Go with whatever makes you feel more beautiful! A good makeup stylist will be able to give you the right look whether you wear glasses or not.

I won't be wearing my glasses.. First off, I might cry and glasses will just get in the way of me wiping my tears, lol. Also my frames don't look good with a more formal look. I don't even wear my glasses anytime I'm dressed up. This is just me though. Since I go without my glasses (and wear contacts) often, it's not a big deal for me.

Do you wear you glasses ALL the time? If not, I would say that it won't be too big of a deal to just go with your contacts for the wedding day. On the other hand, if your glasses are "you" and you don't quite feel like yourself without them, you MIGHT want to consider wearing them. It doesn't look bad. Plus, they shouldn't get too much in the way. (Do they get in the way on any other day?)

I did a quick google search and came across this really cute pic for inspiration:

If you wear them both regularly then wear whatever makes you happy and beautiful. If contacts will irritate you after 6 hours then maybe not such a great idea on a long wedding day.

If you wear your glasses 90% of the time, then probably a good idea to wear your glasses because you want to still look like yourself and have people recognize you!

I also wear both but I wear my contacts more so I'll be wearing those for the wedding.

If you wear both equally I'd say pick whatever you think you'd be more comfortable in for a long period of time.

I haven't worn contacts since before FI and I started dating more than five years ago... so, I'm wearing my glasses. I've already warned the photographer (because she'll have to be a bit more careful with glare issues). FI is also wearing his glasses.

I'm probably going to be wearing my contacts but I definitely will be bringing my glasses along just in case.

I wear glasses and contacts, and I'll be wearing my contacts for our wedding. Although I will have my glasses with in case my eyes get too dry and I need to take my contacts out.
