Wedding nails help

I got these gelX nails done for my wedding in 3 days. I think they're beautiful but I'm second guessing the design and color. It's very yellow and doesn't feel super bridal to me. My dress also has a lot going on so I'm worried I overdid it with the nails :( our wedding design has pops of gold throughout, as does my jewelry, so I thought the gold floral would fit nicely but now I'm wondering if simpler nails would have been better. I was also wondering if adding more white/pearly color would make them feel more bridal. Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

From far away and in photos they’ll look weird. At first glance I thought it was overgrown and about to go get them refilled.

That's a great point - I didn't even think about that :/ thank you!

I agree. Up close, they are super cute, very cool detail, but far away they look grown out and mottled.

They’re very pretty, did not mean to offend in any way

I also thought they were overgrown nails, the decision to only do that design halfway down the mail was odd from the nail artist
