Posted by Sherri Caudell Brennan

As promised, Kiki de Montparnasse is back to answer some of your questions.

from Kiki's signature bridal lingerie line, called the Muse

From Brides Guide reader Ashley: What would you suggest for plus-size brides? I'm very curvy, and most things are just too small for me.

Kiki de Montparnasse: We celebrate women of all sizes and shapes and take great pride in empowering all women to feel beautiful and sensual. In our minds, a romantic wardrobe not only looks great, it also enhances your body and spirit. If you prefer a little more coverage, choose looser styles made with flowy fabrics, like our silk crinkle chiffon caftan, empire dress, and racerback top (shown below) -- they fit a range of sizes and shapes. The best thing to do is to come in (or call or email us) for a complimentary private consultation and fitting. That way, we can help you find a style that fits you perfectly and leaves you feeling confident and gorgeous -- which is how every bride should feel!

From Bride's Guide reader AC: I'm a groom-to-be. Do you have any suggestions for pre-wedding lingerie gifts or anything else for my fiancee in the months leading up to our big day?

KDM: Lingerie is, of course, our specialty, and we don't know any woman who wouldn't love to get a lacy pre-wedding gift. Our bath, body, and aphrodisiac fragrance lines and our fine jewelry and fashion accessory collections are also very popular. We like to work with grooms to create packages that include any of these selections as well as a beautiful piece of lingerie.

From Bride's Guide reader KT: Is lingerie appropriate for a registry?

KDM: Yes, we love this idea! We encourage women to celebrate love and sensuality each and every day, and adding some lingerie to your registry is a great way to do that. In the past, we've created bridal trousseaus tailored specifically to the bride's desires, and guests can book a private shopping appointment at one of our boutiques to create a personal bridal registry or Wishlist through our online store, which can be shared with your bridal party via email or web link.

From Bride's Guide reader Jules: I see there's an events section on your website. What kinds of events do you host, and where?

KDM: We've hosted many bridal and bachelorette events -- which include romance salons, champagne receptions, and aphrodisiac tastings -- at our boutiques in New York, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, or in private homes or hotel suites. The parties range from intimate celebrations of fifteen to larger groups of 150 guests. The salons are inspired by the stimulating cultural gatherings of the 17th and 18th centuries and are interactive engagements that inspire guests to explore romance and intimacy in an elegant ambience, with the impeccable knowledge of our Kiki Specialists and renowned guest speakers.
