16 Things I Wish I Knew Before My Boudoir Experience
We know that for so many Divas, as the date of your Boudoir Experience approaches you find yourself half excited and half terrified. First things first, we want you to know how normal that is. The nerves are expected and, dare we say it, a GOOD thing. It means you’re pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and doing something important to you!
However, saying that, we understand that you might need some reassurance so we took to the Divine Divas Girls Only Group to ask everyone what they wish they knew before their Boudoir Experiences - whether it be about their outfits, poses or nerves. This is what they said.
I wish I knew….
“How lovely you all are - and totally non-judgemental!”
“How incredibly relaxed it would be.”
“That a plain colour for lingerie is best - more like black or red. Also, make sure any labels are cut off!”
“Not to be shy about any ideas you want to try out - including topless! The photographer is more than happy to work with you.”
“That I don’t need dozens of clothes changes! I only changed twice!”
“Not to be scared! You’ll have a fantastic time and enjoy yourself!”
“To trust the make-up artist with your hair and make up. After all, she’s the expert! Seriously, she will know what will look good in the photos so just go for it!”
“How empowering it would be! I went back a second time just to see what difference the confidence makes!”
“Not to buy too many clothes! Although I received very good advice from the team, I obviously didn’t listen haha!”
“How quickly you will feel comfortable - and how brave and courageous you will be.”
“Just how much bloody fun I’d have!”
“That you can’t bend down when you’re wearing a corset! I had never worn one before… the shoe changes with my gorgeous photographer were hilarious!”
“That I just needed to remember to breathe and that you feel comfortable within seconds!”
“Your nerves are put at ease the moment you walk through the door. Also, you don’t need to spend a lot on new items! I went looking for some new pieces but just ended up using what I already had.”
“How much I would laugh! I enjoyed the photographers helping me out with the poses too, my photographers ‘pop’ pose made me giggle.”
“To smile because no matter how nervous you feel, it doesn’t show on the outside!”
We can’t help but agree with every single one of these! What everyone says is true - don’t doubt yourself! You can get past the nerves and be daring enough to enjoy a life changing, empowering Boudoir Experience - the hardest bit is getting through the door!
