Your wedding will undoubtedly be one of the most unforgettable days of your life. Every detail of your big day matters — your dress, your venue, your flowers, and yes even your glasses!. If you wear spectacles on a regular basis, as you might be wondering, should I wearing glasses on my wedding day?
Let’s break it down. While some brides and grooms are absolutely proud to incorporate their glasses into their identity, some want to have a glasses-free look for any number of reasons — photographs, makeup, comfort. Regardless of what decision you make, it’s helpful to know your different options and plans.
In this post, we’ll guide you through what to consider if you’re wearing glasses on your wedding day and explore alternatives like Streamlight LASIK and Contoura Vision LASIK Laser, both available at Bajaj Eye Centre in Panipat.
Why Wearing Glasses on Your Wedding Day Is a Big Decision
Let’s be real – your wedding day is going to be full of cameras. And when you are standing in front of your loved ones, whether reciting your vows or dancing the night away at your reception, you want to feel confident.
So, with that said – the decision to wearing glasses on your wedding day is important.
Some common concerns include:
– Reflection in photos
– Matching glasses with makeup or hairstyle
– The comfort of what is likely going to be a long day in glasses
– Wanting a clean, fresh, natural look without frames
At the same time, if you are someone who wears glasses all the time, glasses may be an important part of your style and identity. Ultimately, the decision is yours – however, it may be helpful to be informed of all of the options.
Pros of Wearing Glasses on Your Wedding Day
1. It’s Your Signature Look
If glasses are part of your look, there is nothing wrong showing them off on your wedding day. In fact, they can become a one-of-a-kind fashion statement.
2. No Need to Adjust to Contacts
Not everyone is comfortable with contacts, and wearing your glasses can help to eliminate the chance of your eyes drying out, becoming irritated, or being uncomfortable during your ceremony.
3. Fashion Meets Function
Stylish frames can look stunning with your wedding attire — especially when paired with the right makeup and hairstyle.
Cons of Wearing Glasses on Your Wedding Day
1. Glare and Reflections in Photos
Even anti-reflective coatings don’t entirely reduce glare in all types of light, particularly in flash photography.
2. Makeup Compatibility
Depending on your style of glasses, they may smudge foundation or mess with your eye makeup—all around the nose bridge and temples, essentially.
3. Limited Flexibility with Hairstyling
Certain updos and styles of veils may not sit comfortably with glasses, particularly if they are large frames.
Tips for Brides and Grooms Wearing Glasses
If you’ve decided that wearing glasses on your wedding day is right for you, here’s how to make it work seamlessly:
1. Consider Your Frames
Perhaps treat yourself to a new pair of frames for the occasion. Pick frames that are stylish, neutral, and thin (the frame should not overtake your features). No one wants to wear large heavy frames with thick line widths unless it is your unique style!
2. Select Anti-Reflective Lenses
This is a requirement. Anti-reflective coating will minimize glare and help your eyes stand out in photographs.
3. Have a Professional Makeup Trial
Be forthright with your makeup artist and let them know you will be wearing glasses on your wedding day. The makeup artist might make adjustments in technique to ensure your eyes pop behind the lenses, and allow for a set that resists being smudged all day!
4. Talk to Your Photographer
Advise your photographer that you are wearing glasses on your wedding day so they can adjust your angle and lighting to help reduce reflections in your images.
5. Bring a Cleaning Cloth
This may seem trivial, but having a designated soft cloth to get a quick wipe down with, is essential, particularly if the day becomes humid or you shed happy tears!
Considering a Glass-Free Wedding Look?
If you are considering a no-glasses approach, but do not wish to wear contacts, you might consider LASIK surgery as an option – especially considering you have a few months before the wedding to get it done.
