20 Trendy and Timeless Ombre Wedding Nails For Brides, Bridesmaids, and Guests

While you've likely already said yes to the dress (and veil and jewelry and shoes), figuring out your nail style for the big day is a big decision, too, and one that can tie your entire look together. Once trendy, ombre wedding nails are quickly becoming a new classic, with so many unique and chic ways to channel the look, from a perfectly polished nude to a fun and flirty pink sparkle.

For the girls who aren't into full-on nail art but want something a little more interesting than your basic French manicure, ombre is the perfect compromise, seamlessly transitioning from one color to another (or multiple) for a luxe layered look that's truly timeless. We've searched social media high and low for the best wedding ombre nails to inspire your own.
