Ever wonder how the celebrities walk down the red carpet in those clingy dresses and never show an unsightly bulge or dimple? It's not because they all have rock-hard bodies without an ounce of fat -- they wear Spanx!
A lot of brides spend a lot of time and money on the sexy undergarments they plan to wear for the wedding night, but an equal amount of thought should go into what goes under the dress during the wedding -- after all, they're both going to end up on the floor, right? A lacy little something might make a big impression on your fiance, and of course that's important. However, you want to wear something for the wedding and reception that helps to flatter your physique and feels comfy-cozy.
Spanx is certainly not the only company offering body-shaping lingerie, but it's the brand you'll hear about most often on the red carpet, and if it's good enough for Scarlett Johansson, it's certainly good enough for me. The key is to find something that helps hide your flaws, if you have any, and works beautifully with your dress. A line of Spanx's Body Shapers is available to minimize love handles, cellulite, and waistline spillage, which can come in handy not only for the bride, but for her bridesmaids as well as MOB and MOG. Just because they're unmentionables, don't be afraid to mention them to your friends. What a lifesaver!
