Certain bridges can enhance or draw attention away from a large nose. Frames that fit close to a large nose will minimize the size and focus attention to the frame.

Metal frames work a bit better in some cases and as a plastic frame can give the appearance it's attached to the nose and might actually come off with the glasses! So I kindly suggest you to choose a proper frame with proper bridge to your nose. Big or winder noses require a little bit big bridges. However, if a frame bridge is too large for you nose it will leave a horrible mark on the top of a person's bridge. If it is metal it could even cut the skin.
