3 Essential Plus Size Wedding Accessories

Wedding season is just around the corner. As you start to finalize your big day and find that perfect dress, don't forget one crucial wedding to-do list item - accessories! Plus size wedding accessories aren't about the cute shoe or perfect necklace. They're the accessories that help you feel comfortable in your skin on the big day. These wedding accessories can help you accentuate your best features and feel fantastic no matter what size you are. Choosing the right lingerie accessories can go a long way in ensuring that you feel comfortable and confident walking down the aisle.

Wedding Bras

Wedding lingerie is an essential accessory for any bride. While wedding lingerie is traditionally supposed to be sexy, it also needs to be practical. Many plus-sized brides find themselves choosing functional wedding bras for the day and something else for the evening. Backless, strapless, or complicated cut out dresses can make selecting a bra one of the most challenging decisions a bride makes — after picking the dress itself. Petite brides can get away with going braless or using stick-on or backless bras, but ladies with bigger busts will find they need extra support. If your dress doesn't have built-in support, you may need to consider a corset or longline bra. Longline bras have more coverage and support than regular bras. Plus, most longline bras have removable straps, so you can alter them according to the type of dress you have.

Wedding Day Underwear

The right underwear matters on your wedding day, you don't want it to be hot or uncomfortable, and this isn't a day for the dreaded visible panty line. Some plus-size brides may consider wearing shapewear under their wedding dresses. While these shapewear garments can streamline your curves, they can also be restrictive and uncomfortable to wear for a long wedding day. Wedding dresses can be very hot, especially at summer weddings. You won't want to wear pantyhose or hosiery under your wedding dress in hot weather, but you may find yourself needing something underneath to prevent inner thigh chafing. Bandelettes® Beige Allure Panty Shorts are the ideal way to prevent thigh chafing. This all-in-one underwear and anti-chafing short solution are suitable for brides. The nude color is discrete; the shorts prevent chafing and smooth wobbly bits - without being restrictive. The seamless material allows free movement and is breathable for hot weather.

Wedding Night Lingerie

Many wedding dress undergarments are sexy enough to be worn on both your wedding day and wedding night. However, if you chose your daytime underwear and bra based on practicality, you may want to slip into something a little flimsier and pretty for the evening. There are now more options for plus size lingerie available if you know where to look. Skip the department store, which is usually limited in available sizes. Instead, turn to online retailers to find fabulous size-inclusive lingerie for your wedding night. And don't forget to accessorize your lingerie with white lace Bandelettes! These sexy thigh bands look like stay-ups, but they come in a wider range of sizes and do double duty by preventing chafing while looking sexy. Plus size shopping can be challenging, but finding plus size wedding accessories you feel perfect in for your wedding day shouldn't have to be.
