Christmas is the best time of year to enjoy the festivities.

Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year.
I enjoy decorating my home for the holidays, so you will usually find me on Pinterest looking up simple Christmas decor ideas or looking at magical Christmas weddings.
I’m sure most of you are like me and using this time to search the internet for Christmas decor ideas, recipe ideas, and more.
For some of us, it is creative Christmas nail designs.
Your bridal nails should be polished to perfection.
Coordinate your bridal party dresses for your Christmas wedding to match the traditional red and green colours.

Pinterest didn’t disappoint.

Choosing the best nail colour for Christmas weddings
Anything goes during the holidays.
With the leaves covered in snow and weather temperatures dropping and your wedding coming up soon, it’s time to consider getting your nails done.
Will you choose the standard bridal nail colours or incorporate some Christmas bridal nail colours to match your wedding theme?
We are talking warm shades like deep reds and dark greens.
You can incorporate cute Christmas symbols like snowflakes, Christmas trees, Santa hats, and reindeer without going overboard.
Is your wedding taking place right at the end of fall?
The deep burgundies and oranges will work perfectly.
A pop of colour to your white dress will make those Christmas nails stand out.
The best nail wedding colours for the holidays reflect the season’s gorgeous hues, such as the traditional white, green, and red.
This Christmas, I saw plenty of various styles of bridal nails.
And even when I ask my brides in our private Bridal Facebook groups, I am happy to see people embracing their styles entirely regarding nails.
Avoid sticking to the basic French tip manicures.
This season, the bridal Christmas nails that seem to be circulating are shimmering silvers, gold glitter, white snow swirls, and glossy reds.
If you’re more of a neutral nail colour bride-to-be, we included a few super fun twists to the classic French manicure.
They look so classy and not at all boring.
These cute Christmas bridal nail designs are great as they stand out against your gorgeous wedding dress!
