Everyone is getting down to the little details now...it's so fun, but still so odd to me. I don't think I'm going to have a makeup trial. I never wear makeup and if I did put any on it would be so faint that no one would really be able to tell anyhow.
I did however, want to put some nails on since my own nails are less than perfect. I was thinking about having some short french manicure nails put on...but then I started to wonder if I should have a design put on them or maybe have some color...red is one of our wedding colors. But I never wear nail polish either and I didn't want that to distract me on our day.
I was wondering what all you ladies had planned...fake nails, a manicure and nail polish? short or long? design, color, french manicure? I'd love to hear!

The bane of my existence: my bouquet. It's not right yet, it's not what I wanted and I have so far to go with it and so little time!

Re: Nails
If you've never had fake nails before and you don't plan to keep them up I wouldn't recommend doing them just for the wedding. They can be really hard on your nails - I used to have them and when I stopped getting them done and let them go natural it took about 6 months for my nails to look normal again. But since you said short is sounds like you just plan to have a french manicure done which I think is so pretty.

I'll probably get a basic manicure with a light peachy/pink polish b/c that's what looks best with my skin tone. I think I will do natural and keep them trimmed shortish before the big day to hopefully prevent breakage.

I think that is what I will be doing, using one of my wedding colors on my nails. Although, one of the best nail jobs I've ever had was when I painted each nail tip a different shade of blue, repeating the pattern on my other hand and feet and then adding small white polka dots over the color. It is unique and fun, and I think I may do that. The trick for me right now is to keep my nails from breaking, I hate fake nails.
I know what you mean about it being distracting if you dont usually have your nails painted. I'm the same way. I like to stick with manicured hands with the clear polish they use for French Manicures...The one that has the pink hue though. It's pretty but not too much. I quit getting real French Manicures when I couldn't keep the white polish from chipping.
As far as a design, I'd say go for it!! Its your wedding
::My mom NEVER has gotten fake nails, and she said that she is thinking about it for my wedding, and that she thinks that she will only do it 2 times in her ENTIRE life!! I was like, so You'll get them done for my wedding, and my brothers... Her answer yes!! LOL:: (Sorry just a cute story)
