A bride makes many decisions while planning her wedding look, be it her wedding gown, makeup, or hairstyle. But most brides often tend to overlook what nail polish she is going to wear for her big day.
Selecting the perfect shade for your manicure that also matches your bridal bouquet is super important! This is because choosing a color that complements the hues of your flowers in the bouquet ties your whole look together and makes everything look cohesive.
Not to forget, everyone’s eyes will be on you, your dress, your bouquet, and your nails when you’ll walk down the aisle. And you obviously will want them to fall head-over-heels for your beautiful manicure.
Moreover, you’ll definitely want your nails to look absolutely gorgeous in the close-up shots that your photographer will take of your hands, flaunting the stunning engagement/wedding ring and your flower bouquet.
There is a super huge variety of shades available in the market. If you are confused about what shades to pick for your wedding functions, this small guide will help you a lot.
The first and foremost thing you have to keep in mind while picking a shade for yourself is your skin tone because some shades can wash you out. Neutrals and lavenders or lilacs are quite universal, though. They’re very bridal and safe colors to go for as they suit all skin tones. They give a modern look too and will match almost all bouquets, if not all.
If you belong to the medium-dark skin category, the following shades are your best bet: pale pink, peach, coral, dove gray, bronze-golden, off-white, beige, and cream.
For the fair skin category, light pink and powder blue shades will suit you the most.
If your floral arrangement consists of elegant red roses, do not be afraid to wear red nail polish. Red goes with every single skin tone, and it looks fantastic with scarlet red lips.
The second thing you must take into consideration is the season in which your wedding is happening. For summer weddings, you can wear bright colors such as yellow, fuchsia, peach, hot coral, dark blue, etc.
For autumn and winter weddings, you can go bold and make a statement with deep red, deep wine, dark purple, gray or gunmetal shades. You can also go for beige, cream, and light blue shades if you don’t want to experiment and want to keep it simple.
The third thing you can consider while choosing the right shade to match your bouquet is the overall ambiance and aesthetic of the day, i.e., your wedding décor. Depending on the overall decoration, you can choose to go with a shade that goes well with it or contrasts it.
Tip: Gel nail polishes are brides’ go-to as they last longer than the regular ones and are chip-resistant, which is a great go-to deal.
