Indulging in a pamper session (or two) in the run-up to your wedding day can unlock a number of perks. As well as offering the ultimate way to destress, a day at the spa or the salon can help you feel truly prepared for your big day.
Including a professional manicure in your pre-wedding beauty regime harnesses many benefits of its own, with increased circulation, smoother skin, healthier nails and improved mental health hailed as just some of the advantages of manicures. Prepping your nails with a professional manicure can also be the final step in completing your wedding look, but what manicure ideas are made for brides?
Here we share the top wedding manicure ideas for 2022 so every bride can find a look they love.
A twist on the classic
The classic French manicure is always a favourite amongst brides, but you don’t have to play by the rules.
Adding a touch of glitter to your tips instead of opting for traditional white is a great way to add sparkle and cement your very own dreamy beauty look. You can even top your neutral base with metallic polish to add yet more pizzazz to your bridal ensemble.
A kaleidoscope of colour
Whether you’re going modern or traditional with your bridal gown, this manicure idea will provide the pop of colour you crave on your big day, and it’s bang on trend. Allure explains more about the colourful trend that’s taking the entire beauty scene by storm, and you can be as subtle or bold as you like:
“Colourful manicures like Skittle nails have been popular in recent years, but Nuñez says these new manicures will involve more than a simple gradient effect. She envisions the colour palette for the new manicures will better reflect the time and season with oranges and browns for the fall, a range of blues, greys, and whites for winter, or pretty pastels for spring. And multicolor manicures don’t have to be simply solid colours.”
A blooming delight
Complement your floral bridal gown by adding subtle blooms to your nails for a sweet bridal look that’s in touch with nature. From a smattering of delicate, white daisies on a nude base to more elaborate, watercolour-style roses, the possibilities are endless for a romantic, floral-inspired manicure design.
A timeless neutral
Brides looking to opt for a single colour should consider timeless red. Give a nod to the autumn season with a warmer red shade or go classic with a cooler red for a manicure that embraces your feminine side without being too out there.
Red nails look great on brides with pared-back modern wedding gowns, with deep, sexy red nails complementing a sleek, contemporary look to perfection.
A white wedding
Continue your white wedding theme with white nails for a classically clean look that screams bride.
Beware, however, as you encountered when shopping for your wedding gown, selecting the right white shade can be tricky. There are thousands of white tones to choose from – so will ivory, eggshell, dove, porcelain, pearly white, or bright white be the one for you?
