Your wedding day is almost here—cue the butterflies and the happy tears! 💛
You’ve chosen the dress, set the date, and found your dream temple.
Now, let’s talk about something that might seem small—but makes a big impact:
Your wedding day nails.
Why It Matters:
Your hands are going to be front and center on your big day. Think:
- Temple sealing
- Close-up ring shots
- Greeting guests
- Signing documents
Soft, polished, well-cared-for hands add that extra touch of confidence and elegance—and they’ll show up in more photos than you realize!
Nail Tips for LDS Brides
Whether you’re a glam girl or a natural beauty, there’s a look for everyone. Here’s how to prep your nails so they’re wedding-day ready:
1. Plan Ahead
Schedule your manicure for the day before the wedding (or two days before if you’re doing gel or acrylic).
Pro tip: Don’t wait until the last minute—you’ll be too busy with other details.
2. Keep It Simple
You’ll be wearing white in the temple, so keep your nail look simple, clean, and elegant.
Think soft pinks, neutral nudes, or classic French tips. Short-to-medium length is usually best.
3. Match Your Style
Pick a look that complements your personality and your dress.
• Are you classic? Try pale pink or ivory.
• Feeling romantic? Try sheer shimmer or soft blush.
• Want a little sparkle? A touch of glitter on one nail can be darling—just don’t go overboard.
4. Don’t Forget Your Hands!
Use lotion and cuticle oil leading up to the big day. Soft hands = stunning close-ups.
And don’t skip a final file and buff—even if you’re going polish-free!
Quick Tip for LDS Brides with Jobs that Require Short Nails
If you’re used to keeping nails ultra short or polish-free for practical reasons, consider a special treat for your wedding day. A light polish or a buffed natural nail is enough to feel special—without stepping outside your comfort zone.
One Last Thing…
Your wedding day is about sacred promises and joyful celebration.
But there’s something beautiful about taking care of the small things, too—like your hands that will hold his forever.
You’re almost there, beautiful bride.
From your smile to your fingertips, it’s your time to shine
