A pretty pastel manicure that's perfect for a wedding guest.
Wedding season is officially in full swing, and while you've probably already RSVPed, don't forget about the finishing touch: your manicure. Whether you're a bridesmaid, a close friend, or simply a plus-one, just because it's not your special day doesn't mean you should show up with cracked nails.
As a wedding guest, your fingertips deserve just as much attention as your outfit. Nail polish might seem like a small detail, but it can seriously elevate your look. This season, wedding guest nail inspo is all about playful elegance. Think neutrals, milky nails, minimalist nail art, and romantic rosy shades. Whether you're aiming for timeless and understated or bold and trendy, there’s a wedding-worthy nail look for every style and every season.
From garden ceremonies to black-tie affairs, we've rounded up the best nail ideas to complement the occasion.
Purple Rain
Go for a shade that brings all the vibes like this sweet purple in a stiletto nail shape. With slight swirls and a jelly texture to fit, it'll be a hit every time.
Neutral Gray
These gray nails serve as a neutral shade that goes with everything but also is a bit more exciting than a plain black wash. Plus, it'll look great with any outfit.
Sweet Pink
Pink is a nail color that will always look timeless and classic. This rounded mani showcases how even the simplest of hues can make an impact.
Funky Gems
For a nail scheme that is a bit more exciting, play around with gems. This set includes a mix of dainty flowers, pearls, and other sweet crystals.

Black Marble
If you ask me, the coolest nails are those that play around with textures. This one mixes in black and white for a dynamic feel.

Make short nails interesting by experimenting with contrast. This red manicure blends a touch of pink for a dreamy shortcake aura.
Pink Cat Eye
This pink cat eye adds a touch of chicness with its silver gems. The velvet texture looks so stunning.
Whimsical Browns
This brown manicure manages to portray both down-to-earth and edginess all in one. I love how it packs a punch without doing too much.
Blueberry Milk Nails
Blueberry milk nails are all the rage and this manicure looks good enough to eat. Don't you think?
Mix and Match
