Registry Office Ceremonies
Registry office weddings are a popular choice for couples seeking a more intimate and low-key "I do", but that doesn't mean your guest attire needs to be understated!
These ceremonies often call for a look that's polished and chic, making your eyewear a fantastic opportunity to add a touch of personality.
Consider sleek, modern frames that complement a refined outfit, or opt for a pair with subtle metallic details for an elevated touch.

Should I wear sunglasses if I'm in the wedding?
If you're part of the wedding party and the ceremony is outdoors, wearing sunglasses can be a smart and stylish choice, especially if it’s a sunny day. Consider a pair that complements your outfit and the wedding's overall aesthetic. Classic shapes and neutral colours often work best, or a subtle pop of colour if it matches the wedding's theme.
Just remember to remove them for key moments like walking down the aisle, during vows, or for formal portraits, you can always pop them back on for candid shots and celebrating afterwards. But if you’re still in doubt, ask the happy couple how they feel about you wearing sunglasses during the ceremony.
