In the same way that you can play around with your wedding color theme, you can do the same for your nails through fun color combinations that can serve as colorful accents to your dress. Here are some suggestions when working with various combinations:

• Play with light and dark: Stay in the same color family but pair a dark blue with a light blue or a hot red with its more muted version.
• Play with the color wheel: If you want to go for something really bold, check out a color wheel often used when painting and choose colors on the opposite sides. For instance, blue and orange or violet and yellow. If you want to go more complimentary, choose the color right beside the one you have like blue and purple.
• Stick to the same intensity: Go neon all the way and play with two vibrant colors for a beach wedding. Or go muted and matte, like white and gray, if you want a more cosmopolitan feel.
• Play with solid and textures: Stick to the same color family but play around with a glittery version and its more solid counterpart.
• Play with plains and prints: Have some nail art placed on complimentary nails on both your hands and feet. Play with some of your nails being painted in a fun pattern while the rest stay solid.
• Go ombré: Choose three to four shades in lighter to darker version of their color family and play with going from lighter to darker from out to in for your manicure and then in to out for your pedicure.

For this special day, why not have some fun and play around with your nails instead of sticking to the usual French tips? If you’re not so adventurous, you can opt for rich colors like marsala, forest green, or deep grays. If you’d like to have fun with nail art patterns, here are some cute ideas:

• Lace: Start with a neutral base like gray, champagne, or light blue then stick lace decals on top. Seal it in with a top coat.
• Wedding gift: Start with a neutral base and draw a little gift ribbon on one of your fingernails on each hand for a little fun. You can also add a little sparkle your nails with a little stone in the middle of the bow.
• Fairy dust: Start with a dark base like mauve or forest green then place gold sparkly polish around the tips of your nails in a random pattern to give the impression that you’ve dipped your hands in fairy dust.
