Whether you are looking for a body shaping corset or a luxurious bra and panty set, Envie Intimates’ brand new Kitchener-Waterloo store is designed specifically to suit every body shape and personality. This first store in a new chain carrying Envie’s high end intimates is filled with a wide selection of foundation garments for the wedding day, necessities for the every day, and lingerie for the honeymoon. Here’s more…
Personally Speaking....
Envie Intimates is a stand-alone store, carrying its own product lines. They set up shop right here in Kitchener on November 6, 2010, and carry high end intimates that fit you properly, so you can feel confident and comfortable on your wedding day, honeymoon and all year long!
Whether you’re saying 'I do' or not, at some point you’re certain to be looking for a perfect fitting bra, a high end silky lingerie item or a set of wedding day SPANX. That’s what Envie Intimates is about.
A perfect fit
When choosing underwear for your big day you’ll want to make sure it fits properly. We’ve all had that uncomfortable bra that doesn’t quite fit and this is the last thing that you want on your wedding day. Envie’s staff are certified and trained bra fitters. By having your bra or corset fitted you will be sure to have comfort and that perfect shape that you've been dreaming of.
Playing up your best features
Staff is on hand to guide you through all the options and intimates that will work best for you. According to manager, Lisa, and PR Coordinator, Melissa, Envie staff can even help you with “Body shaping”. These girls are trained to recommend products that help you achieve your dream shape.
A lot of us can be self-conscious about one part of our body. Envie can help you find the perfect lingerie to enhance or downplay any feature of your body. With the huge variety on offer, it is such fun to try different garments!
If you are slightly bustier there's no need to worry. They have a wide selection of larger cup bras with a variety of band sizes to suit any frame. Special orders for minimizers and bras are also available with sizes all the way up to an N cup.
For those of you that are getting married in a gorgeous backless or low back dress (particularly if you’re planning a destination wedding somewhere warm) try the NuBra. It has self-adhesive cups for nearly invisible support.
Matching with the dress
You’ve gathered the girls and spent hours touring gown stores and now you need to find what you are going to wear underneath. The girls at Envie suggest that you buy your under garments before your first fitting. This way you know that your dress is going to fit properly.
Their top tip is to wear it! “Don’t just save it for your wedding day. Wear it for a day or a few hours to make sure that you’re going to be comfortable.”
Creative colours
You don’t have to be a conventional bride and opt for a standard white. They offer a number of colours and shades to match your dress. For something a little more playful, they have a selection of bras and panties in a range of colours. Envie has a great selection of honeymoon lingerie. Maybe surprise him with something red hot on your honeymoon, it is the colour of passion after all!
Practically fun
Just because you are wearing this under your gown doesn’t have to mean it has to be plain and simple. We all love a little vavavoom when it comes to our underwear. Envie offers pretty and fun pieces as well as the practical foundation garments. Obviously, they do not forget the honeymoon. Maybe you can collect a few different pieces – making him a very lucky husband.
Accessories
Wedding day under garments, honeymoon fun lingerie and cute underwear are all ticked off the wedding attire list. What we love about Envie is that they are so much more then a lingerie store. They sell a whole variety of accessories.
If you are looking for bridesmaid’s gifts then check out their jewellery selection – they even have a diamond selection (we write with a huge smile). Maybe you want to pick up a necklace that compliments your dress or some candles for a romantic night with your new hubby. You might fancy trying some luscious bath, massage and body oils or purchasing something fun for you and your partner.
If you are stuck for beauty ideas then they even have this too! You will love the products that they have; many are Canadian made and all are hypoallergenic.
All of us girls deserve a little treat and you can order custom made silk pyjamas from Christine Vancouver. Staff take your measurements and material choice and six weeks later your have a gorgeous, fitted and comfy set of PJs.
Envie really is a one stop shop. You don’t need to go anywhere else as they have it all.
A price for every budget
We have all been there, picked up a beautiful bra and then run away in shock at the price. The perfect thing about Envie is that they have something for every budget. They carry Blush Lingerie and Montelle Lingerie which both have a great price point if you are a budget conscious bride.
Foundation garments start at around $60, a small price to pay for that waist you have always envisioned!
Coming soon!
Starting this spring, Envie will be carrying bras that increase your bust by one cup size along with non-surgical uplift bras. Stop by and try one on!
And, book a party with your bridesmaids where you can try on lingerie or pick out some new PJs. Parties are available Saturdays through to Wednesdays and take place for two hours after they close. A $150 booking fee is required (in case of cancellations) and is returned with a minimum $100 purchase.
