“Nail care is one area some brides overlook, but they forget about all the handshakes, people looking at the ring and the popular photographs featuring hands,” a local manicurist explains. So don’t neglect your nails!

Choose nail color ahead of time. A fabric swatch for matching nail color is helpful. French Manicures keep hands looking soft and natural and can be a good compliment to any gown. And don’t forget your toes! A pedicure improves a bride’s self-image, especially when wearing open-toed shoes!

After getting your manicure, try to avoid dishwashing, gardening, and other chores that take a toll on your hands or use gloves if you have to do certain things. This will help keep your nails in top shape for your wedding day. Keep a good hand moisturizer nearby as well so your hands stay soft and touchable after washing.
