Wedding Nails for Brides and Bridesmaids
Wedding planning is stressful. We’ve been through it and know just how tough it is, especially when you choose to coordinate everything yourself (That is, you’re a bit of a control freak and only trust yourself!) So your big day is coming up and you’re just about ready to be married.
Choosing a nail design to complement your wedding dress doesn’t have to be stressful though. Most brides-to-be tend to choose a nude color or neutral shade for a more toned down nail design on their wedding day. Some made like to add a touch of glam with some nail accessories such as rhinestones or pearls. Whatever your preference, we’ve got a list of ideas for you to take to the salon. Or if you prefer, why not have a got at DIYing it yourself!
Whether you prefer natural nail colors, soft pink polish or something with a bit of sparkle, here are some ideas for your upcoming special occasion.
Bridal Pink
You can never go wrong with a pink polish for your wedding day. This baby pink color is soft, yet just bright enough to draw some attention to your tips. You can even add some glitter polish to it to jazz it up and match the sparkle from your engagement ring and wedding band.
Elegant Lavender
Perhaps you want a less classic choice for the big day. This shimmery lavender shade leans pink in some lighting, but definitely looks purple in most settings. It’s light and different, yet still elegant and stunning with its subtle sparkle coming through.
Something Blue
If you’re searching for something blue to wear as part of wedding tradition, perhaps you want to wear it as your bridal nail look. This baby blue nail polish is a perfect color and is absolutely gorgeous. Just look at the depth seen in the layers of white glitter!
Bit of Glitter
This classic natural color choice has a pink undertone that gives off an elegant look. The base polish is sheer enough to create an illusion French manicure. We love that silver glitter was added for the sparkle and shimmer because you know, it’s your wedding day after all!
Lilac and Gold
Here’s another purple shade, this time a dusty lilac color for a wedding nails twist. Paired with gold glitter, this beautiful nail design will bring in lots of compliments.
Gorgeous Wedding Nails
Sometimes, simple is best. This pretty pale pink shade layered with sparkly glitter is perfect for any bride-to-be looking for elegant wedding nails. Make sure you seal it with a high gloss finish top coat for ultimate shine.
French Manicure
There’s no better time to wear a classic nail design like the French manicure than on your wedding day. There’s just something that screams bridal nails in this look, especially with the addition of silver glitter polish.
Beige and Lace
Try a nude nail polish for a neutral color as a base before adding a stamped lace design over it. We think this wedding nail art reminds us of a wedding veil!
Dreamcatcher Nail Art
If your dreams have come true and you’re marrying your Prince Charming then maybe you’ll love this dreamcatcher nail art as much as we do. It’s definitely not your classic bridal nails, but the soft girly pink paired with simple nail art on an accent nail is certainly still elegant for your wedding day. Add a beautiful rhinestone or two to complete the look.
Baby, it's Pink
This baby pink polish is leans on the brighter color side, so it’s fitting for those who want to be a little extra on their wedding day! We love how the glitter blends into the base and makes it more subtle.
Glitter Ombre Nails
Pick out a classic pink polish that you love and add a glitter ombre nail design. We’re sure the rainbow sparkles from the glitter will be matching your rings and happiness on your special day!
A Touch of Color
Pair a natural nail color like this pink toned one with some colorful glitter. It’s so simple but effective as your wedding nails!
White Wedding Nails
Again, it’s not a classic wedding nail design, but white nail polish is such a clean base color to work with. This bridal nail look went with a purple shade for the creative nail art design, tied in with silver foil accents.
