Fabrics 

You need to be very mindful while choosing the fabric. Wearing a thick fabric bra in the monsoon or summer will cause you discomfort – all your mind will be on throwing away that bra. Likewise, for winter, you can’t go for a cotton or polyamide bra. You’ll have to go for velvet fabrics or warmer fabrics alike. 

So as per season, go for fabrics that are high-quality, breathable, comforting, and supportive. For summers, go for breathable, lightweight cotton, and soft polyamide bras which have lace detailing to give you the regal look. And as the temperature dips, switch to thick fabrics. Explore styles that have intricate embroidery on them to complement your wedding lengha/gown.

Styles

There are zillion styles of bridal bras. Let’s learn about them one by one.

Bralette 

For summer brides, wearing a bra & a blouse will be exhausting, so going for bralettes will be a thoughtful decision. Ideal for pheras, bachelorette, and cocktails, this piece phenomenally merges with heavily embroidered lehengas, sheers tops and flirty one-pieces. This comes in sexy lace, strappy ones to underwired padded, for you to fashion it up in multiple ways.

Balconette

Don’t let that low-cut dress go to waste in your bra-drobe. Style those deep, sexy boatneck or square neckline pieces with a balconette bra. The coverage this bra provides is slightly more than a half cup which just covers an inch over the nipple line. To make the most of it, pair it with your wedding lengha because of the heaviness of lengha, and the additional weight of the blouse makes it more hard for the bride. Its stylish lookbook misleads everyone that it’s a blouse and not a bra. 

Plunge

If you’ve got a plunging choli or a reception gown, a plunge bra is the best to pair. It creates an illusion of bigger busts as they push the breasts together. The best part is that its versatile nature lets you style it just beyond the cocktail attire.

Push-up Bra

Bridal cholis and blouses are all embroidered and can flatten your bust instead of giving you that royal bridal look. That’s why you must own a push-up coz it gives the exact lift your breasts need. Comes in levels 1, 2 and 3 with each level giving you a gentle lift to the breasts as per your body’s need. Own a push-up bra and achieve that jaw-dropping look you dream of.

Strapless Bra

Forget those basic designed cholis. Now racerback, tube, and off-shoulder outfits are the new trend in the market. Having a pair of strapless bras can eliminate the worry of not getting the chance to wear a strapless choli. Pair this strapless bra for flawless support and a smooth, uninterrupted look for your cocktail parties, bachelorette, reception and honeymoon. Comes in a wide range from padded, push-up, underwired, silicon etc and the supportive cups, and secure back bands eliminate the worry of strap slippage.

Backless 

Flaunt that glamorous backless dress you always WANTED to style with the help of a backless bra. The invisible straps and bands eliminate the complete need for stick-on bras and the fear of back-strap peekaboos. Now you know the right fabric and styles and the correct ways to style, it won’t be hard for you to make a mindful decision in choosing the right bridal bra for your big day. Go and style what you always envisioned. And cherish every moment – from joyous giggles to heartfelt tears.
