When it comes to getting married, many women feel that they need to specifically buy white lingerie. Although this is traditional, many women are finding that not only is not wearing white lingerie on your wedding night is becoming quite normal, so is every aspect of our lives. Let’s face it- tradition is slowly weaning away as the years progress. Many people are not only starting their own traditions, but just being individuals. Wedding night lingerie is put in place to be exciting and fun. It is a chance to really enjoy yourself as a new couple.

The “white” in wedding attire originally started off in popularity during the Victorian Era. This was due to the fact that Queen Victoria chose to wear a white lace dress, more notably now as the “wedding dress”.

So what are the theories on what white means?

1. Related to the symbolism of color, it means having the innocence of a child and being pure at heart.
2. The monarch wanted to have lace sales excel.
3. Symbolism of virginity.

So- being that we have not yet concluded on why we where white- what is the big deal? If you want to get that sexy red garter set or that seductive black set- do it. There is no one stopping you from getting these items.

The moral of the story is to get what you know you and your husband will enjoy. After all, the night is about both of you!
