6 Tasteful Ways to Be a Sexy Bride

Being a sexy bride doesn't have to mean doing anything tasteless, vulgar or rude. There are plenty of ways to show off your sexy side on this very special day and still be the beautiful, radiant bride you are.

Why Be Sexy?

Being sexy means different things to different women, but all of them lead to beauty and confidence. A beautiful, confident bride will have a radiant smile, glowing skin, bright eyes, an assured stride, and easy grace on her wedding day, all characteristics that every bride wants reflected in her wedding photos. Even brides who may not ordinarily feel their sexy side can take steps to embrace this inner beauty and feel sexier on their wedding day.

Tips to Be a Sexy Bride

There are six easy ways to feel sexy and beautiful all day long, from first waking up on the wedding day to walking down the aisle to starting the honeymoon off with a sexy spark.

1. Preparing for Sexiness

A confident bride feels sexy all day long, beginning with pampering on the wedding morning. A luxurious bubble bath with scented oils can sooth nerves and muscles, calming the bride and making her feel both clean and relaxed. A massage is also a great wedding morning stress reliever that can awaken muscles and sharpen sensations for an exciting day. This helps set the stage for sexiness.

2. Lingerie Choices

How a bride dresses beneath her wedding gown can help her feel sexy. Above all, the lingerie - hosiery, bra, corset, crinoline, garter, etc. - should be properly sized for a smooth, comfortable fit, but it is easy to add a touch of sexiness to even the most functional garments. Opt for racy colors - red, black, or the groom's favorite color - for a touch of hidden sexy naughtiness the groom will discover that night, or choose matching lingerie with elegant lace or other accents that make it just as beautiful as it is necessary.

3. Boudoir Photos

A sexy photo shoot can show a bride just how beautiful she is. Many wedding photographers won't mind including some boudoir poses in the morning photography session, such as the bride posing in nothing but her bridal lingerie, shoes, wedding veil, and jewelry. These photos not only show off the bride's sexiness, but can be a fantastic wedding gift for the groom. Brides who aren't quite confident enough for a full boudoir shoot may choose a sexy bride Halloween costume for some fun photos, or opt for pinup style poses as part of the traditional wedding day photography.

4. Sexy Wedding Dresses

A bride's wedding dress should always show offer her best assets, and many dresses can do so in a sexy way without being too revealing or otherwise inappropriate for the occasion. A bride with a sexy chest, for example, may want to choose a dress that highlights her cleavage with sensual curves and beading, while a bride with sexy thighs may choose a dress with a fitted skirt and elegant lines. Sexy arms call for strapless or sleeveless designs, while sexy calves are best with a wedding dress featuring a shorter skirt or a hi-low hem.

5. High Heels

A bride who stumbles through her wedding day won't feel sexy, no matter what type of dress she wears or what lingerie is underneath it. High heels automatically lift the rear and encourage better posture for a confident stride, but brides who aren't accustomed to heels should choose wedding shoes with lift they are comfortable with. Trying different shoes several weeks before the wedding and practicing walking, turning, and dancing can allow any bride to opt for high heels on her wedding day to give her a sexy, confident walk down the aisle.

6. Sexy Wedding Night

Many couples are so exhausted by the festivities of the wedding day that sexy is the last thing they feel on their wedding night. Brides can add a sexy spark to that night by enlisting an accomplice to help make the proper arrangements. Reserving a honeymoon suite is a good first step, and opt for additional details such as scented candles, chilled champagne, rose petals on the bed, and a bubble bath for two to give the night a soothing sensuality both the bride and groom will enjoy. Many hotels have honeymoon packages with these types of details included, or the bride can ask one of her friends or attendants to help ensure the right arrangements are made before the happy couple enters the hotel room.

How Not to Be Sexy

There is a fine line between being sexy and being something rather less attractive - no bride wants to be considered a tramp or sleaze, least of all on her wedding day. To avoid going over the line unintentionally, remember...

*Sexy is about beauty and confidence, not the act of sex. Avoid behavior that is too risqué, such as too intimate kissing with the groom or other body motions that can be easily misinterpreted.

*Demure actions are often far more sexy than overt behavior. Refrain from vulgar or tasteless displays and instead tantalize your groom with sensual suggestions.

*Always consider the audience of your wedding and keep your sexiness appropriate to the venue. While a few friends may understand a particular joke or action, others may misinterpret your actions with unflattering results.

Above all, a sexy bride feels secure, confident, and beautiful. Taking steps to showcase your sexiness on your wedding day can make you the stunning bride you know you can be.
