Bridesmaids having the same nail color on toes and hands?

I have decided not to say anything because I’ve already let them choose the style dress and shoes they want whatever hair style they want and makeup. Some of them are doing their own makeup and hair. Like a couple of you guys said it’s not that important! Thank you guys for all your options and input!

View Quoted Comment Actually Judith , I did choose both my mother and soon to be mother in law dresses! I gave all my bridesmaids earrings that I want them to wear to match. I feel like this is MY wedding and we are paying for it so if anybody has a problem with wearing the same earrings then they can simply be a guest. I think I have been very nice by letting them choose their dress and shoes. Also whether or not their going to get makeup or do your own along with hair styles. But thank you for your opinion.

In my opinion, you defiantly do NOT need to pay for them to get their nails done. Most people would go get them done before a big event like this anyways. When my sister got married, we all had a group chat and agreed on a color tone (like a blush pink) and went with that. All our nails looked extremely similar and came out very nice. It's completely your decision, it you want your bridesmaids to nails to look the same, why not!? It makes for great pictures, and I'm sure they'd be happy to. Good luck!

The bridesmaids can all match their nails, especially since you already provided a polish to make it easier for them. These other people are stressing over nothing. You Asked your bridesmaids to be in your wedding and they Accepted. I'm sure your ladies were well aware of the pomp and circumstance that come with weddings. Besides, you seem like a pretty relaxed bride. Everyone picked a dress that fit their style, matching nails will bring the whole wedding party's look together.

P.S. I did the same for my bridesmaids. I asked them to pick whichever fuchsia dress they felt comfortable in. They decided to match their nails, hair, and accessories on their own (to not look to mismatched/hodgepodge).

I agree with long standard accepted etiquette for all social occasions, including but not limited to weddings. That while clothing for participants in a ceremonial occasion may either be dictated by the type of occasion ( graduation, confirmation, baptism) or chosen by those leading or hosting ( B & G) choose clothes only) , outside of that they only let others know of the appropriate level of formality of the occasion, and allow all adult guests, or escorts of participants, to choose the color, style, and type of clothing they will wear. And all, participants family, escorts and guests, choose in all matters of their grooming and personal appearance, including hair cut color and style, makeup/ skin, facial hair, tattoos or religious markings, and personal jewelry. Due to the influence of TV and the wedding industry, a lot of people take, it is my wedding, and I choose the type of celebration, the location, menu, decorations, music, photographs or video, and ceremony content, and who will participate................ To mean, I am Queen for a day and control everything anybody in my orbit does on all occasions associated with my wedding, including days before and after, all parties, and every last detail of the dress, grooming, and personal appearance as well as clothing, of any WP , family, participants and guests. It has always been considered rude for brides to treat their family or wedding party like props to decorate as they choose. Or to be disrespectful of the fact that adults are considered capable of choosing their own appearance, once given guidelines, and other should not boss them around. Only absolute monarchs, and tyrants, have such rights to dictate the behavior and appearance of others. Others are usually viewed as egotistical, or ignorant of social manners, or both. It is the day you get married. And ceremonial things, you may choose. But where other people's appearance or behavior are concerned, it is not your day to control everything. That is discourteous to your closest family and friends.
At 4, one of my twins decided that his birthday was the day to dictate what everyone else would do. Age appropriate mistake for a 4 year old. Unbecoming ignorance of acceptable social behavior in an adult. The fact that some people may indulge you, does not mean they won't talk about your ill manners endlessly for a long time. I still agree with standard etiquette, that party hosts or couples marrying assume all adults are capable of dressing and grooming themselves without interference, once given the level of formality.

Yes, agreed 100%

Okay so, most likely they're planning on getting their nails and toes done anyway, regardless if you ask for a certain color to be used.. So I believe that you can tell them that you prefer a certain color, and there shouldn't be any issues.. I definitely do not think that you having to pay for a manicures and pedicures on all your bridesmaids, Just because you asked for a certain color to be used is necessary... because like I said, they are most likely getting it done anyway.. Good luck with everything, and I'm sure no matter what, everyone will look their best!!

I was just a bridesmaid and the bride requested we got our nails a certain way due to some people would get outrageous nails. I didn’t have a problem with it. If it’s a problem to the bridesmaid I don’t feel they should of agreed to the position.

I completely agree with this too. I can't tell you how many times I've been a bridesmaid without getting my nails done, so people shouldn't assume that all bridesmaids are going to get them done anyway. If I were a bridesmaid and the bride gifted me nail polish and asked me to paint my nails myself in that color, then I would have absolutely no problem with that.

I would say don't stress yourself about that because no one will be taking photos of the bridal nails. But if it's just some you would like to do to have fun with it.then go for it! My bridal crew are all different in many ways so the only thing I'm strict on is having the same shades of color for dress and material but not the same style. Hair and makeup will be similar as well. But of course for nails and feet nothing to drastic that doesn't go with the color scheme of dress. (no hot pink nails lol)

View Quoted Comment Covering the cost? My bridesmaids got everything themselves. I’m not rich😂

View Quoted Comment Who cares? Like hairstyles, when all are similar it is spooky, not normal. Except little kids playing twins, most everyone makes a point of wanting to be an individual, whenever there is a uniform. You have already taken away any pride they may have in their dress, nothing special about all the same dress. Leave their bodies to them to decide, own hair style, facial hair, nails, make-up, and personal jewelry are not part of the ceremonial clothes. They are the choice of each individual, always.
