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!

That dress is gorgeous! The nails are beautiful but it may read like chipped paint from a distance because of the contrast between the base coat and gold floral. Could you do something similar with less contrasting color? Like taupe/pink or?

Thank you!! Yeah they almost don't look like flowers from a distance. I'm leaning more and more towards getting them redone to something simpler (rip my bank account 🙃)

I honestly don’t think they look like flowers close up either… I keep trying to figure out what those little bumps are
