15 Spring Wedding Nail Ideas, From Pearly Tips to White Chrome

When we think of weddings, we tend to think of white: White outfits, white accessories, and, yes, white nails. Most wedding nail looks feature shades of white or ultra-pale colors that provide the same soft neutrality, like cream, oyster shell, and ballet pink—and that's especially true in the spring when many people are looking to keep things extra light. While solid swatches of these colors can look gorgeous all on their own, some people prefer wedding nail art. Wherever you fall on the spectrum, we're here to help you with over a dozen spring wedding manicure ideas, which you'll find below.

3D White Chrome Nails

Opt for a chrome finish with 3D lace-like details if you're seeking a bold yet classic wedding manicure. Nail artist Aistė Haas created this look using pearlescent chrome powder over a cream base and topped it off with lace stickers she found on Amazon.

Ballet Slipper Pink Oval Nails

There's nothing wrong with a simple, solid, short manicure for your big day. A popular color choice is ballet pink. This shade is the Gucci Glossy Nail Polish in Ellen Blush ($35).

3D White Floral Nails

Haas created this delicate floral wedding manicure using flower stickers over a sheer pale pink base. She encased the stickers in a gel top coat and added tiny silver and pearly studs to further elevate the look.

Iridescent Pale Peach Almond Nails

We love this manicure because it's a classic neutral with a hint of unexpected shimmer. The warm-toned shade is Olive Ave's Nail Polish in Blossom ($12).

Baby Blue Chrome French Tips

Still trying to figure out what you're "something blue" will be? You could always opt for a baby blue chrome French manicure, like this one by nail artist Melanie Graves.

Short Sheer Nude Nails

These short, sheer, and nude lip gloss nails are picture-perfect, proving that sometimes, less really is more. Try the Gelcare UV Gel Nail Polish in Nude BB Cream ($20) for a similar look.

White Chrome French Tips

Look closely, and you'll notice that these pearlescent French tips feature tiny blooms on the ring and pointer fingers. Haas created this nail look by starting with white French tips and following up with chrome powder. Lastly, she added floral details for a sweet touch.

Sheery Milky Nude Oval Nails

For a clean, classic wedding nail look, grab a bottle of the Hermès Les Mains Nail Polish in Rose Coquille ($57). Two to three coats and you'll be ready for all the inevitable ring shots.

Sheer Pinkish Nude Nails

Perhaps the prettiest sheer wedding mani we've ever seen, this long oval-shaped nail look was created using Gelcare's fan-favorite Bare BB Cream ($20) nail polish. If you want to cop not only the color but the nail length, too, treat yourself to the Aprés Gel-X Nail Extension Kit ($117) and opt for Natural Long Round or Long Almond Nails.

Peachy Chrome Squoval Nails

Pale peach nails look magical with a chrome finish, making them a romantic pick for your big day. Nail artist Jen Seales topped off this set with Nails Luxe Offical Pearl Glaze, found in the Chrome Palette ($23).

Swooped French Manicure

This swooped French manicure stopped us in our tracks. The best part? It's easy to DIY with the ManiMe The Swoop Gel Nail Stickers ($16).

Pearly White French Tips

Haas created this pretty pearl nail look using Gelcare UV Gel Nail Polish ($20) in Rose BB Cream for the base. For the tips, she mixed Freshwater Pearl and Melo Melo Pearl.

Marbled Pearlescent White French Tips

At first glance, this looks like a basic oval-shaped French manicure. Take a closer look, though, and you'll notice that the pearlescent tips are actually marbled.

Long Pearl Shimmer Nails

Pearl accents look especially wedding-ready on an ultra-fine shimmer base. To recreate this look, you'll need Lights Lacquer Nail Polish in Diamonds Are Forever ($13) and the brand's 3D Pearl Nail Stickers ($7).

Short White Velvet Nails

How pretty is this short white velvet manicure? It was created using the Static Nails Pops for Champagne Round Velvet Effect Reusable Pop-On Manicure ($20). If you're considering going the press-on route, you'll want to check out Olive & June's Wedding Press-On Set ($40), too.
