Nails for the Big Day

So now you have the perfect dress, shoes, and jewelry; but one accessory that is usually brushed over is the nail color. When brides get engaged one of the first things they do is go get their nails done (if it isn't already done) because they know for the first few weeks of their engagement all anyone is going to want to see is the ring. 

Even though your nail color or design is not the most important detail of the wedding day itself, your nails too can make a statement or compliment your total look. Some popular options are french tips or jeweled nails; those are great but it is also important to make sure your nail design works for your over all look.











Another important thing to remember if you still don't think your nail color choice is important is this; when the close up shots are taken of your bouquet, your nails will also be co-stars in those pictures.

Below are pictures of popular nail colors and bouquet paring highlights from the fantastic "greylikewedding.com."
