Ways to Follow the Bridal Sunglasses Trend at Your Wedding

Sunglasses are no longer just for beach weddings now that bridal sunglasses have become somewhat of a trend. Research shows that there has been a 300% increase in people searching for bridal sunglasses this year. It wouldn’t be a surprise if this trend became the top bridal trend in 2023, due to the number of TikTok videos and social media posts that showcase how brides can wear sunglasses at their weddings.

Wearing sunglasses can make your special day more unique and memorable, especially if you choose the right pair for the event. Here are a few ideas that can help you follow the viral bridal sunglasses trend at your own wedding:

Copy the style of fashion icons who have done similar looks

You can ensure that you’ll look stylish on your wedding day by copying the styles of fashion icons who have worn sunglasses during their own wedding ceremonies.

For example, you can break tradition by copying Yoko Ono who wore large black sunglasses during her wedding to John Lennon. Though large black sunglasses may be a little too common, the Yoko Ono used them as an accessory to a short white dress for an avant-garde look. Apart from copying Yoko Ono’s style, you can also use the outfits of other fashion icons as an inspiration to nail down a specific look you may want to go for on your big day.

Match your glasses to your outfit through virtual try-ons

Do you have a theme or a specific style in mind? You may find it easier to find a pair of sunglasses that matches your preferred style by trying them on online.

Instead of trying on styles one by one in-store, you can try on glasses online using your camera or even a picture to find a pair that suits your personal preferences. Virtual try-on technologies allow you to view a realistic or even a real-time preview of various frames on your face, making it easier for you to gauge which pairs suit your bridal outfit. By leveraging this technology, you can save time while finding the perfect pair of sunglasses for your special day.

Wear matching sunglasses with your partner

If you want something more romantic, you can look into matching sunglasses styles that you and your partner can wear.

Wearing a matching pair of sunglasses can be a great wedding accessory for you and your partner because you can do a look that embodies your energy as a couple. For instance, you can wear sunglasses with black lenses and metal frames to look like a badass duo or choose a pair of colorful sunglasses to bring a fun element to your big day. These matching sunglasses can set the mood for your wedding because it shows the harmony and energy that you share with your significant other and want to imprint on your big day.
