Honeymoon Swimwear Makes a Splash!

If you are like most brides, a nice relaxing honeymoon to a tropical destination sounds very tempting in the midst of stressful wedding planning.  What better way to unwind and clear your head than on a white sandy beach, with a Mai Tai in your hand?  Ready to pack your bags?  We thought so.  But hopefully not before you think about your honeymoon attire.  And like most people who vacation in the tropics, your swimwear will be your outfit of choice for most of the trip.  And that stretched out swimsuit from 4 years ago is not going to do the trick.

After all, this is your wedding and honeymoon and there is no better time to think about looking your best.  Luckily for women of every size, there are many sexy and flattering options.

Unflattering one-piece suits are a thing of the past.  The new trend are suits that use bold prints to camouflage flaws and deep necklines to accentuate the bust.  Suits like the one picture above will flatter any figure.

Looking to show a little more skin but need some extra support?  A bikini with a built in underwire and halter-top neck can provide a flattering boost to your bust as well as the support you need.  Many bikinis also have removable inserts, if you desire less cleavage.

String Bikini’s never go out of style.  For any bride desiring to show a little more skin, this is the perfect option.  Also take notice to the type of bikini bottom that is best for your figure.  If you desire more coverage, stay away from brazilian cut bottoms, which only provide minimum coverage of your backside.

Walking around on the beach in a bikini may be fine but most of us want to cover-up a little when we head indoors or to a restaurant.  Don’t forget to pack comfortable, easy cover-ups.  The right cover-up will flatter your figure and allow you to transition effortlessly from the beach, to other activities and back again.

And of course, don’t forget to have fun.  Swimwear is a wonderful opportunity to wear bold, fun prints and make a splash!  Happy travels!

A Sophisticated and Sexy Bachelorette Party

Your Maid of Honor is probably hard at work planning you a spectacular bachelorette party.  While the traditional stripper-esque bachelorette parties can be good for a laugh, many women would prefer a classier, quieter evening where they can simply spend time with their closest girlfriends.

Instead of the customary gag gifts that seem to flourish at bachelorette parties, today’s sophisticated brides would prefer to have guests purchase items they will actually use.  A lingerie gifting party is the perfect solution.   This is a wonderful way to ensure that you receive plenty of sexy, sophisticated items.

A popular trend for bachelorette parties is to create a lingerie registry and add the online link directly to your invitations.  This way, you can be assured you will receive items that you want, in the correct sizes and the most flattering styles for your body type.  You can also be sure you will receive a good mix of special items and more practical, everyday items that you can use after your wedding and honeymoon.

Many brides consider a lingerie registry but would prefer to keep these items separate from their traditional “Bed Bath & Beyond” registries.  After all, do you really want grandma buying you a new teddy for your wedding night?  Adding your Lingerie Registry to your bachelorette party invitations, where you will only have your closest girlfriends, is the perfect solution and makes gift giving effortless for your bachelorette party guests.

Lingerie Please?

Ahh Lingerie. A very essential and sometimes overlooked item when it comes to planning a wedding. Sure, brides can always have a bridal shower or bachelorette party and hope that maybe someone will get you some lingerie but who knows better than you what flatters your figure the most? Do you prefer thongs, boyshorts, babydolls, shapewear, or maybe you need a swimsuit for your tropical honeymoon? Choosing lingerie is a very personal decision and no two brides are the same.
