Knowing the right wedding spray tan timing ensures your tan looks even, natural, and fully developed on your wedding day.

THE BRIDE GUIDE
Your Wedding Spray Tan Bible
Your wedding spray tan should look effortless, natural, and perfected. This guide covers everything you need to know so your tan looks exactly how you want it to on the day.
Bride trial tan
A trial #tan is strongly recommended for #brides. Every spray tan I do is fully custom mixed to your skin tone, undertone, and desired depth. A trial allows us to confirm the perfect colour and finish well before the #wedding.
Book your trial 2 to 4 weeks prior to your wedding date. This gives us time to adjust anything if needed and ensures there are no surprises.
wedding spray tan timing
The best time to book your wedding spray tan is 1 to 3 days before your wedding.
Two days prior is ideal. At 48 hours post application, your spray tan reaches its most developed, even colour and photographs beautifully.
bridal party spray tans
Yes, #bridal party spray tans are available and are one of my most popular services.
Your group can relax together in my spacious studio while I apply each tan individually and custom mix every colour. This ensures everyone looks cohesive but still tailored to their own skin tone. Bubbly is included, with optional grazing available.
preparation tips
Gently exfoliate your skin 24 to 48 hours before your appointment to create a smooth, even base.
Hair RemovalWaxing or shaving should be completed at least 24 hours before your spray tan.
Avoid MoisturisersDo not apply lotions, moisturisers, makeup, or deodorant on the day of your appointment.
SunburnAvoid sun exposure before your tan. Spray tan cannot be applied over sunburn and existing tan lines will show.
aftercare tips
Avoid Moisture. Do not get wet or sweat until your first rinse.
Gentle CleansingUse a mild, fragrance free body wash. Avoid exfoliating scrubs, loofahs, and flannels.
MoisturiseApply a fragrance free moisturiser daily to extend the life of your tan. A tan extending lotion can be introduced after day two.
Stay HydratedDrink plenty of water. Well hydrated skin holds colour longer.
