Most women who wear recommended glasses on a daily basis probably won’t want to wear them on their ‘big’ day. This is sometimes inevitable especially if the glasses are a major part of the bride’s personality. It would be difficult to imagine her without them. For the bride who is always with her glasses, here are some tips on how she can get the most of that look on her wedding day:
1. Treat your glasses as another accessory
The only people who don’t understand the appeal of glasses are little children. Invest a stylish set of frames that can make your friends and family grin with envy. Treat yourself to a brand new frame to perfectly complement your dress, or grab a real statement piece for an infusion of colour.
2. Test your glasses with your veil
Some frames have sharp corners, embellishments, or decorations that could catch your veil and pull out the thread. Ensure to try on your veil and glasses together to test for any potential problems. Even better, fashion a play veil out of some under material and try your glasses with that. Your real veil will thank you and there should be no danger of getting anything caught in your glasses.
3. Bring your glasses to the wedding
Be prepared. This one is for the brides who don’t wear contacts, always keep your glasses handy. On the day itself, you may cry, you may get something in your eye, or you could simply develop a reaction due to anxiety. Red, puffy eyes aren’t a good look on anyone, so make sure to bring your glasses as a backup in case any of these happens.
4. Try taking some wedding pictures without your glasses
Just to spice things up a little, you know? You’ll look gorgeous with or without them (thanks to your lovely makeup) and by taking pictures without your glasses. That way you have some lovely variety in your photos. If your other half wears glasses too, you could both take them off for some pictures.
5. Choose neutral makeup
Eyeshadow depends on the frames you’ve chosen – it can sometimes get lost behind the frames, or the opposite. The answer for most is to go neutral. Natural eyeshadows look fabulous with thin and thick eyeliner. For a silent pop of colour, add a shimmer to the bottom lash line to draw more attention to the eyes.
6. Add your eyeliner
This is a must. Eyeliner is a definite yes – as already mentioned but how to wear it and look fabulous? Let the frames be your guide – you can’t go wrong with thin eyeliner for thin frames, and thick eyeliner for thick ones.
