I'm getting married in August. I lost my left eye due to accident an last month. I will be wearing an eye patch for my wedding. A designer is working with me to create a custom patch for the wedding. The options that I'm looking at are a white eye patch that is plain, an white eye patch that is decorated with pin stripes of my wedding colors which are black and maroon, or a white eye patch with heart with my and my fiancee's initials on the heart. I will be getting a prosthetic eye later on, but I'm considering wearing eye patches full time.

That's just awesome. I do a lot of bead embroidery but never once considered doing an eyepatch! I think you just inspired me! This is a bracelet I did a while back; it should be fun to adapt.

I like the dress material idea. I would keep it simple.

Welcome!

Your post is a bit older already, but I still wanted to take the chance and say it's great you embraced the alteration of your look in a positive way. I'm sure you were a beautiful bride! I myself am currently looking for inspiration for an eyecover that will make me shine on my wedding day (that's how I found your thread here). When I first had to cover my eye after an injury a couple of years ago, I felt super self-soncious about it; but then a friend of mine made me some custom patches in colorful designs to suit my wardrobe, and that's how I came to accept my eyepatch a bit as something of a fashion accessoire. Now I can embrace the fact that I have to wear it (if I don't want to show off my scar, that is). For my wedding, I've been wondering as well if I want to have the focus on my dress or on my eyepatch (as some have discussed above); and I'm actually thinking about keeping the dress simple and put the focus on the facial decoration, but I just started developing ideas.
