19 Stunning Wedding-Nail Ideas for Any Type of Bride

Looking for a low-lift, DIY bridal mani? Content creator Ari Bines suggests using good ’ol press-on nails. “Make sure you measure your nail size for the most accurate application,” she says, noting that this makes it less likely the nails will pop off while you’re dancing the night away.

The exact press-ons Bines used for this look are sold out, but you can still re-create the aesthetic with the Coconut Coffin set from Static Nails’s Bridal Suite and meticulously measured pieces of gold striping tape.

For her own wedding, New York-based nail artist Bari Elizabeth created this manicure with elements of her gown in mind. “I chose the soft, matte base to complement the white lace of my dress and added the dots,” she says. She encourages brides to go for a solid color with a simple design.

Another tip Elizabeth gives her bridal clientele? Don’t skip cuticle oil! “Whenever I do a bride’s nails,” she explains, “I always send them with a bottle of oil for the big day and strict instructions to apply it while they’re getting ready that morning along with hand lotion. It makes a world of difference when their photographer takes those memorable hand/ring photos.”
