Wedding season is in full swing — and whether you're saying "I do," standing beside your best friend at the altar, or attending as a guest who's fully committed to looking stunning, your nails are part of the look. Here's what our team at Elle Nail Bar has been creating this wedding season, and what we recommend for every role in the bridal party.

For the Bride

Bridal nails are one of the most personal decisions a bride makes in the lead-up to her wedding. You'll be photographed more than you've ever been photographed in your life — close-ups of the ring, the bouquet, the vows — so your nails need to be flawless.

The most popular bridal looks we've done at Elle this season:

  • Classic sheer French manicure — timeless, clean, never wrong
  • Glazed donut / milky pearl — soft, luminous, and absolutely dreamy in photos
  • Soft white with gold foil accents — a modern take on bridal nails with just a hint of glamour
  • Blush pink with micro rhinestones — delicate and feminine, perfect for romantic settings
  • Bio gel extensions — for brides who want length and absolute durability on the day

We always recommend booking your bridal appointment 2–3 days before the wedding — close enough to look freshly done, but enough time to fix anything if needed.

For the Bridesmaids

Matching bridesmaid nails are a lovely touch, but they don't have to be identical. We love doing tonal sets — where everyone gets a variation of the same colour family. One bridesmaid might go sheer blush, another milky white, another soft pink. The effect in photos is cohesive but not cookie-cutter.

The key for bridesmaids is choosing a look that's also wearable after the wedding. You'll be in these nails for weeks — pick something you love on its own, not just in the context of the day.

For Wedding Guests

As a guest, you want nails that are polished and intentional without trying to upstage the bridal party. Our favourite guest-appropriate looks this season:

  • Nude or beige with a glossy finish — sophisticated and universally flattering
  • Soft terracotta or dusty rose — warm, seasonally appropriate, and beautiful
  • Subtle chrome accent nail — a single shimmer nail adds interest without being over the top
  • Classic red gel — confident and timeless, always appropriate
