There is so much to deal with on your big wedding day. Who wants to be wrestling with garters and snaps or struggling into girdles? The lingerie industry has realized this and is now selling a one piece bridal/lingerie stocking combo that you can just slip on and forget about for the entire day. Usually these are matching sets that come in many colors (including white, pink and blue) and include a bridal thong, bridal suspenders and bridal stockings that attaché in a way that makes it really simple to do things like visit the bathroom just before you walk up the aisle..

This type of one-piece item does not come cheeap. A good brand that is recommended by My Tights is called Asia stockings and you can get the attached thong, suspender and stocking set for about seventy bucks. These types of tights also give you choice a sheer or matte toe with a carefully worked seam that does not show if you end up wearing them with glittery sandals or an open-toed style.

A little shopping around on the net or in local bridal stores will probably turn up a similar type of lingerie stock. Just make sure you buy a set that is durable and of a high quality. Cheap sets like this tend to run very easily or just not fit so be prepared to spend a little bit of money.

Another option is to buy thigh-high stockings that stick to the leg. These are commonly known as bridal stay-ups. You can get nylon styles with polka dot or lace or look a bit like chenille. Popular colors ar white, ivory, cream, pink and blue (so you are wearing “something blue” on the big day.”

These general come in two constructions. There is the thigh high high with the gently elasticized topa nd the one with the thick vinyl tops. The larger, thicker and more rubbry the top of the stockings are the more likely they will actually stay up while you walk down the aisel.

One of the nicest styles has the top of the thigh high stocking rimmed with bunches of satin roses. You can also get them adorned with satin ribbons, rhinestones and many other details.

If you like the black and white look you will might want to spring for a pair that is bright white but that has a black inseam going up the back. The effect is very Betty Boop but also quite contemporary and very very sexy.

If you love perfume and aromatherapy then you might be very interested in trying out hydrosols.  Hydrosols are simply the pleasantly scented wastewaters that are left behind after essential oils are extracted from plant matter using steam.  Many hydrosols are quite fragrant and do contain some of the healing properties that were in the original essential oils. They are particularly useful for very delicate skin that has an allergic reaction to essential oils or frangrances.  Floral oils are also sometimes called hydrolats, essential waters herbal waters or distillate waters.

Hydrosols are much gentler on the skin and do not need to be applied with a carrier oil. They can also be added to the bath directly or used as a cologne or body spray without any danger of sensitization to the skin.The two most popular floral waters on the market are rose water and orange flower water.

Rose water is the by-product of the production of rose oil.  It is so pure that it can be used flavor food.  This is often the case in India and Asia where rose oil is used to flavor salads, rices, curries and esserts.  It is a common ingredient in Turkish Delight and is also added to rice pudding and cocktail.  In Europe it is used to flavor marzipan and as a substitute for wine in cooking.  Gourmands love to eat scones and marshmallows flavored with delicate rose oil. In both the east and west it is found in lemonades and cocktails.

Orange flower water, also known as orange blossom water is the distillation of fresh bitter-orange blossom. It turns up in a great deal of gourmet cooking. In Morroco it is used to flavor traditional sweets and it is also given to guests to wash their hands in between the course of a meal.  In Europe it is used to flavor madelaines and in the United States it flavors cocktails such as the Ramos Gin Fizz.

However aside from being edible these floral waters are also very good for the skin.  They retain some of the qulities of orange and rose essential oils which are used to calm and soothe irritated skin as well as help it attract water so that it looks more youthful.

Another use for rose and orange floral waters is blessing yourself or a space and to attract good vibes in general.  Some people add it to their laundry so their clothing smells nice.
