The Top 12 Pinterest Wedding Nail Ideas for 2025

Once upon a time, the term "wedding nails" was practically code for a few coats of OPI's Bubble Bath or Essie's Ballet Slippers. And while you'll likely still lean toward a neutral look when it comes to weddings—especially if you're the guest of honor or part of the wedding party—the Pinterest nail ideas currently taking over our feeds promise so many different ways to pull that off. From naked nails adorned with a veil of shimmer to pearl-effect wedding manicures that practically double as jewelry, 2025's top manicure trends are sure to impress.

To help give you a complete rundown of the wedding nail ideas set to dominate next year, we tapped Meghan Ho, Senior Social Media Associate and resident trend expert here at the Knot. Ahead, we're bringing you a list of the top 12 wedding nail ideas straight from Pinterest, whether you want something ultra-classic or modern and cool.

The Top Pinterest Wedding Nail Ideas for 2025

According to Ho, simple is the name of the game for 2025 wedding nails. "Whether it's French tips, neutral tones or even a subtle ombré, next year's wedding nail trends tend to add a special element to a wedding look without being overly flashy," Ho says.

But, as previously mentioned, this certainly doesn't mean you have to stick to solid baby pinks or sheer neutrals. "An exciting trend you'll likely find on Pinterest right now is the incorporation of tiny details like gems, light sparkles and delicate flower art to add more individuality to a wedding manicure," she adds. To see what we mean, scroll through the list below featuring the top 12 Pinterest wedding nail ideas for 2025.

A modern, cool take on a classic look, this wedding nail trend consists of a pearly white polish textured with teeny swirls for a shimmering, oyster-like effect. Whether done all over the nail, as a unique take on a French manicure or perhaps a mix of both, this chic look feels oh-so right for rooftop city weddings and beachy ceremonies alike.

Want unique wedding nails that still feel classic? We love nail artist Elvira Safina's take on the pearlcore trend featuring clusters of teeny 3D pearls scattered across natural nails. The best thing about this one? There are endless other directions you can go here, from a single pearl dotting each nail to a neat row sitting pretty underneath French tips.

The "clean girl" aesthetic is still alive and well, and few things embody it better than a fresh set of almond-shaped, simple wedding nails. If your natural nails don't provide the length this look requires, ask your nail artist for extensions and pick out a polish color that closely resembles the shade of your nail beds. This elegant look is a great choice for to-be-weds, wedding party members and wedding guests alike.

5. Something Blue Bridal Nails

We can't talk about wedding manicure trends without mentioning the fact that the search for "fun blue nails" is currently up 260% on Pinterest. If you're a bride still looking for your "something blue," consider it found. Whether you take inspo from Melanie Graves and decorate your tips with dainty blue flowers or go for an allover, baby blue hue, you simply can't go wrong.

6. Micro-French Manicures

Margot Robbie's micro-French manicure took the world by storm earlier this year, and the trend has shown no signs of slowing down. An updated version of the classic French tip, it's a simple and elegant look that's especially flattering thanks to its nail-lengthening effects. Plus, it's easy to maintain since its neutral base disguises new growth.

7. Bow Nail Art

If you thought blue nails were having a major resurgence, wait until you hear about bows. Currently, searches for bow nail designs are up a whopping 2,220% on Pinterest. You can expect the trend to take on many forms, from delicate ribbons painted on accent nails to bold, 3D versions adorning every finger. From to-be-weds to guests, this is a fun, festive wedding nail idea suited for anyone attending the party.

White is an obvious choice for a wedding manicure—whether for wedding party members, wedding guests or to-be-weds—but white wedding nails can often come off a bit too harsh or WiteOut like. Enter: milky white nails. Delicate and refined, the bridal-worthy shade looks stunning on all nail lengths and skin tones.

9. Chrome French Manicures

This modern manicure trend takes a longtime classic and combines it with the reflective, shimmery "Glazed Donut" nails made popular by Hailey Bieber. Not only is it a perfect way to add a luxe touch to an otherwise simple French manicure, but it's also a look that feels equal parts timeless and fun.

A go-to for bride and bridesmaid nails alike, simple glazed donut nails are sure to stay in the spotlight for years to come. Best achieved by painting your nails with your neutral of choice and topping them with chrome powder, there are multiple ways to sport this look—from icy bridal blues to warm nudes and pearly pinks.

11. Natural Short Nails

If wedding press-on nails or Gel-X extensions aren't your thing, keep it understated by topping your natural, short nails with a trending wedding nail color like Biosculpture's Sweet Candy Breath (Sophia Richie's pick) or OPI's Funny Bunny (Vanessa Hudgens's). This is a look you can never go wrong with—no matter your role in the wedding.
