There is so much preparation involved for the big day, from finding the perfect dress and venue to making sure you look best on your D-day. And for the ultimate bridal glow, there is nothing better than getting a spray tan before your wedding. With beautiful hair and makeup, having an airbrush tanning can make you look even more amazing.

However, many get anxious to do this right before the big day. Be it fear of turning orange (won't happen) or having the color get off their dress (won't happen either). As a result, brides opt for natural skin tone for weddings even if they feel confident enough to rock a little tan color.

Every woman's dream is to have an adorable bronze glow for their wedding day. Before you get a wedding spray tan for your big day, read these tips that make you look even more stunning.

Find the right tan artist

When you are preparing for your bridal tan, the first tip is to ensure that you find the right tanning salons. Every spray tan is not the same, so it's essential to get an artist who can customize your color to your unique skin tone. It's about your wedding, so paying more for a quality experience and results is worth it. You can also get some tanning tips for an extra pale tone.

Moreover, to find the perfect color, a skilled tan artist can contour your body in all the right places to give you a healthy, toned look. Strapless wedding gown? Highlight your collarbones and shoulders for a beautifully defined look. Backless gown? Accentuate your back for an adorable look. All this is possible if you choose the right tan artist to work with.

Get a trial tan before the real deal

So, now you have found a true tan artist, and it's time to do a trial run. Brides usually do hair and makeup trials before the wedding day, so it's essential to have a tan trial that guarantees you get the color just right.

During this trial, you can customize to get the perfect color and ask questions before your wedding. The preparation will help you feel confident because we all know that you will have enough jitters anyway, though!

Are you wondering when you should get your trial tan done? It depends on your schedule and preference. You could get it in advance as a month or as close as two weeks to the wedding date.

Prep up yourself

The preparation for your wedding tan starts before you even step foot into the tanning salon. These tips will ensure that your glow lasts for long, even after the vows are exchanged and you ride off into the sunset.

  • Don't wear any lotions or makeup on when you visit the salon.
  • Get your nails, waxing, hair washing, or any other pre-wedding appointment done at least a day before your airbrush tanning, so your skin feels nice and clean.
  • Wear dark and loose-fitting clothes after your appointment so you can avoid any rubbing or weird tanning lines.
  • Exfoliate your body as it helps sluff off your dead skin for a blank canvas. Use an oil-free exfoliator that is oil-free and made from organic ingredients. You can also opt for a wedding spray tan.

Head in 2-3 days before the wedding

Airbrush tanning always looks best at least a day or two after your appointment. So make sure you have a gap between your appointment and the big day. We recommend that you get your wedding tan about two days in advance. It gives you time to even out your tan. And if it doesn't turn out exactly how you imagine, you can use some exfoliation techniques that even out your tan for a perfect bronzed glow.

Take care of your tan

Now, you are done with your airbrush tan for the wedding. So it's important to take care of it so that it fades evenly and looks beautiful for up to two weeks after your appointment. Also, it can be perfect if you are jetting off on your honeymoon right after the wedding.

  • Avoid all moisture, including workout, sweating, and showering for at least 4-5 hours after your spray tan. Even if you are still working #wedding bod, take a break from the gym as your tan develops.
  • Keep your hands off of your skin, touching as much as possible. You don't want to mess up with your UV spray tan before the wedding!

Wrapping up:

Every bride's thoughts are different and unique. But if getting airbrush tanning makes you feel confident and stunning on your big day, go for it! Just keep these tips in mind, so you know who will do your tan, what color it should be ahead of time and how to prepare your skin before and after, and how to take care of it.
