    I got my nose pierced a little less than a year ago, I love it... but I'm debating whether or not I should wear it for my wedding day? I haven't had it long enough to be like, "I've always been like this."

    I'm wondering if you all think I might regret wearing it ten years later when I look at my pictures and think, "ugh I cannot believe I wore that on my wedding day?!"

     

    what do you think??

    That is really only for you to tell! Do you think you will regret it 25 years down the line when your kids are looking at your wedding pictures?

    I know that I personally would not wear it but everyone is different and you have to do what is right for you!

    If you already think you might regret, I would go the safe route and go without it.  You do want to look at it 20 years from now and be happy with your choice.  Maybe you can do your engagement pics with it?

    I think I'm of the idea that if you like it now, go for it!  Especially since yours is so small, It's not like it would show up in every single picture you take.  And I would say that 20 years from now there are probably going to be a ton of things from everyone's wedding that they'll think looks old-fashioned.  It's inevitable.  So I say go with what you like now!

    Are you going to regret not wearing it?  If not, then I would skip wearing on your wedding day.  But, if you will regret not wearing it then go for it.  It could always be photoshoped out of your pictures if you don't like it later.

    I think it is cute and small and won't look bad at all :) But if you think you may regret it...go ahead and take it out. A friend of mine got a small tiny clear one and that didn't show in any pictures (and for ones super close up she used airbrushing or something I think).

    i love it!! I would get a nose ring too, but I'm a scaredy :-) That said, I think you should take it out - weddings are more timeless and classic. I have more funky tastes, but kept it very simple on my wedding day. I dont know, it just felt right.  Either way though you'll be gorgeous!

    Does it go with the rest of your outfit/feel? Hard to quantify, I guess, but if you're wearing funkier jewelry and a less-classic dress, then it could look fabulous. If you're going for the classic traditional look, it may be out of place.

    Other thing to think about - does anyone in your family have major issues with it? Personally, my father would be irate if I got one and even more so if it was in on my wedding day. I've always thought they were kind of cute, but never cute enough to risk my family's upsetness. Maybe it doesn't apply to you, but just making sure.

    Totally up to you! I like them, but you may not like it in years looking back. I'm trying to keep my peircings to minimal for my wedding so i don't regret it. BUT, when I took my nose ring out, it left a big black spot, still hasn't gone away after over a year.

    I think it looks great on you.  No harm in wearing it since it is so tiny!

    Maybe make sure you pose showing the other side of your face in half the pictures. haha.  That way there are both options!

    bridetacular    September 25, 2010  

    Dear sept2610,

    I swear I'm not e-stalking you. Really. We just seem to have a freakish amount of stuff in common.

    For example - nose rings. I'm still trying to figure out my approach as well. I'm scared that if I leave it out for the day though, it'll grow in. And then I won't have one. And that'll make me sad.

    So, I think I'm going the little clear nose stud route. We shall see.

    Sincerely,

    Bridetacular

    i'm wearing mine!  check out my poll from earlier here.  I have had mine for a loooong time though and it's definitely part of my style.  I'd say go for it though.

    I personally think that you should wear it. It's you right now... not you in 20 years from now. That's the way I'm looking at it. I, too, have my nose pierced and have had it since 2006. I love it. It's part of my personality, and part of who I am at this point in my life.

    I also think it'd be cool to show our kids that in 20 years!!

    Plus it looks amazing on you... super cute ;]

    @Melissabegins- you should do it!!! It's just a quick pinch and it's done!!

    go for it! i'm definitely wearing my hoop lip ring...i've had it for 5+ years and my FI has had his for 8 years probably and i'm sure he is wearing his too. we both have hoops through our nostrils and we may or may not wear those. i dont care if anyone else says anything, i guess my family knows me pretty well and has accepted my hardwear and my tattoos. :)

     

    besides, your's is so tiny! if anything, it will look like a sparkle when it catches the light and add that much more flare! rock it if it makes you feel more confident/you.  just because you haven't had it long doesn't mean that it doesn't fit your personality!

    I have a nose ring and its just as small as yours.. Im going to take it off.. We are having our wedding in the evening and i know once the flash goes off half of my nose is covered behind the shine.. I hate it.. I really would hate for that to happen on my wedding day.. So you might want to think about it..

    P.S. if you do take it off make sure you put it on the same day.. and warning.. it will hurt.. I have mine for 1 1/2 and if it falls off for more than 10 hrs.. it hurt like crap when you try to put it back.. at least that what happened to me when i lost it. It was not a fun experience.. So you also might consider a clear one.

    It looks nice on you. In our traditional wedding we wear a big nose ring and well it doesnt look that bad and pictures came out great.

    Personally and I'm not trying to hurt your feelings but I don't think that the nose ring belongs in the wedding. Could you imagine on your 50th wedding anniversary looking back at those photos and seeing it there, because at some point I'm sure you'll take it out and leave it that way was we all go through our piercing fads at some point and a nose ring just doesn't belong on a 70yr old (I just couldn't imagine my gran with one!)

    While I don't think it looks bad, I don't think it's wedding wear either. Much like, I wouldn't put earings in more than one whole in my ears. I guess i think of weddings as traditional though so I would agree that it depends on what you are wearing. I feel like it would be okay for a ore causal wedding.

    I really think it depends on your personal style, and not so much the idea of a "traditional" wedding. I have a small nose stud and a tattoo on my wrist. They are both (especially the tattoo!) a part of me and I don't intend on taking the stud out or covering up the tattoo. I don't think when you're 50 you'll look back and be like ugh stupid nose ring. Honestly, when you look at these photos years from now, hopefully you'll be reliving one of the best moments in your life, and not even thinking about the way you look.

    I'm also not having a casual or artsy wedding. I'm having an elegant formal affair, and I've already bought the dress and tried it on (and stared at it in my closet ... several times) and it doesn't look bad. Nose piercings aren't really taboo anymore.

    I agree with some of the other women, it does look really cute on you. Is it a clear sparkly stud or colored? Mine's blue and I think I'm going to count it as my something blue ha ha

    My mom wore a wedding dress with shoulder pads, a wedding cap, and crazy huge glasses.  I look back on those and think she looks completely silly.  But you know what, she also looks really happy.  And it was the wedding of her dreams. 

    Do what makes you happy now!  We're human and constantly changing.

    I don't understand why you would take it out. It's part of your everyday look and you shouldn't change who you are to fit a stock image that everyone and their brother (whose opinions don't even matter) says a bride should look like. Brides come in all shapes, sizes, colors, styles, etc and they should remain true to who they are, regardless of what anyone else thinks or says. Otherwise their family and friends will wonder why they changed their image for that one day out of their lives.

    Honestly, who cares if you look back in 10 or 15 yrs and don't like the pictures. You will do the same with your clothing and hair choices but that doesn't mean that you should change your style of those things for the wedding. Just the same as you should not change your body art. You chose it for a reason.

    I think it's up to you! I will be wearing mine (never actually even questioned if I shouldn't) but I've had it nearly 10 years. It's part of who I am. And while we're not having an overly formal wedding (it's on a beach) it won't be a small, casual or unusual affair either.

    I would wear it. It's small and inconspicuous anyway, not like a big ole' Lenny Kravitz circus hoop. Plus, if you take it out for the day it might close up. I took mine out for my first day of work (even though I totally didn't have to) and then couldn't get it back in. :( I'd had mine for a year at least, but it just didn't want to go back in. A few hours would be fine, but a whole day would just depend on what your nose wanted to do!

    Yours is really cute and subtle, I would leave it! It's authentic to you and honestly, will make your pictures more interesting. You're not a generic bride.

    And your grandchildren will think you were a bad ass :)

    It's almost microscopic... I don't think it could possibly detract from anything. If you take it out-- there would just be a hole.... which isn't very attractive. (I have friends who took theirs out years ago and you can still see the hole). Any decisions about your personal appearance on your wedding day could be regretted-- look at the 1980s with the pom pom flower headbands, encrusted dresses and huge puffed sleeves. Styles change. Your wedding is a snap shot of you at the time-- you have a nose ring, you chose how to do your makeup and what to wear.... you can't know your future self right now, or what things will come in and out of fashion --you could hypothetically "ugh" about everything-- so don't stress. Besides you could always laugh "whoa, look how cool I was back then, what happened?".
