As a final touch, it's nice to have a professional manicure and/or pedicure the day of your wedding. If you have weak, broken nails, bite your nails, or have another condition where your nails aren't in tip-top shape; You may want to consider an alternative.

Many Nail Salons can offer a variety of options to those who don't have the best nails. A common alternative to a manicure is having acrylics put on. With Acrylics, a small piece of plastic-like material that is clear is placed on top of your real nail. It is held on with a piece of glue and then 'painted' over with an acrylic mixture. A great option with Acrylic is the 'Pink & White". This is almost the same process, but instead of using all white acrylic they use a pink on the bed of the nail & then a white acrylic on the tip. The result is a French manicure that won't chip and will last until your next fill. Two other popular types of nails are gel and silk. Silk is usually the most expensive, but the least destructive to the real nail underneath.

Don't forget to bring the appropriate color nail polish with you for your appointment. You can either go to the salon or have the manicurist meet you at your home or dressing site. Consider having him/her give your mother, your fiancé's mother and your bridesmaids a manicure in the same color for a consistent look.

Try to negotiate getting a manicure or pedicure free of charge or at a discount in exchange for bringing your mother, your fiance's mother and your wedding party to the salon.
