Getting married? Congratulations on one of the most exciting times of your life! But between cake taste testing and licking invitation envelopes, don’t forget to take some time for yourself.
I know I say this a lot, but self-care is more than face masks and bubble baths. It goes way deeper than that. Wedding planning can be a really stressful time in your life, especially when you’re managing the (sometimes kinda overbearing) expectations of basically everyone you know.
As the bride-to-be, a boudoir session is the perfect way to treat yourself when your wedding agenda might feel more like a whirlwind. The best part? It’s self-care that keeps giving back. Here’s why booking a boudoir session is just about the greatest wedding gift you can give yourself AND your spouse.
A Boudoir Session Is For You…
An upcoming wedding is the perfect time to celebrate the uniquely beautiful you. You’re already getting that mani/pedi, so why not show it off with a little va-va-voom in a specialized boudoir photoshoot? Give yourself the confidence boost to KILL IT on your wedding day and maybe even get to know a new side of yourself.
If you’re already an established household and you don’t need anymore towels, consider having a lingerie shower instead of a traditional bridal shower. Get professionally fitted so you know what bra size to share, and create a registry somewhere like Zola where you can add anything from anywhere you’d like. You can also add gift certificates for Blossom Boudoir to your registry!
…And For Them
You’ve found your special someone, why not give them a gift to put that stupid-adorable grin on their face? (Or even a look of shock if they weren’t expecting it!) A fine art album of your boudoir session is a perfect wedding gift and a perfect keepsake of this super exciting time! (And you’ll definitely win when it comes to wedding gifts).
Afraid of anyone else seeing the album? The Personal Peepshow 3D Image Viewer is the perfect little something that you can give your soon-to-be spouse the morning of the wedding. You know, just to give them a little taste of what’s to come. It’s something for their eyes only, so no one will be able to look over their shoulder to sneak a peek. Then present them with the album that night after the wedding, or on your honeymoon when it’s just the two of you.
Who Doesn’t Love An Excuse for a Friends’ Day?
Even if you don’t love to shop, you probably have friends who do. Grab your friends for a fun day of lingerie shopping and throw in a fantastic lunch for good measure. Shopping with your faithful fan club is a great way to stretch your creative options, not to mention getting some great feedback from people who love you to pieces.
So study my What to Wear Guide. Do a little research planning ahead of time to get an idea of what styles you’d love for your boudoir session, and have fun!
Also: a lot of brides receive lingerie gift cards as shower gifts (and if you don’t, now you know what to ask for!) so don’t forget to bring those gift cards with you when you go shopping!
Explore Your Options
In a perfect world, picking out lingerie would be a class offered at puberty when you’re forced to start wearing a bra. But let’s face it, no matter how many catalogs you peruse, you probably haven’t pinned down your favorite lingerie type yet. It’s a difficult thing to figure out when our bodies are so built so beautifully different.
In my What to Wear Guide, I explain what to look for (and what to avoid) when shopping for lingerie. A boudoir session is the perfect time to explore your options! If you’ve ever had the urge to go bold with a print, do it now!
Whether you go for an oversized sweater and a cute thong, a bodysuit, or a garter belt and stocking look (or all of the above), you’re going to look amazing and totally rock your boudoir session.
Document Your Body Now
Why not document your body now with a boudoir session, as you enter into this new stage of life. If you’re like most people, you’ll probably start a family soon. As the saying goes, in 20 years you’ll regret what you didn’t do—not what you did. Commemorate this special time in your life by capturing the moment in a whole new way. Because you’re worth it. And when you look back, you’ll thank your past self that you made the investment.
