As a bride, you dont want a super opaque white that looks like white-out white, says Seney.
Funny Bunny is a soft alternative.
Nude isnt universal, of course, so Robinson suggests considering your undertone when looking for your perfect match.
Those with neutral undertones will want to lean toward soft browns and muted pinks.
If that all sounds confusing, Robinson recommends using the “foundation test for nails.”
Robinson loves Essie Lady Like, a muted, mauve pink for deep to dark skin tones.

Seneys bridal nude pink polish of choice is OPI Put It In Neutral, a lighter nude pink.
Robinson loves BoysenBerry Candy from Kokoist, a light mauve shade with a sheer finish.
(Im thinking of going for a similar mani for my big day.)

Tee created this regal manicure using Beetles Gel Polish in Pearl.
Consider making it your manicure.
Light blue can be subtle enough to not compete with your dress.
Add chrome shimmer the way Anna (a.k.a.
@melanated.mani) did above for an accent to your bridal beauty look.
Anna used Stone Cold Fox from Death Valley Nails to create this cool almond-shaped manicure.
This color is playful, bold, and totally unforgettable, says Russell.
Both have slightly glossy finishes for an ultra-polished look.
