For years and years brides have strived for perfection on their big day. To prep, women have been known to diet, wax, tweeze, pluck, dye, occasional nipping and tucking, but getting fit for contacts or LASIK doesn’t usually come to mind. Alas, that has been the fate for the majority of the bridal population. In the United States over 50% of women wear glasses and only 18% of those women wear contacts regularly. So what does this mean for the 32% of brides who wear glasses but not contacts?
Every bride knows the time between the engagement and the wedding is vital and every second counts. Between the save the dates, the invitations, booking the location, the officiant, the band and the god forsaken guest list, most brides don’t have the time to run to the ophthalmologist to get fitted for contacts or to dedicate the time to get and recover from LASIK.
From these aggravated brides came a few trendsetters who said “screw it” and sported their glasses down the aisle. There have been critics who claim it dresses down your wedding dress but why should these brides have to change their individual look to fit into an industry mold of the “perfect bride.” According to the Offbeat Bride, there are two strategies for wearing glasses at your wedding: wear what’ve you got or get new ones!
Many people who wear glasses know that after a while your glasses become a part of your face. So, just as you’d buy a wedding dress to fit your shape, shouldn’t it fit your face as well? Besides, miracles can be done with makeup and fake lashes. (i.e., Kate Moss, Renee Zellwegger, etc.)
It’s amazing how changing your glasses changes your face. Don’t be scared to try something new and experiment a little. Bold, dramatic glasses can really give your dress a modern look. You can coordinate these glasses with the dress, the décor, the flowers, the color of your hubbies eyes, absolutely anything. Right now you may thinking that you’re catching me with a foot in my mouth, here I’m saying you can spare time to shop for new glasses (a very timely ordeal) but not to get fit for contacts or LASIK but (yes, there is a but), with the help of LensesRX.com you can find the perfect frames at a fraction of the time and the cost.
You’ve already spent a ton on the dress, the hall, the flowers, the rings; spare yourself from buying a pair of designer frames at retail prices. LensesRX gives you discount prescription glasses at wholesale prices which means you can afford to buy a special pair for your honey moon too, maybe a transitional pair to soak in the sun from Bora Bora!
It’s 2010 and it’s about time that we take a stand and say “Let them wear glasses!”
