Customize your own event checklist with due dates, personal reminders, and timelines for all your wedding to do’s.
Tissues? Check. Lip gloss? Check. Sunnies? CHECK! Whether you're packing classic wayfarers or chic aviators, shades are a major must-have in your wedding day clutch, and here are the real reasons why: 1. Ugly crying.  All photos via Perverse Sunglasses Um, cue the waterworks! If ceremonies tend to cause you uncontrollable ugly crying (followed by puffy eyes...), a big pair of dark sunglasses will be your big day BFF. [Dentelle, $45] 2. That blinding cocktail hour.  It's like the sun is actually setting on the open bar... Skip the not-so-cute squinting (especially in all those Instagram photos) by shading your peepers with some printed social media-worthy sunnies. [Ord, $45] 3. Awkward run-ins with the ex.  You'll probably run into that ex who broke your heart this wedding season, because... life. Give new meaning to "throwing shade" by hiding behind some seriously sleek frames. In case of a face-to-face encounter, no one will see your eye roll... [Hill, $55] 4. Your brunch hangover. We love a good brunch, but the morning-after-the-wedding meal can be unusually cruel... Hide those tired eyes behind the biggest frames you can find. The more coverage the better (and cool details make a good distraction). [Herondo, $45] 5. Selfies.  You know you'll be snapping away all day, so style accordingly! Matching your sunnies to your lip shade is sure to get all the double taps. [Lucia, $58] 6. Liquid eyeliner fails. The wing on the right comes out a little further than the one on the left, so you add a little to the left. Now the curve of the left is a little higher than the one on the right, so you add to the right. And you know how the story goes... Pass the sunglasses, please! [Sugar, $40] 7. Bride status. White sunnies on your big day? Does it get any sweeter than that?
