It’s been quite a while since I talked about brides in glasses here, so I thought I’d discuss it a bit today.
Most of us know Dorothy Parker’s quip:
Men seldom make passes
At girls who wear glasses
But you know what? Men do. And women do. And some of those men and women who do make passes at girls in glasses wind up marrying them.
If you’re one of those brides who wears glasses, there’s good news! In decades past, nearly everyone would have advised you to leave off your specs and simply crash adorably into walls when you aren’t specifically on someone’s arm. This, though, is bad advice and the world is beginning to get the heck over it.

Now more and more bespectacled brides are being encouraged to wear their glasses so they can see all the action clearly on their big days. Of course if contact lenses work for you and that’s what you’d rather do, I definitely have your back.
But if you usually wear glasses, then consider wearing them on your wedding day, too. After all, you’re going to spend your future with someone who knows you need corrective lenses. You should look like you. In fact, it might even be a good excuse to go out and get a great new pair of frames!
And if you really consider glasses a part of your personal style, you might even work them into the decorations in other ways.
