I'm not sure it why wearing glasses would make a difference if I am honest. I wear glasses and have done since I was 16. They have become a part of who I am and most people I know now only know me with my glasses. It wouldn't be right to not wear them.

Saying that I am hoping to get contact lenses when I get them tested later this year but that's not for the wedding. That's just for me to see if I can have them and whether they work for me. I went very quickly from having minimal trouble with my eyes to wearing varifocals at 16 and having my eyes tested and new glasses every 3 months so now I'm in a position to afford it I would like to try contacts. OH isn't as keen though as he has only ever known me with them.

Ive tried doing some makeup trials of my own... All i see is my glasses. I guessni want people to see my eyes.
Not to mention reflections on glasses suring photos etc.
I might be over thinking it but i guess my face furniture feels like a focal point at the moment.

I see what you mean now.

Is it the style of your glasses? I have to have thick rims on mine and the lenses have to be very deep (2.7mm minimum frim my pupils down to be exact) for my varifocals. They become a feature in themselves.
My mom on the other hand can wear glasses with a light metal rim as her lenses aren't as thick and they aren't so deep.
Her face feels more open than mine does because of the style but if I was to wear hers and vice versa we would look silly as they just don't suit us.

Why not try looking for general makeup wearing glasses rather than specific to weddings. You can then change the colours etc to suit.

Go into b00t5 or somewhere similar and they will show you how to do your makeup so that you can get it how you want. We took mom to an 3st3 l@ud3r counter last year and she loved it. We didn't even have to buy anything. It was completely free xx

Thanks for the tip @Emily

Indreamland- I unfortunately cannot see a thing without mine. My lenses are very thick and I struggle to see about an armslength away. I tried contacts but I found them quite irritating and people looked at me like "why are you not wearing glasses you look odd without them" kind of thing. I didnt want to surprise everyone on my big day revealing my squinty beady eyes and my big round cheeks. hahaha.
I do have quite thick rimmed specks but I need them for the lenses, I think going into b00t5 or D3b3nh@ms is a great idea.... :-) x

I've seen photos of real brides and bridesmaids wearing their glasses and think they looked lovely, they shouldn't restrict any look you want to create.

I only didn't wear mine because I'm used to going out without them unless I'm driving or at work.

Just to add, your photographer should be able to help prevent any glare from your glasses either by putting you in the right light or being an editing wiz later. X

I wear glasses mainly but I'll be getting some contacts for my wedding day. I think I'll feel more comfortable doing it that way

Can I suggest to you all getting glasses to not get the lenses that turn into sunglasses when you're outside! They take a while to go back to clear when you go from outside to indoors.

my best friend wore glasses on her wedding day, we just did her eye make up a little bolder.

My husband prefers me without glasses so I managed to get a contact lense trial and wore contact lenses for most the day, until about 10pm.

I dont see why it makes such a huge difference, people have said it looks better in photos without them but to me i have worn them pretty much my whole life, they are part of who i am and my other half wears them too. We are going to both wear them on our wedding day :) got to be you!

If youre worried about photos, get an anti reflective coating and that will help to reduce reflections from the lenses. Most lenses that are thinned down come with the coating anyway.
