Your bridal beauty is a hands-on affair. After that diamond goes onto your finger, everyone from your coworkers to Aunt Sally are going to want an up-close view of your digits. Naturally, you'll want to make sure you have a perfect manicure to match your perfect day. How do you choose the ideal polish color?

The pressure is on: There are as many hues to choose from as there are bridal gowns and wedding invitations. But don't get overwhelmed. This part is supposed to be fun!

One clever way to pick a color is to match your nails to your bridal bouquet. After all, you'll be clutching your flowers from the time you walk down the aisle to the moment you walk into the reception as a married woman. Here are 11 fresh shades that will match whatever bundle of floral goodies you're carrying, whether it's a petite arrangement of lily of the valley, a vibrant tangle of wildflowers, or an overflowing cascade of deep red roses.
