be perfect under that one shoulder or crossover back dress.
If you are looking for shape as well as support a basque is ideal for wearing under a strapless dress because they have a more structured shape and they lift the breasts and comfortably hold them in place. The Marie Jo Jane Underwired Basque is a traditional shape and structure. It is an ivory colour with pretty rouching detail and detachable straps that can be turned into a halter neck style.
Alluring Bras for Dresses with Straps
If you are wearing a dress with straps then there is more scope for different styles of bra. The main aspects to consider are the cut of the cup and the colour and comfort of the bra in question.
The Rigby and Peller Vintage range would be perfect wedding underwear, its muted tones mean that it can be easily worn underneath a traditional wedding dress. If you are wearing a square necked dress then a balcony style bra would be perfect because it will create lift without the bra showing, the Vintage Balcony bra would be ideal for this kind of dress.
The Marie Jo Avero Padded Plunge bra would make a good bra for your wedding day its simple structure and smooth shape mean that you would not have to worry about embroidered detail creating unnecessary lumps underneath sheer fabrics. Pretty embroidered daisy details on the straps finish the look and add a touch of glamour.
The Bottom Line
As well as bras the briefs that you choose to wear also need to be comfortable and of course make you feel sexy underneath your dress.
All of our ranges come with matching briefs or G string, which style you choose depends of the style of the dress and what would make you feel the most comfortable on the day.

If you are wearing a close fitting dress then a G string would be the best style underwear to wear to prevent visible lines. The Prima Donna Corfu G-string is a comfortable seductive style made with soft lace perfect for making you feel comfortable and elegant all day.
