Your Glow, Perfected for Your Special Day
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! A flawless spray tan can enhance your natural beauty and complement your dress for your big day. Below, we’ve outlined everything you need to know about bridal tanning, from booking your session to caring for your glow.
Why Bridal Tanning is Different
Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and a spray tan tailored to your skin tone ensures you look radiant in photos and in person. A bridal tan is about enhancing your natural beauty—not overpowering it. Our trained professionals specialize in creating a natural, streak-free glow that complements your wedding look without stealing the spotlight.
Avoid last-minute spray tan stress by planning your tanning timeline in advance. Unlike everyday tans, bridal tanning involves precision, timing, and preparation to ensure perfection.
Your Bridal Tanning Timeline
Book a Trial Tan
Schedule a trial tan at least one month before your wedding. This allows time to:
- Test different shades to find your perfect match.
- Observe how the tan develops, fades, and lasts (especially for your honeymoon).
- Ensure any previous tan has faded before your wedding session.
Final Spray Tan Appointment
Plan your final tan 2-3 days before your wedding to allow the color to fully develop and settle. Avoid scheduling your tan on the day of dress fittings to prevent bronzer transfer onto your gown.
Preparing for Your Bridal Spray Tan
Proper preparation is essential to achieving a flawless tan. Follow these steps to ensure your skin is ready for the big day:
Skin Preparation
- Exfoliate thoroughly 1-2 days before your appointment using exfoliating gloves. Avoid oil-based scrubs, which can leave a barrier on your skin.
- Shave or wax at least 24-48 hours in advance to allow your skin time to recover.
- Remove any previous self-tanner or spray tan completely.
What to Avoid
- Do not use oils, lotions, perfumes, or deodorant on the day of your appointment, as these can prevent even absorption of the tanning solution.
- Avoid showering right before your appointment; shower at least 4 hours in advance with lukewarm water and no soap or body wash.
Clothing Tips
- Wear loose, dark clothing to your session to avoid smudging your fresh tan.
- Consider tanning topless or nude to avoid tan lines, especially if your dress is strapless or backless.
Post-Tan Care for Brides
Caring for your tan after your appointment is just as important as preparing for it. Proper care ensures your glow lasts through your wedding day and honeymoon.
Immediately After Tanning
- Wait 2-4 hours before rinsing with lukewarm water only (no soap). Follow your technician’s specific instructions for the best results.
- Avoid tight clothing, sweating, or getting wet during the development period.
24 Hours After Tanning
- Avoid foods and drinks that may stain your teeth or lips during the development period (e.g., coffee, wine).
- Moisturize with tan-safe products daily to prolong your tan’s life.
Special Considerations
- Avoid massages, spa treatments, or long swims, as these can cause the tan to fade unevenly.
- Protect your tan from chlorine and saltwater by rinsing off immediately after swimming.
Pre-Wedding Activities to Consider
If your wedding weekend includes pre-wedding festivities, consult with your technician about the compatibility of these activities with your tan:
- Spa treatments (like massages or facials) can disrupt the tan.
- Beach or pool activities may cause uneven fading.
- Hot climates can make it challenging to keep your tan intact due to sweating.
Bridal Tanning Tips and Tricks
Here are a few extra tips to make the most of your bridal tan:
- If you’re unsure how dark to go, try a darker shade during your trial. It’s easier to go lighter for the wedding tan if needed.
- Drink through a straw while the tan develops to avoid liquids touching your lips or face.
- Schedule manicures and pedicures before your spray tan to avoid lotions or oils interfering with the application.
