Favorite Hair & Nail Trends

Nails

Negative Space Nails - The latest wedding nail trend brides are loving! Gold traced outlines around a clear or light pink nail is modern and minimalist, but still makes your manicure special.

Chrome Nails - Chrome adds an extra sparkle with a metallic-like shine to show off your new wedding band. Choose a traditional gold, silver, or rose gold color, or a color to match your color scheme.

Glittery Tips - Keep your nails simple but give them a touch of sparkle by adding silver glitter polish to your nail tips.

Colored French Manicure - Instead of the traditional pink and white French manicure, try infusing some color. Replace the white tip with a color or replace the pink base with another color, or both!

Reverse French - Turn around the classic French manicure by treating your cuticle like the tip of your nail and add your stripe. Use color or traditional white to create a reverse look.

Hair

Statement Bows - Oversized statement bows are everywhere right now and make for a very ladylike wedding day look.

Chic Chignon - You can never go wrong with a classic chignon-the key is to keep it low and style a soft center part. Then frame your face with long tendrils curled away from the face.

Bridal Braids - Romantic, classic, relaxed, or bohemian: there is a braid to suit everyone.

Sleek & Simple Weddings Hair - No-fuss brides can opt for simplicity with a more controlled style. Sleek, ultra-glossy hair paired with a statement lip has a real impact.

Weddings Hair Flowers - Loose curls and classic updos get even prettier with floral halos. Flower crowns are back on trend and bigger then ever before. If you would like to keep it subtler, wear tiny flowers fastened into your curls.

The Chic Ponytail - Opt for a glamorous high-set wavy ponytail positioned at the crown or a low-set pony tied at the nape of the neck.

Add a Tiara to Your Wedding Day Look - With the royal wedding craze still in full force, adding a statement piece like a tiara is very on trend right now.

 

One of the best parts of wedding planning is getting to test all of these different ideas! Don't be afraid to get your nails done in the months leading up to your Big Day and have them do a few different colors so that you can see what is most "you!" In addition, make sure you schedule a hair and makeup trial and test out different styles. Ask the stylist what they think would suit you, test out updos and long styles, and have fun! Play with your hair and nails and makeup. This is the best time to do it!
