Simple. Stunning. Unforgettable: What One Bride Brought to Her Boudoir Session (and Why It Was Perfect)

When it comes to boudoir, you truly don’t need a suitcase full of lingerie to have an incredible experience. One of my recent brides brought just a few simple pieces—and it turned out to be one of the most dreamy and empowering shoots ever.

Here’s what she brought:

🤍 An oversized white T-shirt
🤍 White undies
🤍 A lacy white SKIMS set
🤍 A simple white bra + undie combo
🤍 Her wedding veil

That’s it. And it was PERFECT.

Why Less Can Be More in Boudoir

Boudoir isn’t about how much you bring—it’s about how you feel. When you wear pieces that are you (whether it's a cozy tee or your wedding veil), you shine in a way that can’t be replicated.

Here are a few outfit tips inspired by this bride’s session:

✨ Keep it classic: A white bra and undie set is timeless, and looks beautiful on all skin tones.
✨ Bring the veil: It adds a soft, bridal touch and gives your shoot a personal connection to your love story.
✨ Don’t overlook comfort: That oversized tee? It made for some of the coziest, sexiest, most relaxed photos.
✨ Add texture: Lacey pieces like SKIMS sets photograph beautifully and add visual interest.
✨ Stick to a color palette: Keeping everything in the same tonal range (like whites and creams) creates a cohesive and elevated look in your final gallery.

The End Result?

This bride glowed. She was confident, relaxed, and 100% herself. And when she left, she told me:

“After college and COVID and a changing life, I finally feel like ME again.”

That’s what boudoir is really about.

So if you’re planning your shoot and feeling overwhelmed with what to wear—breathe. You don’t need ten outfits. You need a few things that feel good, fit well, and reflect you. I’ll take care of the rest. 😉
