Bridal Style: The Best Bridal Sunglasses for Your Destination Beach Wedding

Destination weddings have long been popular with couples seeking a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience for this milestone. The interest in exotic wedding locations is yet to diminish as well, with the destination wedding market expected to grow from $27.64 billion (£22.38 billion ) in 2023 to $36.49 billion (£29.55 billion) in 2024, eventually reaching $105.92 billion (£85.77 billion) in 2028. Beach destinations like Hawaii and The Maldives are among the most popular wedding spots thanks to year-round sun, gorgeous sandy landscapes, and glittering ocean views. However, if you’re looking to plan a destination beach wedding, you’ll need the proper eye protection to guard against harsh UV rays, sand particles, and other elements that can harm your eyes. Sunglasses are a must-have accessory for protection and style, but finding a great pair that suits your bridal look can be tricky. Here are some ideas to help you find the best bridal sunglasses for your destination beach wedding:

Timeless silhouettes

Regardless of your bridal look, wedding theme, or beach destination, classic shades can suit the occasion. Designer sunglasses often come with timeless silhouettes, keeping them in style no matter how trends change; you won’t have to worry about questioning your choices when looking at memories from your special day. If you’re going for a more dainty look, opt for wire-frame sunglasses in a smaller size. The Ray-Ban RB 3362 model is a great Aviator-style frame with gold frames and brown lenses, which can look great for a golden bridal look. If you want to amp up the glam, an oversized cat-eye like the Gucci GG 1169S can give you a bold and luxurious vibe. These classic shapes can elevate your bridal look in various ways, from making a statement to combining function and fashion. The best part about buying timeless sunglasses is that you can keep wearing them long after your destination beach wedding, allowing you to look stunning and stay protected no matter where you are.

We read that Sicily was beautiful at this time of year and after chatting with our lovely wedding planners (Emily and Adriana) and seeing the different options, we just knew we had to go with the rustic feel of Carcara villa. We had 48 guests and it took approximately one year to plan.’

Understanding Lab-Created Diamonds

Firstly, lab-created diamonds are not fake. They have all the physical, chemical, and optical properties of their mined counterparts but without the environmental burden or ethical stain that comes along with them. These stones are created under conditions simulating those on earth where natural diamonds form and present a more environment-friendly alternative to conventional mining.

Why Millennials Choose Lab-Grown

The allure of lab created diamond engagement rings extends beyond their mesmerizing beauty to embrace a wider range of values that deeply touch the millennial generation.
