When it comes to pre-wedding beauty prep, one of the important things brides consider is their nails. Despite being a small detail among the dress, hair, and makeup, the nails become equally impactful when you have a ring on your finger. And with Christmas not too far away, we thought it would be fun to explore some creative options for a festive-themed wedding. So if you’re planning a wedding around the most cheerful time of the year, here are some designs to help inspire your look.
Snowflakes & Stars

Instead of going for the usual and getting ombre shades or solid colors, opt for unique details that enhance the look. These snowflakes and hanging stars can elevate the gorgeous classic manicures to something even more striking. You can either go bold and add stones for a bit more bling or keep it subtly glam with hints of glitter and smaller, delicate designs.
A Metalic Touch

We get that some brides may be looking for something simpler but enough to make a statement. If you’re not a fan of glitter and beads, opt for a clean look with metallic details. We love the simplicity of this sliver art done on a single nail against the solid red, enough to embrace the festive season without being too bright and out there. Another option is taking a classic ivory manicure and adding an edge with a delicate silver band for a minimalistic look.
Play With Gold

Do you like abstract concepts? If so, then perhaps you could try out a design similar to this one done by Shuga Studio. The halftones and gold foil accents give a playful and modern look for the offbeat bride who loves to get creative. For more gold overlays, have a look at this work by Merlin Nails. Apart from looking perfect for the winter season, it is a fun way to incorporate your something blue if you’re a fan of that sweet little tradition.
Magical Ombre

Ombre shades are popular options that probably won’t ever go out of style. We love this work in green and how it blends with the white, perfectly showing off modern elegance. Fit for a festive winter wedding, this purple shade with a hint of pink and white gives all the feels of an enchanted fairytale. So if you’re deciding to add some color to your wedding dress instead of the traditional white, complement the look with nails like these, which also allow you to get some stunning shots of your wedding ring.
