Wedding manicure for the modern bride

Bridal manicure - tips

Nail design, like other details of a festive wedding look, is influenced by fashion trends. However, the most important condition is neatness and compliance with several important requirements:

• Harmony and generality - even the trendiest and most interesting design can spoil the harmony of the bride's wedding look if it is absolutely mismatching the dress, hairstyle, makeup and bouquet;
• Restraint and proper colors – you should avoid unnecessary vulgarity when the nails shimmer with many colors, there is the abundance of decor and patterns. Dull dark shades also will not suit such a celebration (with the exception of matching the color scheme of the celebration). A manicure should be gentle, neat and elegant, so that just at one glance at the girl's hand it becomes immediately clear that the coveted ring is about to be put on it;
• Beauty and comfort - the length of the nails is just as important as the design. The nails should be the length that will remain as comfortable as possible for the bride at all stages of the wedding. It is best to give preference to the usual shape and length, which will allow not to think about manicure during the wedding.

Wedding stylists recommend to trust a professional. An experienced manicure master will help to choose the perfect design: show him your dress, accessories, tell how you conceive your wedding look. And it will be much easier for the master to offer several good ideas from which you can choose the perfect modern design of nails for a wedding.
 

Let’s speak about the shape of the nails

The current trendy manicure is not about all trendiest colors and decorations. First of all, it should look natural and gentle, matching the bride's wedding look. However, fashion does not take into account one important point - every girl is unique. The shape of the hand, the length of the fingers and the structure of the nails are different for everyone. Meanwhile, the final result very strongly depends on these features.
That is why the shape should be chosen based on girl’s unique features:

• Square shape - it can be safely attributed to the wedding classics, which suits almost everyone. Square nails should not be made too short and sharp. A slightly rounded elongated square looks much better. For many years, a traditional combination for brides has been a neat French on square-shaped nails;
• Almond shape is the perfect choice for a luxurious, stylish bride who keeps up with fashion. Such a manicure usually involves a fairly large length of the nail plates. Therefore, if the bride has not had such a manicure before, it should be done about a week before the wedding in order to have time to adapt to it;
• Round shape – good choice for large hands with rather wide fingers. Short round nails will make your hands visually smaller, more graceful and beautiful;
• Oval shape - makes the fingers gentler and more feminine. This classic shape will help to complement the bride’s sensuality. However, if you have a short or too wide nail plate, this option may not look the best.
• Pointed shape - looks best on long, slender fingers, making them look daintier. Floral patterns of delicate pastel shades will look great hear. Such a manicure looks incredibly stylish when complemented with modern airy wedding dresses.
   

Trendy varnish colors for the bride's manicure

Most girls prefer to choose light, delicate varnish colors, which will match the wedding dress in the best possible way. Very few people make the choice in favor of bright contrasting colors and patterns. Therefore, we can safely say that for many seasons in a row, milky and beige colors will remain the trendiest ones.
White wedding manicure
The entire palette of milky shades symbolizes something delicate, pristine and innocent. White nails always look very festive. For a wedding celebration, they are appropriate like no others. Without a doubt, a white wedding manicure will perfectly complement the luxurious look of the bride.
Some girls often find pure white as uninteresting and simple. However, we must not forget about numerous undertones and shades with a slight sheen of other colors. In addition, trendy methods of decorating nails allow to create the most interesting and original design even on a simple white base.
The bride's manicure in white colors should be neat and natural, emphasizing the girl's chastity. Therefore, choosing this color, it is better to abandon the long length and give preference to the rounded shape of the nail plates. Golden geometric patterns, pearl rubbing or rare inserts of tiny pearls will look great on white nails.
Beige wedding manicure
Nude and creamy shades of beige look very natural and adorn any nail shape. Despite the apparent simplicity and the ability to blend in with the skin tone, well-chosen decorative accents can turn such a manicure into a real work of art. When guests pay attention to the wedding ring and the bouquet of flowers, they will first of all notice the delicate romantic nail design, which is made using such an elegant and natural varnish.
Choosing beige colors for the bride's manicure, you should pay attention to the shades that will harmoniously match not only the dress and accessories, but also favorably set off the skin tone. Cold shades will look great on milky fair skin, whereas warm shades of beige will better suit the darker and bronze skin.
An ideal complement to a beige wedding manicure will be the decor of small sparkling sequins, crystals, small beads, as well as neat patterns and designs on several fingers. It will look very beautiful and festive.
 

Trendy wedding manicure: fashionable designs and interesting ideas

The wedding ceremony is a celebration of beauty, tenderness and love. At the same time, this is also a very eventful celebration, during which the bride needs to look perfect, dance a lot, receive congratulations from guests, and participate in traditional rituals. Her movements should not be hindered or constrained by anything. Therefore, it is worth choosing the shape, length and design so that the nails do not cling to the light airy fabrics of the veil and the dress itself.
Bridal manicure should not only be delightfully beautiful, but also comfortable to wear. Try to think over even the smallest details so as not to face any inconvenience during the celebration. The wedding should be full of joy, happiness and fun, and not frustration due to an accidental snag on a veil or dress.

When is the best time to get a wedding manicure?

Considering the fact that on the day of the ceremony the bride's hands should be in perfect condition, it is worth doing a manicure as close to the appointed date as possible. However, if you decide on something new, for example, an unusual length or shape, it is best to schedule a session 4-5 days before the wedding in order to get used to the new manicure. In case when no special changes are expected, but for design, it is better to sign up with the master on the eve of the wedding or two days in advance.
