12 Best Wedding Guest Nails For Every Theme In 2024

June is known to be a popular month for weddings because it's named after “Juno”, the Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth. We bet you’re here because you’ve been invited to multiple weddings this year! As wedding guests, the least we can do is follow the wedding theme. Show your support for the newlyweds by bringing out your best look (without outshining the bride, of course!). Whether the theme is minimalist or rustic, we have all the inspos laid out for you. Don’t get stuck in the nail department and let the best wedding guest nail designs help you with every theme!

When the invitation says “traditional”, typically it means a classic wedding theme. This wedding theme focuses primarily on formality and elegance. iGel Beauty kelceedoesnails followed the glazed nail trend with our fair-medium nude powder, Dip & Dap Powder - DD170 Nude Bar, and it created the most timeless wedding nails ever.

 

 

2. Tropical
