Wedding Shades

Sunglass -- now that's something that many may overlook when planning for their big day. But when you're planning a beach wedding, having the right pair of shades on hand is much more imperative than you would think! Even though you won't be wearing them during the reception, or in the bulk of the pictures, I guarantee you they will come in handy--and when they do, you don't want to be caught in the wrong pair!

The New York Times recently posted an article about finding just the right shades for your face, and I definitely learned a thing or two. I can attest personally that not all shapes or frames look good on everyone. Having a relatively narrow face myself, I have often had to forgo the big funky frames that I love for smaller frames that won't overwhelm my face shape.

In this article, NYT enlisted the help of an expert from Solstice Sunglass Store. She gave the following guidelines to keep in mind.

1. Smile Test: When you smile your frames should not be resting on your cheeks. If they lift up when you smile, they are too large.

2. Choose Contoured Frames: You want to minimize the amount of space between your temple and the edge of the frame.

3 Pay Attention to the Bridge: Too much space between the bridge of your glasses and the bridge of your nose is a sign of poor fit.
