Top 5 Wedding Fashion Faux Pas Revealed

It goes without saying that you’ll want to look your best on your Big Day. Trust us – there will be no escape from those wedding photos, so it’s worth putting the effort in. To ensure that you don’t commit fashion hari-kari, take a butcher’s at these survey findings from laser eye specialists, Ultralase. They quizzed over 1,000 engaged and married couples to find out what they wouldn’t want to wear when tying the knot. As feisty fashionistas Trinny and Susannah might say, here’s what not to wear on your wedding day…

Accessories from hell for grooms included wigs, piercings and the dreaded white socks. Here’s their Top 5 wedding fashion no-nos:

1. Wig/toupee (50%)
2. Visual piercings (19%)
3. White socks (13%)
4. Facial hair (10%)
5. Glasses (7%)

The ladies, meanwhile, expressed an understandable aversion to giant pants and flat shoes:

1. Trouser suit (38%)
2. Glasses (23%)
3. Support knickers (16%)
4. Flat shoes (12%)
5. White tights/stockings (10%)

You may have noticed that glasses made both of the Top 5 lists. Although your average bride chucks hundreds of hours at looking gorgeous on her wedding day, Ultralase found that 1 in 3 grooms couldn’t actually see their bride since they were too vain to wear their glasses. Perhaps it’s time to add laser eye treatment to the wedding planning ‘to do’ list?

Do you agree with the results or are their other howlers that deserve a mention? Will you ditch your glasses to get hitched? Tell us what you think on the forum
