Nailin' Your Wedding Look

Now if there is one thing I am obsessed with, it is finding new fabulous nail colors. If you are the kind of girl who has five shades of polish that are practically the same color, but swear they are very different, then everyone will probably expect you to have some fabulous nail color on your wedding day. Here are some ideas for you to “nail” your wedding day look!

When the royal wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William took place in April of 2011, every little detail was documented. Including, the nail color that beautifully graced Princess Kate’s fingernails. To complete her royal look, she opted for a perfect combination of Essie Allure and So Laque Rose Lounge. Light pinks and neutrals are always a favorite for many brides, and I can assure you that if it was perfect for Kate, it will be perfect for you! Just like your hair and makeup, make sure you have a test-run for your nail color. No one wants to be rushing to change your nail color moments before you walk down the aisle.

For those of you who aren’t a huge fan of pinks and neutrals, try a classic French manicure. A French manicure will go with beautifully with a white or ivory wedding gown and absolutely everything in your honeymoon wardrobe. Don’t be afraid to be picky, after all, it is your wedding day and there will be plenty of pictures of you and that gorgeous ring!

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!

Now what woman doesn’t want a new, fabulous pair of shoes for her wedding day! Out are the days of white slippers and in are the days of brightly colored statement high heels. They don’t say you have to “look your best head to toe” for no reason!  

From comfy colored sneakers to glittered heels, we have seen it all! When choosing your wedding day kicks, it is important to remember that you will spend about 6 hours on your feet, so make sure you will be comfortable. Like any pair of shoes for a special occasion, make sure you take your shoes for a test drive, whether it be with your wedding dress for bridal portraits or with your sweatpants for chores around the house.

Many brides choose to make their shoes their “something blue.” This is an easy way to incorporate your blue into your wedding day look, even if it is just for the pictures! Other brides choose colored shoes to coordinate with their bridal party’s dresses. Whatever you choose, make sure your wedding photographer gets some shots of this final touch to your wedding day look!
