13 Gorgeous Plus Size Bridal Intimates

I'm currently planning a wedding, and while I'm finding more plus size bridal options than I expected, it's still taking some effort to locate the kind of unique, gorgeous pieces I'm looking for. While buying a plus size wedding dress turned out to be a surprisingly pleasant experience, trying to find the right lingerie that will work under my dress, but also make me feel sexy on its own, has been more difficult.

Depending on what kind of dress or outfit you want for your wedding, finding things like a good DD+ strapless bra or some pretty but comfortable (i.e. non-thong or G-string) underwear can be a huge pain. Full skirts need petticoats and crinolines to give them some extra volume, body-hugging dresses make avoiding panty lines difficult, and then there's the whole honeymoon lingerie question. I know I'll probably be far too tired after my wedding to struggle into (or out of) complex corset/garter/hosiery combos, so I'm trying to find the ideal sweet spot between easy comfort and romantic style. Then again, there are some really great high femme lingerie looks that I'm quite tempted to try.

Don't worry, though: There are plenty of cute options out there in larger sizes, and I've already done quite a bit of digging to find some of the best functional, fabulous, and inclusive intimates available for plus size brides. If you're looking for cute, pack-able sets to take with you on post-wedding adventures, a full-on goddess getup for your most extravagant fantasies, or a once-in-a-lifetime custom creation, read on for 13 bride-worthy intimates to fall in love with.
