OPEN THREAD: are you wearing a special wedding night outfit?

via

The random thought of "Do I need to buy wedding night PJs?" popped in my head. What on earth do I buy? I hate sleeping in nothing, definitely won't be sleeping in the pretty underwear either. Do I go comfy or silk nightgown? -Charlotte

Oh, wedding night lingerie. Do you really need to wear anything special on your wedding night? Absolutely not. But if you're a more theatrical type and you WANT to wear something special, there are certainly plenty of options...

DIY undies

We have the full tutorial for those I (like to) DO (it) undies up there. You can learn how to make 'em yourself, right here.

Geeky underwear

Yep, you can go the full geeky with these garters from Etsy seller Voluscious.

Theatrical

If you want to go the full dress up, of course there are options like these Edwardian Bloomers... they manage to be a bit fantastical without feeling too, well, porny. (Not that there's anything wrong with porny knickers! We just like a little variety in our dress-up....)

Super sexy

If you DO want to go more traditionally seductive for your wedding night, longtime Offbeat Bride sponsor Starkers Corsetry has recently started making THUPER THEXY bra and panty sets as part of their Undressed line. The staff of Offbeat Bride may or may not be acting as guinea pigs for new designs. They may or may not be developing a pair of underwear called The Ariel.
