Modern brides with glasses often agonize over whether to switch to contact lenses for their wedding day, but eyeglasses can be a chic bridal accessory.

On her wedding day, every bride wants to look like the most beautiful version of herself. And many brides just wouldn’t feel like themselves without their glasses. Even though brides with glasses are rarely pictured in bridal magazines, it’s perfectly possible to wear your glasses on your wedding day and look sassy, sexy, and gorgeous.

Eyeglasses or Contact Lenses?

For brides who wear contact lenses regularly and are comfortable with them, contact lenses can be an easy solution. Brides wishing to try contact lenses for the first time should purchase them well in advance, and practice wearing them before making a final decision– some people find them uncomfortable, and no bride wants to spend her day worrying about her lenses! Some brides may wish to wear both, wearing contact lenses for the ceremony and photos, and glasses at the reception. Any bride wearing contact lenses should be sure to include a contact lens case and solution in her touch-up kit. Brides may also want to discuss their different looks with their hair and make-up artists to ensure that their hairstyle and makeup will work well with glasses and without.

Glasses As A Bridal Accessory

For the bride who just wouldn’t feel like herself without her glasses on, there are two choices: she can wear her regular frames, or she can treat her glasses like any other bridal accessory and purchase new eyeglasses for her wedding day. Whether she goes with designer glasses or chic vintage frames, brides can find a selection of wedding eyeglasses online or in stores in her area. Glasses are something that can truly show a bride’s personality, whether in tortoiseshell “look at me!” frames, or sleek, barely-there modern designs, and can be coordinated with the rest of the bridal jewellry for a dramatic look.

Bridal Veils For Brides With Glasses

Many brides wonder if they can still wear a bridal veil with their eyeglasses. The answer is a resounding yes! Many modern brides with eyeglasses choose dramatic fascinators or birdcage veils, which can be worn above the eyes, or skimming the face. Traditional veils, from flyaway to cathedral length can also be worn with eyeglasses.
