Spring has officially sprung! That means it's time to retire your big coat, throw on your favourite floral dress and smell the roses. It also means that your nails have to come out of glove hibernation. But choosing a bridal manicure that fits in with your spring wedding palette isn't easy, but only because there are just so many options for nails. That's why we've rounded up the best spring wedding nails with design ideas to inspire, whether you're getting married or a guest. Oh, and if you're looking for summer nail inspiration, don't worry, we've got you covered here.
Spring Wedding Nails
1. Make Space
Negative space with a bit of bare nail showing is definitely one for the fashion-forward bride.
2. Florals for Spring?
But seriously, you can't go wrong with florals. Flowers will always be associated with spring, so we love this sweet nail art design in gold leaf.
3. Secret Underside
Can't choose between pastel or a bold colour? Then these nails are business on the front, party on the back, this look is darling and daring at the same time!
4. French Fade
This trending style is perfect for spring! Your nail artist can make the bring the traditional french manicure up to date using this technique of a less defined white tip.
5. Pretty in (Pastel) Pink
Spring provides a good excuse to experiment with bright colours, but you also can't go wrong with a soft pink. This spring look is guaranteed to make you feel gorgeous and polished on your wedding day.
6. Charming Beauties
Never before has there been more options for cool, modern studs and charms. It's not often that you see such gorgeous 3D bridal nail looks, but we think this subtle floral design is a great nod to springtime.
7. Throw Some Glitter On It
A subtle hint of glitter on an accent is simply stunning. You can recreate this style with practically any colour, so find what's best for your wedding palette, and get glittering. Bonus points for glitter hearts.
8. Say My Name
The lettering trend allows you to give your manicure a new meaning. We love the romance of having your new spouse's initials on your nails either in bold glitter or cute graffiti style.
9. Love in Lilac
If some of these styles are a little too offbeat creative for you, you can always return to an old spring favourite - pastels! Colours like this gorgeous, muted lilac will never steer you wrong for spring.
10. Matte-rimony
Even though glossy finishes will always have a place in our hearts, a spike in cool, understated matte designs has completely converted us.
11. Half & Half
Can't decide between two colours? Well now you don't have to! Embrace your favourite spring colours and include them in your look.
12. Something Blue
Looking for the perfect something blue? We love this sweet blue hue look complete with sparkles!
13. Hot Pink to Make Them Wink!
One for the bolder brides, dare to be different with hot pink wedding nails!
14. White with a Twist
Ivory, eggshell, cream, pearl — shades of white are always an apt choice for wedding nails. Add a little something extra with an opal-like finish that reflects the light off your nails, giving them an iridescent appearance.
15. Gold Touch
This simple gold band nail look is another modern take on classic white tips which we love!
16. Baby French with a Twist
This white-tipped nail look is a much smaller painted tip on a shorter-length nail and looks phenomenal if the tips are coloured. Think sorbet shades like sky blue, sea green and even lemon.
17. Ombre Barbie Nails
This style of manicure uses two (or more) shades of nail polish to create a softly blended, blurred effect with a powdery mattifying top coat.
18. Pearlescent Chrome
Adding just that little touch of shimmer to your mani, buff a chrome powder onto the nail to achieve that pearlescent glowing from within look.
19. Skittle Nails
Not sure which spring colour to paint your nails? Why not try them all out with the skittle nails! Paint each nail with a different shade or for a more subtle version of this trend, use varying shades of the same hue.
20. Heart Tips
How sweet are these lovely heart tip nails for a novel take on the Skittles nails trend. Use a nude shade on the base and paint an upside down heart shape onto the tip of the nails for a gorgeous spring look.
21. Oil Painting Inspired
These abstract painterly swipes give spring floral designs a deliciously 3D and textured effect.
22. Glints of Gold
Elevate your floral designs with hints of glimmering gold in the details. Perfect for catching the light!
