The best lingerie for brides - a story about wedding priorities

Today we want to show you why wedding lingerie should be considered an essential part of your big day. In addition, we will take a look together at how different cultures around the world approach the subject of wedding dresses and ceremonies, from colourful outfits in India and Japan to traditional ceremonies in Africa and Europe. We will explore the diversity and beauty of wedding traditions to inspire you to create your unforgettable day.

The bride's dress in a particular culture?

In every culture, a wedding is a unique event. It is a special day, regardless of latitude, and ceremonies to mark the occasion have been celebrated for thousands of years. The shape of the ceremony depends on the traditions and religions prevalent in a particular part of the world, but also often on the wealth of the bride and groom's families.

Examples? In Arab culture, the bride's hands and feet have been decorated with henna since ancient times. At traditional Arab weddings, the bride wears a long, shoulder-covering dress, often with a hijab, and the groom wears a traditional kandura with a zibban.

In Japan, the bride wears a traditional kimono, often in intense purple, symbolising love. Instead of a veil, she wears a richly decorated hood, which is part of the kimono. The groom dresses in a formal montsuki kimono, with accessories such as hakama and haori.

In India, wedding ceremonies are colourful and full of symbolism. The bride wears a traditional sari or lehenga in red, which is considered the most auspicious colour. The hands and feet are decorated with henna and richly decorated headdresses are worn on the head.

In Africa, traditions vary widely. In Umabo, for example, the bride wears a leather skirt and headdress, while the groom wears traditional cowhide headdress. In Nigeria, during the Yoruba ceremony, the bride wears a richly decorated headdress and long skirt.

In Europe, traditions are equally rich. In Greece, wedding costumes are colourful and richly decorated, with symbols meant to protect the bride and groom from evil. Many elements of the costume have symbolic meaning, such as pomegranates and birds, which symbolise abundance and fertility.

Undoubtedly, the common denominator for all cultural circles is the question of wedding attire. "The bride and groom" are, after all, supposed to stand out decisively from all the other wedding participants. Each culture has its own unique traditions and symbolic meanings that add depth and beauty to wedding ceremonies.

And what does the Polish bride look like today?

A typical outfit is of course white dress, ladies are also increasingly opting for ecru shades. Dresses can be long, short, combined, they can have an open back or a deep neckline. They can be strapless or strapless, tied at the neck - there is a whole range of possibilities. 

Once you have chosen the perfect outfit for that special occasion, the moment comes when you need to find what to wear underneath the dress.

Wedding lingerie trends 2025

Although bridal lingerie trends are constantly evolving, there is one element that remains constant: following comfort, convenience and confidence. In 2025, bridal lingerie is becoming more and more diverse, with an emphasis on delicate lace and flesh-colours that work perfectly with traditional wedding dresses.

Delicate lace and flesh-coloured - the perfect combination

In our opinion, delicate lace and flesh colours are always and invariably the perfect duo to add definition and elegance to bridal lingerie. An example of this combination can be the lingerie set Cosmic Love Soft Cup available from Bouduar, which combines comfort with subtle style.

In 2025, bridal lingerie is becoming increasingly focused on sustainable materials and innovative technologies, providing both comfort and style. It is beginning to be treated as an integral part of the wedding lookand not just as a functional element. Therefore, choosing the right lingerie should be treated by you with equal seriousness and commitment as choosing the wedding dress itself.

In our extensive Bouduar range you will find many beautiful sets of wedding lingeriethat meet these requirements, combining tradition with modernity and comfort.

Underwear colour under the wedding dress

Choosing the colour of the lingerie underneath the wedding dress is an important decision for every bride. There are several traditional options, but the final choice depends on the preference of the bride herself. There is no rule here. The most important thing is that the chosen lingerie matches the cut of the dress and provides comfort.

Flesh-coloured lingerie is increasingly popular because it blends perfectly with skin colour, remaining invisible under the delicate fabrics of the dress. They are the best choice for those who value discretion and comfort. In addition, flesh-coloured lingerie is versatile and goes well with most bridal styles, ensuring that the entire outfit is cohesive and elegant.

What to wear under an open-back dress?

Bridal lingerie has to be special for many reasons: it has to allow you to wear the dress of your dreams, i.e. it has to take into account the back cut-outs and cleavage, must also be comfortable. The bride and groom should focus solely on the pleasures themselves on their day and nothing should get in their way. 

For ladies who opt for open-back dresses, either fitted bodysuits or lingerie sets that allow the back to be exposed are usually recommended. In this case, it is worth taking a look at our the Polish brand Bouduarwhere we focus our designs specifically on the female back.

An excellent example of such bridal lingerie can be the bodysuit Emotional Gravity. The close-fitting fabric will accentuate curves and make the bride feel free and comfortable.

Those ladies who opt for deep cleavage also needn't worry that they won't be able to find the perfect wedding lingerie for them. We are confident that our phenomenal bodysuits Impossible Love will meet the wildest expectations of even the most demanding front cutters. In fact, they should be called Impossible is Nothing. It's a great alternative to bras and stiffeners sewn into your gown. This stylish model will provide just the right amount of support and comfort on your special day and special night.

Choosing the perfect wedding lingerie

Which bridal lingerie will be best? One in which you will feel special and comfortable. We know that when looking for sensual wedding sets, it is easy to forget that we have a few or several hours of great emotions, dancing, eating, talking and other wedding activities ahead of us. Remember, however, that even the most beautiful lingerie will fail if it is not comfortable!

In order to combine sensuality and comfort, take care first of all to choosing the right size and choosing the right model. A push or hard cup bra is worth considering, but you can replace this option with a comfortable open back bodysuit that will not only accentuate your assets, but also provide comfort throughout the day.

Selected bridal lingerie should be designed to keep you confident and comfortable on your big day. That's why our collection Bouduar bridal lingerie is the perfect solution. See all the models and see if they fit your idea of a wedding day.

Underwear for the wedding night

You probably didn't think we'd send you out on your wedding night in the same lingerie you danced the entire wedding in? For the night after the wedding, it's worth having something special and... thrilling! After all, there's nothing stopping the lingerie under your wedding dress from being both comfortable and sexy.

Advice on choosing bridal lingerie

Finally, we've left some valuable tips and advice to help you choose the perfect wedding lingerie for your special day.

Flesh-coloured lingerie is ideal as it doesn't show underneath your dress and adds subtlety to your look.

Before placing an order, check your size. The right size is fundamental to ensuring comfort and discretion during the ceremony.

Pay attention to the cut of your dress and adjust your lingerie accordingly. For example, a balconette is ideal for dresses with a deep neckline, and a backless bodysuit for dresses with an open back.

Choose underwear made from breathable and soft materials that will keep you comfortable throughout the day.
