Piercings

Christianna , on June 18, 2018 at 3:37 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 24
I’m currently debating on my piercings being in on my wedding day, I personally love them however I don’t want them to take from my dress. Even though every time I’ve had my dress on I don’t even notice them because I’ve had them in for years! Also I have tiny gauges that I’ve debated letting them close however I’m just not quite ready to let them go. What are your options? I’ve though about getting gold nose rings since that is one of my main colors and some fancy looking gauges.

    Following. I have a nose piercing as well and only use hoops as I think it compliments me better than the studs. I’m curious to see what others advise! Good luck! xx

    Hey!

    I think your piercings would be super rad for your wedding. Maybe not all of them? Your two nostril nose rings would look adorable in gold and maybe take your septum ring out for that day? You can easily get some really cool yet elegant earrings that are your size. I'm kind of in the same boat about my piercings and I'm just gonna wear a small dainty septum ring . I hope my opinion helped a little!

    That’s what my mom said to post the septum for the day I’ve considered tucking it up for the ceremony and putting it back in for the reception

    If you really want honest opinions, I'd lose the septum piercing, and maybe go for a dainty stud in the nostril. I look back at pictures from college when I had my tongue pierced and wonder wtf I was thinking, I'd hate for anyone to feel that way when looking at their wedding photos in 20 years. Not saying you definitely would regret it, and of course this is just my opinion.

    I don't think you should take all of them out, because they show your personality. I agree with the PP about having some in in the gold Smiley smile
    Also, I think it depends on your dress as well.

    I would find the septum nose ring distracting, but I'm also a conservative 50-year-old bride to be. The nose rings are nice though.

    Hey Christianna! As someone with a lot of piercings and tattoos, I say GO FOR IT! It is YOUR day, so whatever will make you feel the most yourself and beautiful is the route to take.

    I love the gold jewelry idea! You can find great nostril and septum rings on Etsy. As for your gauges, they don't need to close up in order for you to wear regular earrings. You can get a clear pair to put in your stretched ears and then put a regular dangle earring hook through the gauge with a backing on so it can't fall out.

    Hopefully my medium amount of knowledge on the subject is helpful to some degree Smiley smile

    I think the hoops would be super cute in gold!!

    I’m keeping my nose ring (I have a small stud) but I’m taking out my industrial. I have two random tattoos on my back I’m covering as well - I’m just really afraid they will take to focus off my dress! Even though I don’t really notice this stuff, I know other people will (and I know I shouldn’t care, but I still do)

    You could definitely do that depending on the style of your wedding. You're the star of the show. Not your dress. So if you want to show off all your piercings then go for it! Maybe gold rings for your nostrils and something thin and dainty for your septum during reception?

    I second Mrs. Fall Bride!

    If you are in doubt chances are you are already feeling like they don't 100% project who you wanna be at this moment, you are the one who needs to be honest to yourself and make a decision - for you, not others- Smiley smile good luck!

    Like MFB said, if you want honest opinions, mine is that you should take out the septum and do either a dainty hoop in the nose or a dainty stud. I am personally not a fan of facial piercings, so that is just my opinion. You could definitely find some earrings that would work, so I wouldn't stress out about that too much, especially considering that you may not even notice them depending on how you style your hair. Regardless of other people's opinions, you still need to feel like yourself on your wedding day, so if it feels right to leave them all in, leave them all in!

    I would go for something more dainty and fancy for the nose rings and loose the septum - or at least tuck it in for photos.

    I have piercings as well and I feel like if you like them and you wear them all the time, they are part of you and make you you. You should wear them on your special day. Especially if your FH likes them and you as well of course.

    With that being said, I would definitely get special jewelry that matches your dress and colors.

    The only reason I would understand taking them out is if FH doesn’t like them or if family you are really close to do not approve and you want to take them out of respect.

    I wore mine for all other special days like college graduation, family photos, etc. and plan on wearing mine for my wedding too.

    Keep them. Piercings are what makes you you. I'm not covering up any of my tattoos for my wedding and (although you cant really see it easily) I'm keeping my tongue ring in. If I still had my industrial piercing, I would definitely be keeping that in as well.

    I don't have face piercings anymore but I've slowly been changing all my ear piercings to gold. I got these gorgeous gold tunnels on etsy recently.

    I think you should keep them in and do the gold to match your wedding colors. The earrings are part of your personality and your FH loves all of you. Your wedding should be a representation of you both.
