We’ve mentioned gifts for your bridal party that will make your photos better before and we’re here to tell you more about our new favorite addition to that list—ManiMe press-on nails. 

Ensuring your wedding party has salon-perfect nails for your wedding is a small touch that many couples don’t take advantage of. Getting manicures done before the wedding used to be a hassle but now you can do it at home with your wedding party, whenever you want with the help of our friends at ManiMe. The best part? You can do these high tech manicures in five minutes or less.

Who Is ManiMe?

Co-founder and CEO Jooyeon Song was tired of watching her nails be damaged by tools and drills while sitting in a salon chair for two hours in a chemical-filled room. She thought stick-on nails might be a good solution but quickly realized that they weren’t a seamless fit for her nail size. She mentioned these troubles to her Stanford Business School classmate, David Miro Lopis, who was excited and wanted to find a solution.

With that excitement, ManiMe was born. Today, Jooyeon, David, and the whole ManiMe team are on a mission to make manicures that are accessible, healthy, and as easy-to-change as your shoes. The gels last up to ten days and use proprietary 100% Korean gel that is 10-free, leaping bunny certified, and can be applied or removed without UV lights or harsh chemicals.

How Does ManiMe Work?

ManiMe’s stick-on gel nails are impossibly easy to use. To get started, just snap a few images of your hands while holding a credit card (for size reference). Then choose your designs and check out. In four to seven business days they’ll ship gorgeous custom fit manicures straight to your door. 

Application is also seriously easy and takes less than five minutes. All you have to do is clean your nails, apply the custom-fit gels, press and smooth them onto your nail, clip or file off the excess, and then seal it with a top coat. Presto! You and your wedding party have salon-perfect manicures for your wedding day.

Keep in mind that you’ll get free shipping on kits over $30, so be sure to take advantage of that.

All you need to send these gifts are your recipients’ email addresses. That’s right, you can send these to as many recipients as you want without needing promo codes, and you’ll save up to 30%. 

With ManiMe’s group gift option, the more gifts you give the more you’ll save. So go big and consider including your future in-laws in on the fun.

Gather your group together and have everybody do their nails together! This fun and easy step can happen in the week leading up to the wedding since these press-on gel nails last up to ten days.

All you have to do is clean your nails, apply the custom-fit gels, press and smooth them onto your nail, clip or file off the excess, and then seal it with a top coat.

Artistic and Intimate Tuscany Elopement

August 30, 2021 | Junebug Weddings

This intimate Tuscany elopement looks like it came straight out of a Nicholas Sparks movie— two people reading their vows with the fields as the witness to the love in their hearts. Chiara and Nicola wanted their day to be just about sharing their love with one another, and they did that beautifully. 

Before sunrise, Chiara and Nicola walked around the city of Florence to take in all the sights before heading back to Val D’Orcia to get ready together. Once the sun had risen, they headed to the Tuscan countryside where they exchanged their handwritten vows in a field surrounded by rolling hills. After a teary-eyed ceremony, they continued to explore until the moon rose, taking in their first moments as newlyweds. 

Scroll down to see more of this lowkey and intimate Tuscany elopement, as captured by Junebug member The Ferros. 

The Couple:

Chiara and Nicola

The Wedding:

Val D’Orcia, Tuscany, Italy

Wedding Planning Advice

We didn’t plan that much and we are so happy we didn’t because everything came naturally. All we did was make sure to choose the right season when Tuscany is slightly calmer and less touristy. Val D’Orcia is certainly among our favorite places. We stayed in an old villa in the countryside to enjoy as much nature as we could.

A Teary and Intimate Tuscany Elopement

Reading our vows to each other was more emotional than I thought—I was surprised by my own reactions. I was in tears after two seconds of Nicola reading his vows to me. It is definitely part of the day that I’ll never forget and will cherish forever.

Recommended reading: Whether you’re just reading your vows, or handwriting them, your wedding vow book should be just as special as the words that are in them. 

What It’s Like Working With The Ferros

Working with The Ferros was actually the easiest and most fun part of the day. Nico and Vinx are amazing people and great professionals indeed!

A Beautiful Tuscan Sunset

One of the most memorable moments of our elopement was the quiet walk we had at the very end of the night—it was truly special. We were alone in the middle of nowhere as the sun said goodbye, which gave us the most magical sunset we’ve ever seen.

Elegantly Earth-Toned Gabbinbar Wedding

August 29, 2021 | kailey

Neutral doesn’t mean boring. In fact, selecting a neutral color palette allows for other elements to shine through on your wedding day—much like this elegant Australian celebration. Jess and Dan dreamed of creating a whimsical, earth-toned wedding day that radiated love and prioritized little moments. With the help of Junebug member Gabbinbar Homestead that’s exactly what they got. 

Gabbinbar Homestead is a historic, Australian venue that radiates elegance. Complete with enchanted gardens, fountains, and draped fairy lights, it’s the perfect spot for unique weddings of any size and theme. To preserve the venue’s beautiful existing features, Daisy and Co Flowers used earth-toned florals to frame the ceremony backdrop and better personalize the space.  

Every jaw-dropping element—from floral arrangements to the venue—shines through in these images captured by wedding photographer Bulb Creative. Whether you’re in search of neutral wedding inspiration or unique ways to infuse your day with personalized touches, this elegant nuptial is sure to kickstart your creative wedding planning process. 

More From The Venue On This Gabbinbar Wedding 

We host over two hundred stunning weddings every year at our exclusive heritage-listed homestead estate. With all the beautiful couples we’ve welcomed through our doors, we’re continually being captivated by the unique stories each brings. Dan and Jess were no exception. It was the perfect fusion of understated elegance and pure wow. Heartfelt speeches, warm candlelight, and effortlessly styled florals were the highlights of the reception which was followed by dancing with guests beneath the chandeliers in the ballroom. 

The Couple:

Jess and Dan

The Wedding:

Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia

 

Vendors Are A Top Priority

As a wedding photographer and videographer myself, my top priority was selecting our dream photographer and videographer. Even before I got engaged, I had my heart set on Bulb Creative and Sam Fregonese to capture our day! Not only are they extremely talented, but they are also the sweetest humans who made our day so fun. I made sure they were both available before booking our date and venue. We were so blessed to have them as part of our day.

The Ceremony Being The Most Most Memorable 

The ceremony was the most memorable part of the day for us. Getting to worship God together and sharing our personal vows to one another was a dream. All whilst being surrounded by the people we love most in the world—the sweetest and most treasured moment. For us, it felt like a glimpse into heaven.

 

Wedding Planning Is Easy When You Marry Your Best Friend 

My main piece of wedding planning advice would be to focus on what really matters: marrying your best friend. It’s definitely fun to pick out and plan all the details, but when you think back to your wedding day, it’s the little moments that you’ll remember. The look on your dad’s face when he sees you in your wedding dress, the happy tears you get as you read a sweet note from your partner, the excitement as you begin to walk down the aisle. It’s truly these sweet moments that’ll mean the most. Try not to stress too much about the other things. 

The Venue Was Love At First Sight

Over the years that I’ve been in the wedding industry, I’ve visited many beautiful venues. But I completely fell in love with  Gabbinbar Homestead the very first time I visited around four years ago. From that moment, I dreamed of getting married there one day! There’s so much natural beauty and the Homestead is breathtaking, especially the reception conservatory with the glass ceiling. Above all else, the staff are the best in the business. They’re so friendly, accommodating, and diligent. We couldn’t be more grateful for everything that they did for us in making our wedding day the best day of our lives.

Make Your Ceremony Your Own 

It was very important to Dan and me that our ceremony was Christ-centred and reflected our faith. We opened the ceremony with worship which was such a joyful and powerful moment. We were so blessed to have both our pastors conduct our ceremony. I also loved that Dan and I were able to share communion together right after the ceremony.
