A slightly bolder alternative to short nails is longer nails filed in square shape. Then doing the French manicure will add a unique touch to your nails. The shape, of course sets it apart from others in a subtle and sober way. But with French manicures, always remember to biff well and apply a good glossy top coat.

It is a very flattering color and suits the occasion very well. Paint little flowers on single nails in each hand, to further add an aesthetic element.
Floral Paint and Swaroski Manicure
Talking about painting flowers on only single nail, painted flowers on all nails is a raging trend right now. You can also combine the above idea with this one; your love for French manicure and black and white painted flowers. Acrylic and gel nails give ample surface for making statement white tips. Paint black flowers on top. Don’t fill them, just outlines of flowers for a delicate look. Apply a glossy top coat afterwards.

If pointed tips and colors is not your thing, stick to the classic black and white. Shape the acrylic or gel nails in a square shape. Get inspired from intricate lines, maybe ever the lace of your dress. Fine lines always tend to look even more intricate when done in black. With a clear coat below, paint the black design.

Alternately, you can also go those with grey-pink sheen. The choice of color would really depend on your skin color. Do try on one nail, at the store before making your purchase and committing to the color for your wedding day. Needless to say, ensure clean nails, as light colors are more translucent than opaque.
Caviar Manicure
Now this one looks very luxurious, just what you might be looking for. When you extend your nails and paint them in a very natural color and paint white flowers on top, the effect is very lace-like. Paint intricate flowers, use pastels like lime yellow and powder blue very sparingly. Fill gaps with small caviar pearls. They add a very unique texture to your painted nails.

To use just a few caviar pearls, you could play up on the color. Do a French manicure first. Paint detailed flowers in mauve and use a darker purple to contour. Do this only for a few nails, say two in every hand. Add only two-three caviar pearls to each nail to highlight the design.
