How Are/Would You Brides Dress For Your Bridal Night?

Question

I just read the Dear Abby's column today on thong underwear (to thong or not to thong) and it got me wondering about the brides on their wedding night and what mode of dress is more popular today so....

Dress sweetly virginal for your groom or....more provocatively? Not looking for specifics here....just wondering if 'innocent & pure' as in the traditional white lace gown with matching duster & blue ribbons or sexy etc.......

Answer 1

i was just naked. i always sleep in the nude anyway, my husband thinks lingerie just gets in the way, and i was more than ready to strip off that giant gown and uncomfortable undergarments

Answer 2

I didn't "dress up" at all... My husband thinks lingerie is stupid and always says, "What's the point of putting on lingerie just to take it off again?" So I wore the undergarments I had on underneath my dress for about 5 seconds. Which included a lacy white thong, but I personally don't consider that "provocative." And it's not like he was paying any attention to my underwear.



Another friend of mine wore a bustier, garter belt, stockings, etc in white for her wedding night, and that still didn't seem too racy. Maybe that sort of thing just depends on the person. Or white makes it seem more innocent.



There's a difference between a thong and a g-string (in terms of risqué-ness as well as comfort...) and I think responses to the Dear Abby column were blurring the line there. But generally, the younger generation Y or whatever we are don't see thongs as improper.

Answer 3

We're staying over at his parents' house since the wedding will be there and he hasn't got sex on the mind. But really if I was dressing up for him I would wear what makes me comfortable. If he wants a woman in a thong he's got to go on the internet for that! I've never liked the idea of just a string down there.

Answer 4

For "our" generation thong is just a normal part of undergarments and aren't necessarily for dressing skimpy for our fiance or husbands (i'm 29 BTW). Dressing provocative for your fiance is ok but I think it's sweeter and more romantic to wear the white sexy gown for the wedding.

Answer 5

The day I wear a long white lace gown..... well I might as well put the other foot in the grave. Plus I know that wouldn't turn on my (to be) husband.



I think sexy, maybe based around the color white? And save the other colors for honeymoon etc

Answer 6

Honestly I wanted to do a little of each. I have no idea why but it seemed appropriate to do the white thing so I bought a cute white "virginal" bridal lingerie. White lace with a sheer robe thing over it...but I was to pair it with black striped thigh highs and a red garter belt! (Cause after all--the white wasn't fooling anybody)



However we were so tired. We got in at 2 am, he went down to get stuff out of the car, check in and say good bye to father (who dropped us off). I started pulling bobby pins out of my hair. After 45 minutes I thought I had all the pins out (the next morning I realized I didn't), my husband still wasn't back in the room yet and I crashed. We only had 4 hours of sleep as it was until our flight.



I had other fun lingerie for the other nights of the honeymoon so my "virginal bridal" lingerie didn't get broken out until the 1 yr anniversary. But the plan was to look virginal and white. After all, isn't appearance the most important reason to get lingerie? ;-P



(BTW link is hilarious--I wonder if I should have thrown in great sex in there with I promise to honor and obey, share all my worldly gifts and give you great sex. After all--doesn't everyone want to know about your sex life when they are watching a religious service??)

Answer 7

I love anything that makes me feel sexy and confident. I am an avid lingerie collector and have quite a mix for my post-wedding rendezvous (aka the honeymoon!). I am not sure which pieces I will wear for the wedding night exactly, but I am leaning toward a demure white set with stockings to kick it up a notch.



Good luck!

Answer 8

I was like 'kitkat' - peeled off that gown (it was a terribly hot day), we jumped in the shower, then went on from there. Skipped the lingerie set (and still do).



I suppose I would think one of those lovely peignoir sets is really beautiful, though - and doesn't have to be white...

From what I've seen in other postings/questions, common ones now seem to be baby dolls, or bustiers.

Answer 9

I've had a chocolate brown and red silk corset custom made to go under my dress, adding to that will be red lacy shorts, red suspenders and chocolate brown fishnet stockings (I also have red shoes). I think hubby will like the look... but he's probably going to have to ask my sister to pop by to unlace the corset, so it'll more than likely ruin the mood ;-)

Answer 10

I have never worn white lingerie for my fiance. Not purposly necessrily just because i have never gotten any. So i was thinking i would get a white corset. I found a beautiful white satin corset with a matching thong. That is my plan. he is into corsets and that stuff...so ya.

Answer 11

Never a thong! I haven't met a guy yet that would pick a thong over a sexy boyshort any day. (And by met, I mean my guy friends that we have talked about this with).

Answer 12

Since I have been with my husband for 6 years I wanted to keep it comfortable and simple. So I wore this cute silk nighty from Victoria Secret 1 piece. He loved it and I was so comfortable after a long day.

Answer 13

Being that I have never had sex before I was thinking I would go "innocent & pure". I'm a pretty traditional girl.

Answer 14

GG - Sorry this isn't really an answer, but wanted you to know that I was ROFL at your answer to the virgin bride with tears in my eyes. I read it aloud to my husband and he was ROFL as well. :-D

Being middle aged, the only thongs I would ever wear would be on my feet. :-)

Answer 15

I think it depends on one's personal taste. My hubby to be loves sexy, but not slutty, if that makes sense. He still wants some femininity to what I'm wearing, with it being just slinky enough to cause his imagination to run off.

Answer 16

i think it totally depends on what your husband's preferences are. my husband likes both sweet and sexy. on any normal night i go with sexy, so for our wedding night i chose a sweet little outfit that still highlighted the part of my body that he loves and that makes me feel good.

Answer 17

I like the traditional style.

Answer 18

I would go for comfort :)



id say maybe a mixture......a white set, french knickers



something that will not annoy you all day

Answer 19

How about something along these lines

That way you look both sweet and sexy. Pair it with a sheer white robe and I think it would be perfect.

Answer 20

Nothing but my wedding ring ;)

Answer 21

Hey its all about you.
