From bridal bows to pearl accents, nail your marriage manicure with these stunning designs.
There’s a long list of to-dos to check off in preparation for a wedding — not least of which is deciding which nail design will be the one come the big day. And we’ve got a hot take for the soon-to-be brides out there: Wedding nails don’t have to be basic.
From bridal bow accents and heart-shaped tips to chrome polishes and 3-D pearl adornments, there are endless ways to elevate a nuptial nude mani without outshining your ring — or your dress. Here, we break down five of our favourite wedding nail designs for 2024, and how to recreate them.

From Honor to Tanner Fletcher, New York’s Bridal Fashion Week collections for the Spring 2025 season were rife with bow-bedecked designs. Our advice to 2024 brides? Get ahead of the trend, and flaunt a set of ribbon-adorned nails on your big day.
Forever feminine and eternally chic, bow designs add a subtle touch of elegance to a neutral base. As seen on the stunning manicure above, you can limit your ribbon placement to just a couple of nails (most importantly, on your ring finger), or you can go all-out with a full set. For a cohesive look, match the colour of the bows to your dress, or your wedding day bling. It’s all in the details.
Though you could have a manicurist hand-paint this design, nail stickers can help cut the cost. Deco Beauty’s Coquette nail stickers are easy to apply and come with tons of bow-shaped options to choose from. (These are also fun to play with DIY-style for pre-wedding festivities, like your bachelorette weekend.)
