So, you think you’ve considered every detail of your wedding.  Venue? Check. Wedding dress? Check. Guest list? Check. Check, check, and more checks. Still, there’s one selection that you may have forgotten to make: your nail color! Your nails may not be as important as your venue or dress on the big day, but they deserve to be considered. You’re not going to want to see chipped nails wrapped around your bouquet in all those pictures. Don’t forget to book a manicure or set aside some time to pamper yourself. You’re also not going to want to be flaunting last week’s neon nails if your wedding colors are all pastels. Of course, it does make sense to paint your nails to match your wedding’s color scheme if you’re planning ahead.
