We tend to associate weddings with white. This includes white outfits, accessories, and yes, even white nails. The majority of wedding nail looks are based on shades of white, or ultra-pale colours that have the same neutrality. These include cream, oyster shell, and ballet pink. This is especially true during spring when people want to keep their nails extra light. Some people like wedding nail art, while solid swatches can be stunning on their own. We’ve got over a dozen ideas for spring wedding manicures to suit your style.
