After last month’s post on how to book your perfect, relaxing getaway to somewhere romantic for a dream honeymoon with your new hubby, there is one detail you can’t forget: the perfect outfit for your special vacation. Many times buying lingerie can be a daunting or difficult task, but not to worry! Emily Tulloh of Beloved Intimates has you covered:
My main piece of advice is not to forget. Planning a wedding is time consuming and I know how easy it is to let some of the personal details fall to the wayside. Set aside the time for yourself and enjoy the experience of shopping for a few key pieces of lingerie for the wedding and honeymoon. Both are one time events – you can’t go back in time, so make the most of every detail and personal touch. As a bride, you should feel confident, beautiful, and special, and your lingerie is a big part of this! Brides should start building up their intimates wardrobe as they enter into this new stage of life – from specialty lingerie pieces to the quality, everyday basics and we can help every step of the way!
The Green Hills store is elegant and modern with sales professionals that are equipped to help you find the perfect fit – whether you are looking for stylish and sexy undergarments for the honeymoon or comfortable and flattering essentials to wear under your bridal gown. Emily explains how Beloved truly does have something for everyone:
A stop at Beloved absolutely must go on every bride’s “to do” list. We carry over 40 lingerie brands, and nearly all of them are unique to the region and cannot be found in any other stores. In addition, we offer some essentials for the bride – from practical bras and shapewear for under her wedding dress, to truly unique wedding night and honeymoon lingerie. We will soon be featuring a custom line of garters that will be designed for and carried exclusively at Beloved. Oh, and we carry a line of washes, lotions, and sprays by The Laundress to help the bride properly care for her growing lingerie wardrobe. My background is in lingerie design and these are the brands that I love – so I can speak to the product, advise you on what brands and pieces fit your budget and style, and provide a fitting experience that guarantees that you will be in the right size!
Her advice on picking the perfect lingerie??
The key is to focus on your own individual assets – choose lingerie that is going to accentuate what you like best about yourself. If you have a curvy, hourglass figure, play it up with a sexy corset or a longtime bra that is going to flatter your small waist and make your curves look amazing. If you are less pleased with your midsection, but love your legs, go for a teddy, structured bustier, or sexy chemise with garters and stockings. These styles will cover your midsection and put the spotlight on your amazing legs. If you have a more slender or athletic body, I think it is nice to go for a high wasted panty and a padded, demi cup bra or a sexy corset bra. These styles give your body a more feminine silhouette and look best on your leaner frame.
And the bridal registry is a breeze – not to mention perfect for lingerie showers or bridesmaids looking for a great Bachelorette party gift. It’s as easy as visiting the Green Hills store, giving your sizes and trying on lingerie as Emily’s team records all of your favorite styles and brands.
If you are having a lingerie shower, I encourage you to come in and create a registry – we will record your sizes in the system as well as a list of all of the pieces that you would like to be part of your bridal “trousseau”! We also host private, after-hours lingerie showers here in the store. Guests can take advantage of personal bra fittings, sip some champagne, and take advantage of the group shopping discount to gift the bride and themselves! It is a great way for the bridal party to spend time together and have fun gifting the bride (and themselves) in a private setting. This private show room is a classy and fun alternative to the typical bachelorette party.
