Today's Bridal Trousseau
Today's bridal trousseau consists of the going away outfit, honeymoon attire and those special pieces of lingerie you may have purchased for your wedding.
While beautiful cedar hope chests are still manufactured and sold today, they're not as commonly used as a "hope chest" by young women. Nonetheless, a woman preparing for a wedding, honeymoon, and new life certainly needs new things as well as a place to store them.
For most brides, gifts for the home accumulate quickly at engagement, shower, and wedding parties, thanks to the generosity of friends and family. Cash gifts and items taken from one's former home help to fill in the balance.
So what's left to purchase for the modern trousseau? New clothes, vacation wear, lingerie, and possibly luggage.
What belongs in your own trousseau?
Things that make sense for your lifestyle and little things that you cherish. Maybe a few new clothing items to stretch your existing wardrobe and one or two new outfits. Remember, your not having an image makeover; you're just collecting some new things you probably need anyway.
If you normally sleep in a T-shirt, you may feel silly on your wedding night in a long, flowing negligee, but a short, sexy, white-satin chemise can certainly help you feel like a bride on your special night. And that's one instance when the groom will likely appreciate your new trousseau, too.
