It's Bridal Season, and I Can't Stop Pinning These 21 Wedding Nail Designs

I'm not engaged, nor am I expecting to be anytime soon. But I'm just a girl, and it's my prerogative to pin things to my Pinterest board, crowdsource for wedding-day manicures, and stay up to date on the best bridal hairstyles. After all, if an engagement ever happens, I want to be prepared.

I also have multiple friends getting married this summer, which makes sense considering June is the classic kickoff to bridal season. As such, I've been helping them with their big-day beauty prep by researching the best hair accessories, sending them all the makeup recommendations I can muster, and flooding their phones with elegant, romantic, and timeless nail designs. Ahead, see the 21 wedding nail colors and designs I can't (won't) stop sharing.

The Classic Wedding Manicure

The almond shape, the sheer finish, the milky shade—this manicure is perfect.

Snow White

I love when brides choose a classic shade of bright white for their big day.

This is another timeless wedding nail color. It's giving "old money," and I love it.
