Much is made of the dress when planning a wedding, but silky underthings and supportive underpinnings should not be forgotten. Brides looking for tasteful, well-made lingerie head to Salua (Madrona, 1406 34th Ave.; 206.419.6704; salualingerie.com), a lingerie boutique opened in February by designer Shadia K’David to showcase her line of the same name. Pulling from her mother Yolanda Navarro’s 22 years of expertise in lingerie, K’David designs corsets panties, bralettes, nighties and negligees, which are then manufactured in her native Colombia. The well-organized and airy shop is full of underpinnings for your dress or an ensemble for the wedding night. Salua’s ethereal chemises and sheer baby doll nighties maintain a feminine silhouette that doesn’t sacrifice sexiness, and its vintage-inspired rompers and silky slips are as sultry as they are sophisticated. A bonus: Many pieces are a silk/cotton blend, which means they’re incredibly comfortable to wear during the honeymoon and beyond.
