Your Comprehensive Guide to the Perfect Glow on Your Wedding Day! 💍✨
Bridal Spray Tan Timelines: When to Book & How to Plan
A bridal spray tan is more than just a beauty treatment—it’s a confidence booster that enhances your natural glow for one of the most photographed days of your life. To ensure a flawless tan, proper planning is key!
Schedule a Trial Tan
If you’ve never had a spray tan before, a trial session is a must! Here’s why:
- Determine if you like how a tan looks and feels on your skin.
- Find the perfect shade and solution for you.
- Utilize tanning for events leading up to your wedding:
- Engagement parties
- Engagement photos
- Bachelorette parties
- Rehearsal dinners
- Makeup Trial
Pro Tip: Have a conversation with your tanning artist to discuss your goals. Opt for a clear solution that won’t rub off on your wedding dress. We offer both rapid and overnight clear solutions to accommodate all schedules.
Timing is Everything ⌛
If you plan on tanning on Thursday for a Saturday wedding (recommended timing) you will want to consider the same timing for your trial. Example: If your trial was on a Tuesday you will want to evaluate the color on Thursday.
Considerations:
- Your post-tan schedule: whether we used a rapid or overnight formula, you’re going to need time to marinate.
- How long you’ll leave the tan on: Schedule events and errands so you can rinse on time.
Planning ahead prevents last-minute stress and ensures your tan looks flawless!
Other Beauty Services: Order Matters!
Your spray tan should be the last beauty treatment before your wedding. Schedule all nails, facials, lashes, and massages before your tan to prevent any oils, scrubs, or treatments from interfering with your glow.
Avoiding Tan Lines: Pre-Wedding Prep
Nothing ruins a bridal glow like unexpected tan lines! If you plan to hike, golf, or attend outdoor events before your wedding, take precautions:
- Wear sunscreen, a hat, and long sleeves.
- Opt for a strapless bikini at your bachelorette party.
- Consider your dress design – avoid tanning in a swimsuit that will create noticeable tan lines.
Correcting tan lines is difficult and costly, so prevention is key! You should be monitoring your tan lines starting a couple months before your wedding. A sun burn at your Bachelorette CAN and Most likely WILL ruin your wedding day tan.
Trial Tan: Finding Your Perfect Bridal Glow 🌟
During your trial tan, we’ll determine the best formula and rinse time and give you aftercare instructions to ensure a flawless result.
Pro Tip: Test Your Tan in Photos!
- Two days after your trial tan, put on a white outfit and take photos.
- Stand next to your fiancé—does your glow complement their natural tone?
- Pay attention to your hands; we can adjust your hand color during your trial if needed.
Schedule your spray tan before your makeup trial for a perfect match.
