How to Buy Wedding Lingerie

Guys - let's face it. We don't know the first thing about buying a bra and panties. And it's awkward to walk into Victoria's Secret and have the staff loudly point: "Well, if you don't know her bra size, how does she compare to that sales person there?" Before fumbling around in her drawers to find her size, read GroomGroove.com's lingerie buying guide and get savvy. It's not just for wedding night - this guide will help you buy your wife lingerie at key moment in your romantic life together.

Wedding Day Lingerie

After you've said "I do," and your eyes have adjusted from all the camera flashes, you've danced until you almost dropped, and you've brushed off (almost) all of the confetti, you and your new wife will finally be alone again. This is your own private after-party, and although she may be a missus, your bride deserves to look just as amazing between the sheets as she did at the altar. But finding the perfect number for your spanking-new bride can be just as trying as picking out an engagement ring. GroomGroove.com has a few helpful hints for finding the right little garment that will be just as pleasing to her as it is for you, and won't make too much of a dent in your wedding budget.

The Bridal Shower

Grooms should know that, traditionally, the maid of honor will buy the bride an outfit for wedding night. However, this gift doesn't show up at every bridal shower. A groom whose bride has already received lingerie can save his purchase for the first night of the honeymoon or first anniversary.

"But it looked so good on Naomi Campbell..."

Yes, this is a mistake many guys will make more than once before they learn what really suits the woman who will be wearing this practically non-existent gift.

No matter how amazing that corset looks on the model (and take a second and third look to determine if it's even the corset or just Gisele wearing anything), this gift will be a huge disappointment if it turns out to be all wrong for your bide. If your fiancée's figure is similar to one of the models on the lingerie site or in the catalogue, you will have a much better shot at finding something that at least fits her well. If not, you will have to rely on your memory of the lingerie she already has and likes to determine what will work.

TO: Offended Bride I would rather wear lingerie and feel sexy for my husband (who thinks I am sexy no matter what I put on) than nothing at all. How do you know who created lingerie? Just because it's been around a while doesn't mean a woman didn't have a say in it's making. That is chauvinistic to think that only men could come up with something like that to make the sex life for married couples better. Sex between husband and wife can be as hot and steamy as the sex men seek out from prostitutes as long as long as they can communicate with each other and be open and honest. Maybe if you were more relaxed your husband would be comfortable enough to share what he really wants. I wouldn't be surprised if he cheats on you later because your not willing to try different things. And I really hope you read this one day.

I'd love it if my husband bought me lingerie...because that would show me that he stills thinks my body is sexy, just his, and wants me to show it off for just him... O! Wait!! He does! And I play "dress up" for him often...its kinda like when you wear the hot bra and panties when you know you'll have sex with someone for the first time. Only...with my husband, its like that every time! Its called: "spicing things up." After 20 years, we still don't need much spice, but this does it! PS: My boobs look GREAT when I wear my corset all day...it gets me really geared up for that night, especially when he sees me putting it on after my shower, and knows I'm wearing it during lunch! Try it. Don't be so damn uptight. You'll give yourself a heart attack.

Wow! I'm suprised that the idea of buying your future wife lingerie could be considered chauvanistic. The article doesn't suggest that men force their wife into bondage gear (unless thats what she's into). I'd be thrilled if my partner bought me something beautiful to wear! Or maybe a fun costume for roll playing? Tough roller derby chick that wears skates to bed? I personally feel empowered enough to express sexuality in what ever way I so choose. Offended Bride, if lingerie makes you feel humiliated, don't go there! But speak for yourself! Not all women feel objectified by chauvinistic men in the bedroom.

Well, first off I'm not trying to be rude to you or any thing, but rather morely informative. Most guys aren't really that interested in the lingerie. Guys tend to like girls to be uncovered rather than covered. Some girls I know that have spoken of lingerie (including my fiance) say that they enjoy it because they like getting dressed up. It makes them feel sexy. So I'm sure that this site isn't under the idea that men should force thier wives to wear lingerie, but rather support their wives in the things they like doing.

To "Offended Bride," I wish you'll come back upon this page one day just to see how ignorant you sound. You have someone wanting to marry you with an attitude like that?! I'm sure he doesn't want to see you in the lingerie as much as you don't want to put it on if you talk like that.

It's refreshing to see a page dedicated to the men out there. Keep it coming. The man should be involved in the planning as much as the woman. And they should be excited about it too. It's their day to celebrate and while it usually is focused on the bride, it takes two to marry as it will take two to have some fun in this sexy lingerie that you are talking about. So enjoy men. Your reward for helping is seeing us in nothing that night.

To the "Offended Bride," if my bride was truly turned on by me wearing a banana-hammock, heck yes I would wear it for her. Most women feel sexy when they look sexy. If that doesn't make you feel sexy, then you shouldn't wear it! I think most guys would have an idea as to whether or not their brides would be offended by it.

Sorry but you should make sure your wife actually wants to wear this stuff. Lingerie was not invented for women's pleasure - it was invented for men's. If my fiance shows up with some tiny lingerie on the night of our wedding, or on the honeymoon, or anytime later in life, I will slap him. I am not a playtoy, I am human being. Would like your wife to buy you a thong banana hammock and say, "Look honey I bought you something special. Why don't you put it on for me.?" Some women find dancing around in lingerie humiliating (and no I am not a fat beast, I was a cheerleader, runner, etc) so just watch yourselves and try not to be chauvinistic.
