How many days before your wedding should you get a Spray tan?

Dreaming of a gorgeous bronzed look in your white wedding dress? You're not alone! 

At BlushTan San Diego, we're the go-to professionals for ensuring  your tan looks perfect for your big day. Whether you're aiming for a deep bronze or a light, sun-kissed glow, we've got you covered.

Choosing Your Tan’s Undertone and Formula

Before you book your bridal spray tan, we recommend reaching out to our salons at BlushTan San Diego. Mention that it's for your wedding, and they'll guide you to the best formula for your skin tone and desired look. We offer various options to match any bride's needs, ensuring your tan looks natural and lasts through your wedding day.

1. Pre-Wedding Consultation Service

Kick things off by booking a pre-wedding consultation with BlushTan San Diego at least two weeks before your wedding. If you can, try to align this appointment about two days before your makeup trial. This initial step helps determine the perfect tan shade and intensity for your wedding day look.

2. Determine Your Ideal Tan Day

After your consultation, you'll have a better idea of when your tan looks its best. For most brides, this sweet spot is around 2-3 days after the consultation. This timing ensures your tan has settled into the perfect shade.

3. Schedule Your Wedding Tan

Based on your consultation, book your wedding tan for 2-3 days before your wedding, aligning with when your tan looked its best during the consultation phase. Also, consider scheduling tanning appointments for your bridal party, family members, and any guests who want to be bronzed for the big day.

4. Wrap Up Beauty Services and Workouts

Make sure to complete all other beauty services and any intense workouts before your wedding tan appointment. This includes manicures/pedicures, facials, massages, waxing, and lash applications. 

Keeping these appointments before your tan ensures that your skin is ready and won't interfere with the tan's development.

5. Wedding Tan Service

On the day of your tan, come prepared by exfoliating your skin ahead of time and arriving with no products on your skin. This preparation ensures the tan application is even and adheres well to your skin. Now, you're all set to achieve that perfect BlushTan glow for your wedding.

By following this timeline, you'll be on track to looking sun-kissed as you walk down the aisle. Remember, the key to a perfect wedding tan is planning and preparation. Let the BlushTan professionals take care of the rest, ensuring you and your loved ones look and feel fabulous on your special day.

Wedding Day Tips

Keep your skin hydrated by drinking water and applying moisturizer. For any last-minute fixes or added shine, BlushTan San Diego has spray tan friendly products perfect for the occasion, ensuring your glow looks fabulous all day.

Will It Stain My Dress?

Your tan shouldn't transfer to your dress if you've allowed enough time for it to develop and have taken proper showers. 

For brides worried about color transfer, our clear tan solution is a great choice!
