Bridal Underwear - Balcony Bras

Penelope Simpson Lingerie shoot by James Burton Balcony BraBridal Undies. A rarely spoken about subject here at WeddingDates but a none the less vital part of any woman’s wedding. Well we’ve noticed a new trend in bridal underwear and bras in general over the last few years and felt it was our duty to break the silence we’ve had on bridal underwear.

 Balcony Bra

Balcony bras! Or Balconette bras as they are sometimes referred to have been cropping up in shops for some time now and are in the opinion of the WeddingDates crew a lovely combination of sexy and cute. A balcony bra features wideset straps that create a square neckline, offering you strong support in the band but don’t get in the way of a low cut neckline. Perfect if you’re wearing a sleeved dress (we’d love to see more of them. Is anyone else sick of strapless?), they have a certain Romeo and Juliet style romance to them.

 Balcony Bra

So, who should wear a balcony bra?

  • Anyone from an A – C cup will suit this style of bra
  • If your dress is long sleeved and fitted, there are corset balcony bras
  • If you’re looking for a cute vintage throwback bra set
  • If you want to amp up your cleavage a little bit
If you’re to test out balcony bras before taking the plunge (no pun intended), try Floozie at Debenhams. They use gorgeous materials as well as cute, whimsical patterns. Plus there’s always a great find in the sale section!
