There are pros and cons to any nail shape, especially for an event that will be heavily photographed, such as your wedding day likely will be. Because of that, you want a manicure that's going to look timeless but isn't distracting from the rest of your look. Sophie Harris-Greensdale tells Harper's Bazaar, "Aim for medium-length almond-shaped nails, which look elegant and elongate the fingers."
When you go to your nail artist for your bridal manicure, make sure to bring in plenty of pictures of what you want your manicure to look like so your stylist knows exactly what you want. If you don't want to go into the salon, you can also give yourself the perfect at-home manicure in the days leading up to your wedding day. If you choose to file your almond-shaped bridal nails, make sure not to file them down too much at the edges. It could make the nail weaker and more prone to chipping (via Women's Health).
