Bridal Style: Bridal Lingerie Guide – Choosing the Perfect Pieces for Wedding

When it comes to your wedding, every detail matters – including what you wear underneath your dress. Bridal lingerie might not get as much attention as the gown or shoes, but it plays an important role in helping you feel comfortable and confident. Finding the perfect pieces can enhance your confidence, comfort, and experience on your special day. Here’s a guide to help you pick the right lingerie for your big day.

1. Start with the Dress in Mind

The foundation of selecting bridal lingerie begins with your wedding dress. The style, fabric, and cut of the dress will largely determine the type of lingerie you should wear. Here’s how to match your lingerie to your dress style:

  • Strapless or Off-the-Shoulder Dresses: Opt for a strapless bra or a corset to give you support while keeping your neckline clear.
  • Backless Dresses: Stick to adhesive bras, low-back bras, or stick-on cups to maintain a seamless look.
  • Body-Hugging Silhouettes: Choose seamless shapewear or smoothing underwear to avoid visible lines.
  • Ball Gowns or A-line Dresses: You can afford more playful lingerie like lacy sets or garter belts since the fuller skirt provides more room.

Always bring your dress (or a similar one) when shopping for lingerie to ensure the pieces work well together.

Alyson and Dylan’s Beautiful Barn Wedding in Ohio by Linen & Elm Photography

Today I am taking you to Ohio for the gorgeous Barn wedding of Alyson and Dylan who were married on 9th September 2024 at Cedar Bay Farm. The barn comes with plenty of history, being built in 1855 and brings with it a rustic nature to any of the weddings being held there. Alyson and Dylan have some beautiful moments in this wedding, including their first look, as well as some great portrait photos. I love the vibrant blue of the men’s suits, as well as the pretty pastels of the flowers. Big thanks to Linen & Elm Photography for the photos.

Bridal Style: A Contact Lens Guide to Look and See Your Best on Your Wedding Day

When it comes to bridal looks, your choice of eye makeup plays a significant role in drawing attention to your face and enhancing your natural features. As such, a previous post provides tried-and-tested eye makeup tips, such as using an eyeshadow primer to increase staying power and prevent creasing and opting for waterproof mascara and eyeliner.

However, if you’re a bride who wears eyeglasses to correct vision problems like myopia and astigmatism, it helps to consider switching to contact lenses, even if it’s only for your wedding day. Contact lenses can provide seamless corrected vision without taking the attention away from your eye makeup. Unlike prescription glasses, contacts also do not cause any unwanted glare that can affect your wedding photos.

Whether this is your first time wearing contact lenses or not, the following tips will help you look and feel your best on your special day.

Get an eye exam first

If you plan to wear contact lenses to look natural without sacrificing clear vision, it’s best to schedule an eye exam appointment weeks ahead of your wedding. A qualified eye care professional can test your visual acuity and update your contact lenses according to your prescription. An eye exam can also be an opportunity to get your contact lenses properly fitted and ensure you don’t feel any pain or discomfort when you wear them on your wedding day.

Opt for soft lenses

The increasing popularity and adoption of contact lenses means there are various designs and materials to choose from, but soft contact lenses are most commonly prescribed in the UK, accounting for 98% of new fits. This type of contact lens is typically made of materials like silicone hydrogel, which is highly flexible and enables oxygen to permeate the surface of the eye.

Whether you wear your contacts for a few hours or the entire day from ceremony to reception, opting for this lens material means your eyes will stay comfortable and are less prone to drying.

Boho Pins: Top 10 Pins of the Week – Autumn Weddings

As we have now reached the month of October it is officially Autumn wedding season in wedding land. So today on Boho Pins we are looking at autumn wedding ideas. If you are a lover of all things fall or autumn (depending what side of the pond you live) then you will love the fact that we are now moving into colder months, and darker nights. The leaves are changing colour, leaving a golden hue around our countryside. Crisp walks in the woods, soft tones of browns oranges and golden yellows are al around us. For weddings this means hot cider, blankets, candles, open fires and cosy receptions. So today I look back on some of the beautiful autumn weddings I have featured on the blog as I bring to you my favourite autumn wedding ideas.

Snorkeling at Molokini Crater

If you have plans to snorkel in Maui, then you should book a tour to the Molokini crater where you can snorkel from a catamaran. Since the crater is partly submerged, there is no sand surrounding the snorkel site, meaning you have a clear underwater visibility of up to 150 feet.

Other snorkeling spots to explore in Maui include the Turtle Town, officially called Maluaka Beach, and Coral Gardens. These destinations are great for seeing the humpback whales and swimming with turtles and tropical fish.

Outrigger Canoe Experience

If you’ve ever seen a vintage Hawaii postcard, then you’ve probably seen an outrigger canoe. These canoes were originally used by the natives to sail through the Hawaiian Islands. Today, tourists paddle them to different attraction sites while learning about Hawaiian culture.

So if you’re interested in learning about the history, culture, and marine life of Hawaii, then a sailing canoe tour is a great alternative to a museum visit. A tour guide will be with you throughout, teaching you the names of places and marines and directing you to the best attraction site for epic photos.
