Wedding Day Glasses?

I am a spectacle wearer. In them I feel like me. So when it came to planning our wedding I decided wasn’t going to reach for the contacts. I was going to be proud and don my glasses. I did ask our photographer for a couple of portraits with me without them, just in case I look back and wish I had some spec free. But I wore them throughout our wedding ceremony and reception. I’d LOVE to see more brides and grooms wearing their glasses. It always gets me excited when I see couples rocking their frames, it just screams personality. So I thought it would be lovely to round up some gorgeous brides and grooms wearing theirs today.

There are plenty of options. Wear no glasses and stick to your contacts, wear your glasses throughout or do half and half. Why not treat yourself to a shiny new pair or make a bold statement?

Things to consider when wearing glasses on your wedding day (I really didn’t think about these myself hehe)…

Your wedding make up, be sure to let your make up artist know you are wearing your glasses and take them to your trial. Also take them along to your hair trial to ensure they fit your chosen style. When wedding shopping wear your specs, you want the whole look to be cohesive and you can choose accessories accordingly too.

Dapper Grooms in Frames

Gents can look refined and stylish in a well chosen pair of spectacles. If you can’t decide on the glasses consult your beau, try wearing them with your chosen attire and maybe take a photo of you in them. Why not wear them at your engagement shoot to build confidence in your look or buy some new frames in advance to get used to them?

Whatever you choose, you are going to look ace. Be confident in your choice and take your contacts too if you change your mind last minute. Although if planning a speech or reading, be sure to remember those reading glasses.

My thinking when wearing my glasses at my wedding is that I wear my frames every day, that’s how I look, so why not wear them on a special day too? When I look back I will remember that was how dressed and styled myself at that moment in my life.

Are you a glasses wearer? Are you thinking about wearing your glasses at your wedding? I’d love to hear from you below xo Lou
