Planning a wedding can be overwhelming—especially when it comes to last-minute details. Even if the guest list has been finalized for weeks and the calla lilies are en route from California, it’s easy to forget about one key accessory: the matrimonial manicure.

After all, with all eyes on a bride's hands, the right nail shade need not be an afterthought. Why not riff on the time-tested adage—something old, something new, something borrowed, something (discreetly) blue—as a thematic guide? Or opt for an iconic nude, a shade that never actually gets old. Unconventional brides may go for something surprising and fresh, like NARS' Pastorale (a rose-gold update on your favorite light pink shade) or Chanel’s Espadrilles (a fiery retro orange-red reminiscent of your favorite Palm Beach brights).

Whether your nail preference is muted, bold, classic, or unexpected, here, the perfect hue for every bride.
