Best Bridal Nail Polish Colors for Fall Weddings

I'm biased, but fall is the best season for weddings. The leaves are a riot of color and the weather is not too hot and not too cold, so you're not freezing or wishing you could acceptably get married in your bathing suit. The mild weather means menu planning is easier since you don't need to sweat over if you'll sweat while eating a hot meal like you do in summer. Plus farm-fresh, local produce is still easy to come by unlike in winter or spring. I'm excited you're getting married during the hands down best season because now I get to talk all about it.

Fall itself has three distinct seasons: September is late summer, October is fall in all its glory, and November is late harvest and early winter.

For September weddings, you can take advantage of warmer temperatures, late summer flowers, and long days. September wedding colors are cheery and warmer. Think wheat fields, chrysanthemums, and grey dawns.

The backdrop to October weddings is the gorgeous changing foliage. October wedding colors are very harvest-themed. Think dried sunflowers, pumpkins, and maple leaves. And of course, there's always the fun color palettes possible for Halloween/Samhain weddings.

November weddings are rich and jewel-toned to contrast leafless trees and cooling temperatures. Think warm family gatherings, cool sunsets, and vintage bronze.

Shopping for your wedding nail polish colors is one of the few truly stress-free shopping opportunities of your wedding planning. Polishes are cheap enough that you can pick up a few without breaking the bank and you can try them on at home however many times you want. Try doing that with wedding gowns and suits.

A good, lasting manicure needs extra protection. See my articles on the best top coats for long lasting nail polish and the best base coats for a strong foundation.
