curvy girls’ bridal trousseau

Well-fitted wedding lingerie is absolutely essential – and who better to break it down for you with a gorgeous garden-inspired boudoir inspiration shoot than Sweet Nothings?

Sweet Nothings is known around the web as a destination site for lingerie reviews, bra fitting advice, and editorials on body image. Not only did Sweets of Sweet Nothings model in this shoot for Kate Ignatowski Photography, but she planned & styled the whole thing as well. Make sure you catch her inspiring read throughout this editorial!

From Sweet Nothings – “So you’ve finally found your wedding dress. Maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who grabbed a dress off a rack and liked it immediately, maybe your Pinterest board has 476 dress pins and you keep spreadsheets ranking your favorites, or maybe you’ve just come from a shopping trip with all of your female relatives and your entire bridal party, and you have the dress but now you also need several cocktails. And then a slow, cruel realization dawns: you’re going to have to go bra shopping.

Don’t panic! Repeat after me: lingerie is your friend, and the alphabet doesn’t stop at D.

For well-endowed ladies in particular, the task can feel stressful and overwhelming. It can be frustratingly hard to find supportive strapless bras and other bridal essentials in fuller cup sizes, especially for brides who want their undergarments to be every bit as beautiful as their gown and decor. With so much wedding-industry emphasis on fitting into your dress on the big day, why not take a break and find gorgeous lingerie that fits YOU, rather than the other way around?”

From Sweet Nothings – “When it comes to wedding lingerie, the most important thing is that you feel good and you like the way you look. You may find that your dress has enough structure to forgo lingerie, and you may decide that you want to wear Spanx and call it a day. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and happy. But look, I’m a lingerie obsessive, and there’s stuff out there I need to share with you because it’s SO VERY PRETTY. More than that, there is some stunning lingerie designed specifically to fit and support the DD+ customer, whether she’s slim or full-figured, that looks just as beautiful on its own as it does under a gown. Let’s all have trousseaux and be fancy ladies, shall we?

Chosen especially with the fuller-busted woman in mind, we’ve curated a selection of beautiful bridal lingerie that will flatter and support – even in strapless gowns – in back sizes ranging from 28 to 48 and cup sizes from D to K. No boring beige bras here: these bridal ensembles feature beautiful satin, silk, lace, and mesh, making sure you feel as good as you look. There are options for both ceremony and honeymoon at price points ranging from budget to luxury, all stunningly photographed in a romantic, garden-inspired boudoir setting by New York City favorites Kate Ignatowski and Mimosa Floral Design Studio.

The piece includes classic bridal collections as well as brand-new releases from major American and European designers Masquerade by Panache, Parfait by Affinitas, Elomi Lingerie, Harlow & Fox, Fleur of England, and Dollhouse Bettie.

Wedding gowns aren’t one-size-fits-all, and your wedding lingerie needn’t be either.”
