Let’s ring in the 4th season of “Mad Men” with a minimalistic wedding style inspiration. Let’s call it a mid-century look with a twist…

There are so many things to love about the look of the 1960’s  though… a clean and uncomplicated visual style that included tailored suits and of course, the famed fedora. I envision modular lounge furniture at the reception, simple retro patterns and of course, a rockin’ pillbox hat with a birdcage veil!

For wedding day… should you or should you not~ wear your glasses… is that the decision you’re trying to make?

Most wedding photos feature spectacle-less brides. Not much help there.

But, what if you need your glasses to like… uh… see and contacts aren’t an option? Or you need your glasses some or even most of the time? Or maybe you simply like the way you look in your glasses and everyone is used to you in them.

Do you wear them? I’d say, go for it!

How cute is this bride with her glasses? Adorable cute.

Talk to your Photographer

If your indecision lies concerned about being photographed in glasses, then talk to your photographer about it. They will give you lots of suggestions for cutting glare and reducing the indentations made when you take them off. They know how to keep you looking beautiful!

Work it out with your Stylist

Talk to your stylist about the right frames for your hair, face shape, makeup and veil. Perhaps you will want to get new specs or frames~ just for the wedding!

Who IS wearing glasses on wedding day? How are you planning for it?

Who’s NOT wearing glasses? If you normally wear glasses but have decided to OPT OUT, how are you compensating?

Does your fiance’ have an opinion about whether you do or don’t wear your glasses?

Hello modern wedding… meet vintage elements!

True confession… I adore this modern wedding “trend” There is just so much charm to be found in this combination.  Color punches and other contemporary reflections in design and attire, juxtaposed with vintage elements {crystal, antiques & patterning} create an exquisite tension.

Opposites compliment.
