Classic French Tip
We know this one isn’t exactly new, but you literally cannot go wrong with this timeless nail design. It’s a classic for a reason; the fresh white tip on an otherwise clear-coated nail is elegant but understated.
The beauty of the French tip is that, since it is such a neutral style, it’s appropriate for both brides and guests alike to rock this style at the wedding.
If regular white doesn’t quite do it for you, you could take it up a notch by going with a different color for your tips. Try a nice pale pink shade or something brighter for more of a statement nail.
Silver and Gold
Weddings are a great excuse to get a little extra, so now may be the time to break out that metallic polish.
A silver or gold polish is a great way to add some shimmer and shine without being too in-your-face flashy. Plus, metallics are like fancy neutrals, so they usually won’t clash with what you happen to be wearing to the ceremony.
It’s a good idea to play into the undertones of your skin and your outfit with this trend. If you have cooler, pink undertones in your skin, try going with silver polish. For those of us with warmer, more golden undertones, gold or even a copper color nail polish will bring out those beautiful undertones.
Go Nude
When we say this, we’re talking about your nails. Please don’t go nude to the actual wedding ceremony.
In all seriousness, a solid neutral nude shade is perfect for wedding-day nails. It never clashes with anything, it doesn’t draw attention to you if you’re just a guest and don’t want to stand out too much, and it looks so good you can keep it on for the weeks following the event.
Get a nude shade that is close to you natural skin tone for an effortlessly classy look that works for every season, whether it’s a summer beach wedding or a winter wonderland ceremony.
All White
White nails have always been a pretty solid, classic way to go. This one may be reserved for the bride since, you know, white and such, but you could probably get away with wearing it as a guest, too.
As a bride, having white nails to match your white dress makes for an all-over clean and coordinated look. It also is understated enough to not draw attention away from that beautiful, ever-so-important ring you’ll be rocking.
Remember Your Nails
We know, there are so many things going on that you have to get ready for on that big day, but especially if you are the bride of the wedding, it’s important to get those nails looking good. If sitting in a nail salon isn’t your thing, you could always go for some press-on nails for a damage-free look.
