The brand's experts recommend that you experiment with nail color at least one month before your wedding, especially if you're going a little outside of the bridal box! And don't be afraid to layer complementary shades. Just like you and your new hubbie, sometimes two are better than one.

Also, start to indulge in weekly manicures and pedicures beginning at least two months prior, the pros suggest. The extra pampering will get your hands and nail beds super healthy and ready for those photo closeups! Plus, it's great wedding-planning stress relief!

The collection is available this month in salons and at Essie.com; $8 each.
