2. Choose bras and panties that are pretty and fit you well. Fixing of the bra straps and wedgies is a definite no no during the wedding ceremony! Scout out the different types of bras and panties to find the most appropriate and comfortable for your wedding dress.

3. In case you decide to wear a lingerie garter belt with sexy stockings, be careful that it does not peek through your wedding gown.

5. As for the honeymoon lingerie, you should love it. If the style is too daring for you or you don't feel at ease wearing it, you might balk at the last minute and end up holed up in the bathroom. When choosing your wedding night lingerie be sure to opt for exotic lingerie or women sleepwear that accentuates the positive and makes you feel alluring.
