Makeup/nail polish color opinions, please!

Kristen, on June 17, 2021 at 12:05 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 7

Hi all my fellow brides!

I have a question about makeup/nail polish. My fiance and I are eloping on the 25th and being married in a private ceremony at a local park. I am wearing a white dress and sandals that will show my toes. We are having a few pics afterwards but I am unsure about any close-up pics of our rings/hands.

My thought is to just wear polish colors that I feel good in - not try too hard to match flowers or whatever (I will be carrying a small nosegay of periwinkle colored flowers). Below is a pic of my dress that I will be wearing, unless it doesn't fit...and no that is not me unfortunately! If this dress doesn't fit I will be wearing a different white dress but I can't find a good pic of it and I don't have it yet. Also below is a pic of the color of flower I am hoping I get; again I am not sure exactly what it will look like.

I am going to be doing my own makeup and polish probably, as I can't afford anything else. My fiance really likes red lipstick and nails, but I wonder if that would be "too much"? What about a pretty mauve?

Please weigh in on what colors you think would be pretty for a small summer wedding on an *ahem* "older" bride such as myself! Thank you in advance!

    I feel like you can never go wrong with a classic French.

    How about a neutral light pink/peach. Can’t go wrong.

    Mauve sounds lovely but red sounds fine too. I’m a pop of color kind of gal, so if I can sneak a bright red in somewhere, I will! (My wedding shoes were red sparkly sneakers, perfect for me even though it was a beachy blue kind of wedding )

    I love nude/neutral tones for wedding nails! You could have a red lip paired with neutral nails so it's not too much.

    I personally would go with a neutral nail or a French manicure if you’re going bold with your lip color. Love your dress!

    I prefer bold pops of color. As the bride you can wear anything you want.

    I honestly think if your fiance loves red, you like it and wear it all the time, then do red! But I agree with the others, a nice neutral peachy pink or mauve is a surefire winner if in doubt!
