So you need to have a perfect manicure for this big day. We give you all our advice for perfect hands as well as 12 wedding nail ideas for an elegant and refined manicure.

A little tip to have perfect hands on the big day, remember to moisturize your hands frequently the week before your wedding, go up to your forearms so as not to leave any demarcation. To avoid dead skin you can also do a scrub, you will find some in stores like this great hand scrub from L'Occitane en Provence or this one from Caudalie , but you can also make your own using oil, honey and brown sugar. Your hands are now smooth, soft and perfectly manicured, it's time to put the wedding ring on them. ❤️

If you want to have a beautiful wedding manicure, you should avoid biting your nails so that your nail technician has a small length to work on.
For our most stressed brides, we have a few tips to share with you to stop biting them. Let off steam on something other than your nails, use a stress ball for example, your attention will be focused on something else and you will protect your nails. If the diversion does not work, there are also bitter nail polishes, like this one from ECRINAL available in pharmacies. You should no longer want to bite them after that…

Water softens your nails and makes them more fragile. However, in everyday life, we often have to wet our hands. If, for example, you are doing the dishes by hand, you can wear gloves to avoid this problem. If you have a swimming pool or are planning to swim before your wedding, avoid getting your nails wet by putting them under water.

If you want and can, do bridal manicure tests a few months before your wedding. This way, you can choose the shape that best suits your nails, define the length that elongates your hands, and test different manicure styles to choose your favorite!

When to do your wedding manicure? The ideal for a wedding manicure is to do it 1 or 2 days before the big day, this way you avoid any risk of breakage or cracking and you don't give the regrowth time to settle in.

If you choose a nail shape with sharp angles like the square or stiletto shape, be careful not to catch on your dress or your hairstyle, it would be a shame to damage them...

First of all, you need to choose the shape of your nails. There are 6 different nail shapes:

Almond-shaped bridal nails are an elegant manicure option that features a thin, tapered tip, similar to the shape of an almond. This nail shape is often considered feminine and sophisticated. It is loved for its ability to visually elongate fingers and make hands appear slimmer. Almond nails can be worn short or long.

Oval wedding nails are a manicure option characterized by a softly rounded shape, reminiscent of an egg. This nail shape is classic, elegant, and versatile. The edges of oval nails are subtly rounded, making them softer than square nails, but less tapered than almond nails. Oval nails are loved for their natural appearance, like the almond shape, they give the impression of longer, thinner fingers. This nail shape is a popular choice for those looking for a classic, timeless aesthetic. They can be worn both long and short.

Pointed bridal nails, often referred to as "stilettos," are a bold and distinctive nail shape that resembles a sharp, tapered point, reminiscent of the stiletto heel style. This manicure is often considered bold, dramatic, and edgy. This nail shape requires some length to achieve the desired effect and can be adorned with creative designs for an even more striking look. Pointed stiletto nails are perfect for those looking for an ultra-modern manicure and want to draw attention to their hands.

Square bridal nails are the most classic and timeless shape, characterized by straight edges and an overall square shape. This nail shape is distinguished by its sharp, clean and angular appearance, with straight corners at 90 degrees. Giving an elegant, simple and clean aesthetic to your hands.

Ballerina bridal nails are a trendy and elegant nail shape. This nail shape features a rectangular base with corners that taper upward to create a flat, slightly squared tip. Ballerina nails are loved for their clean, sophisticated look. This manicure strikes a balance between modern chic and classic understatement, making it a popular choice among nail art and manicure enthusiasts. Ballerina nails are often worn long, but they can also be shortened for a more understated look.
