This is the manicure the chicest brides will be rocking at their wedding this season
Pass us a prosecco because wedding season is officially upon us. Now you've found your fiancé, bridesmaids and your dream wedding dress, the finishing touch to any wedding ensemble is a chic manicure.
If you're subtle, you'll pick a pretty colour from our bridal nail colours guide, but if you want every inch of you to be extra (it is YOUR day after all), consider going for something a little more special in the form of a nail design.
Stuck for inspo? Fear not because the masters in all things bridal, Brides Magazine, have teamed up with one of our favourite nail salons to design the chicest manicure for brides-to-be.
Brides Magazine has collabed with DryBy to create eight bespoke designs for your big day, your ’moon, mums and even the maids; and every bride-to-be is desperate to get their hands on it (or, more accurately, it on their hands).
Want in? Of course you do! To celebrate the launch of the new collection, Brides is inviting you (yes, you!) to their bridal takeover event at Dryby on the 5th May. Secure your spot () and you’ll enjoy an exclusive discount for attending, plus receive a copy of Brides Magazine and the magazine's utterly brilliant Wedding Planner, and a glass of champagne on arrival. Every attendee will also be in with a chance of winning a free pedicure and manicure for their big day. The bridal manicure range will be available to book at the event and from the 5th of May onwards. Race you there!
