Wedding Guest and Bridesmaid Nails: Pretty Without Upstaging the Bride

As a wedding guest or bridesmaid, your nails should look good in photos without outshining the bride. Here are colours, shapes and timing for each role.

Guest vs bridesmaid

• Guests: nude, dusty rose, wine red or sheer jelly; short to medium length. Leave milky white, pearl and white glitter to the bride.
• Bridesmaids: match the dress colour or a shared nude, same shape and length across the group.

By outfit

• Pastel dresses: matching jelly, or pink nude with fine shimmer.
• Black or navy: wine red, chocolate, or smoky cat-eye.
• Áo dài: red, brick or warm nude.
• Bold prints: plain nude.

Coordinating a bridesmaid group

Use the same base with a different accent nail each, one colour family in different shades, or a simple shared design such as a fine French. Call a few days ahead if the whole group wants to come together, as VESSCA serves a limited number of guests at a time.

Timing and cost

Have your nails done 1–3 days before the wedding. Services carry a 5-day warranty. With cuticle care: jelly gel about 210,000₫, cat-eye or shimmer about 230,000₫, premium Korean gel about 280,000–340,000₫.
