Choosing wedding lingerie to enhance your curves

Of all the fun aspects of planning a wedding, shopping for the clothes has to be on the top of the list! Choosing the wedding dress is a unique shopping experience and with everything else to worry about, underwear may not enter your mind, but what's under your dress determines how you look on your special day. All eyes are on you and the last thing you want to worry about is a bra bulge or tummy roll.

You have chosen your dress and it probably needs to be altered, this is when you need to choose the foundation garment. Is your dress simple and sleek? You might only need a slip to create a smooth line. Is your dress formal and structured? A corset could be the perfect detail to bring out the best in a wedding dress with a tight waist. A padded or push-up corset will give the "girls" a little something extra and can be the perfect touch for a strapless gown.

Corsets are also outerwear. Picture a fall wedding with bridesmaids in orange brocade corsets and cinnamon satin long skirts, carrying bouquets that include leaves in gold, brown and pumpkin. An elegant and ornate bridal corset with a shimmering, sweeping skirt would be stunning and unique in this setting and your bridesmaids will actually have an outfit they can wear again!

The stress of planning the wedding is behind you and now it's time to relax! Whether you've been saving yourself for marriage or been with your partner for decades, you still want to look and feel gorgeous on your wedding night and honeymoon. And whether you have ample curves or no curves at all, there are many styles of lingerie to compliment your body type.

Large busted women will appreciate some support, a stretch lace bodice is both comfortable and flattering. If you don't like to expose your tummy, look for a babydoll style with a pretty skirt. If you love your legs, find something short or with a sexy side slit. Not real happy with your legs? Try a dramatic full length peignoir. Plus size lingerie is not always readily available in your local mall but there are many online stores that offer a wide range of sizes.

Slender women may have just as difficult a time choosing lingerie. You can create curves with proper lingerie. Padded cups are one way for small busted women to enhance their assets. Look for lingerie with seams that create a bodice, you probably would not be happy with an unstructured chemise, for example, that falls straight from the shoulders. If you have a straight waistline, look for lingerie with side cutouts, like a skimpy teddy, that gives the illusion of a curvy waist.

Whatever you wear, try to relax and enjoy yourself. This is the beginning of an exciting and happy life together! At Oh Cheri!, we love to give advice. Contact us with any questions.

Looking for gift ideas for your wedding party?

Spring is coming soon and it's the favorite time of year to have a wedding. One of the details a bride is concerned with is choosing thoughtful gifts for her wedding party. At Oh Cheri! we love to give advice and we offer a special section in our online lingerie store called Gift Ideas.

Something cute and useful, like the Shirley of Hollywood corset-inspired jewelry organizer, would bring a smile to any girl. This is a practical, fun and affordable gift at only $21.95.

One bride recently purchased beautiful hot pink kimono robes for her bridesmaids...10 of them! She also bought a white one for herself and the photographer took fabulous shots of the wedding party in these robes. The Shirley of Hollywood charmeuse robes are sized generously (one size fits most), comes in many dazzling colors: Red, White, Royal Blue, Black, Hot Pink, Baby Pink and Yellow and are only $32.95 each.

Another welcome gift would be something from the yummy bath and body collection. Available in several adorable packages like a sweet heart shaped box and a sassy red bustier-style purse, these luxurious spa products come in heavenly fragrances like pomegranate, coconut, lavender, rose and honeysuckle. Give the gift of pampering and buy one for the exhausted bride, too! These gift sets include products like bubble bath, body butter and lotion, from $25.95.

For the men in the wedding party, try the Virile cologne from GYZ, the mens collection from Shirley of Hollywood. This warm-toned and subtle cologne is from the Lust collection and is infused with pheremones. The fragrance is reminiscent of musk with woodsy, earthy tones and a best seller at OhCheri.com. The groomsmen would also enjoy a comfy robe and the GYZ collection offers various styles from short and sexy to long and snuggly.

A thoughtful gift for your wedding party doesn't have to be expensive, and any of these gifts would show your gratitude and affection for the members of your wedding party who help make your special day complete and uniquely yours.

Best wishes for a perfect wedding and a happy marriage!
