Many of us are expected (and encouraged) to ditch Many of us are expected (and encouraged) to ditch our glasses for contacts on our wedding days – but why? We love to see couples rocking their fabulous frames, especially with such fun colours.⁠ ⁠ Last week @stacey_williams29 stunned in her signature hot pink spectacles for her and Alex’s featured wedding, and had this to say about her choice to wear her glasses: “You don’t see a lot of brides wearing glasses, and some people were surprised to hear that I would be wearing them instead of contact lenses, but I really wouldn’t have felt like myself without them.”⁠ ⁠ And we couldn’t agree more. Not only do her glasses match the beautiful colour scheme, but she radiates with happiness and confidence in every photo, all because she felt like herself!⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @aimeecattweddings / Flowers: @kdflowerdesign_ / Bride's Dress: @luvbridal ⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A photo of Stacey in her glittering wedding dress, with its long white skirt and off-shoulder neckline.
