The Best Bridal Nails for Summer Weddings
Hi, I’m married now! I recently tied the knot in a beautiful June ceremony. I also decided on my nails the night before the wedding (oops)! I didn’t want to care too much, but I knew there would be lots of photos of my hands. I’m a pretty simple gal and wanted my nails to be classic, simple, and summery. Here are some of my favorite inspiration photos for summer bridal nails, as well as what I finally decided on! Enjoy!
Tiny White Florals
I love the tiny white floral details on these nails! They frame the nails nicely but aren’t overwhelming. I also love the ~bridal~ white, but these would look amazing with so many different colors. These nails are a set I did on myself- I’ll be sharing a DIY nail tutorial soon! You can find many of my at-home nail essentials here.
Swirly Pearl Nails
I’m actually in love with these. The shimmery pearl polish is so elegant and brings such a fresh twist to the classic french tip! It’s also pretty simple to achieve the effect- just lay down the polish and use a dotting tool to swirl it around before drying/curing. I’ve had great results with this gel polish.
Milky Pink Nails
These milky pink nails are modern, subtle, and pretty. I love that they have more depth than a classic nude nail. They’re incredibly natural but very polished- perfect for the bridal aesthetic! I personally haven’t found the perfect polish to recreate this look (I try not to buy too many bottles), but I’ll let you know when I do.
White Flowers and Pastel Accents
The peeping florals and pastels of this set are so summery and beautiful! They’re a lovely way to bring some color and uniqueness to your bridal look. I also love the subtle shimmer in the nude polish.
Whimsical Floral Nails
Calling all whimsical, garden fairy brides! These gorgeous nails fit right in to outdoor ceremonies and will look so lovely wrapped around your bouquet. The purple is a fun detail, but white flowers would be a bit more subtle (if that’s your style). Paint flowers on all your fingers for a bouquet you never have to put down!
Colorful Wildflower Nails
Summer weddings can be so bright and full of color. Why not let your nails join in on the fun? I love the idea of floral french tips, and the petals could even match your color scheme! Too cute!
Nude Pink Chrome Nails
You can’t go wrong with chrome. These nails were actually my first choice for my own wedding, but I hated the shape of the press-ons I made (oops). Chrome powder elevates any simple nail look, whether it’s nude, pink, or white! These nails are from @maniwithsami on TikTok.
Dainty Flower Vine Nails
White florals make yet another appearance. I love how the green vines add a little more nature to the design! I also think this set would be extra gorgeous with a milky white on the solid nails rather than the pure white. But either way, this set is a stunner.
Pink and Milky White Ombre
These nails just scream bridal to me! A pink and white ombré is like a softer, more natural french tip. It’s pretty, elegant, and simple. Love. I ended up using these press-ons from Olive and June for my wedding for a really similar look!
There are so many options for summer wedding bridal nails!
I hope this helped give you some ideas! Or, if you’ve got too many ideas, maybe it helped you narrow things down. Picking your bridal nails shouldn’t be stressful- it’s such a small detail in the grand scheme of things! No matter what you pick, your day will be beautiful. And so will you🙂
Let me know if you have any questions! I’m always happy to chat nails or wedding details.
As always, thanks so much for reading. I’ll see you soon!
xoxo,
Lindsay
