There’s a lot to think about when it comes to your wedding and your tan shouldn’t be one of the stressful parts.

The goal?
Skin that looks like you, just elevated. Smooth, even, glowing… and predictable.

Because the last thing you want is guessing what your tan will look like on the day.

So here’s exactly how we recommend planning it.

First things first: lock in your wedding day tan

Before anything else - BOOK IN YOUR TAN!

Bridal bookings fill fast (especially in peak season), and this is one thing you don’t want to leave to chance.

Your wedding tan should be booked for:
→ 2 days before your wedding

This timing allows:
– the colour to fully develop
– your skin to settle
– everything to look seamless and natural on the day

Not too fresh, not too faded, just right.

Now, let’s talk trial tans (this is the important part)

If you take one thing from this blog, let it be this:

Your trial tan is not optional.

This is where we customise everything to you - your skin, your tone, your preferences.

So… when should you get your trial tan?

The sweet spot is:

→ 2–4 weeks before your wedding

But more importantly - time it around something that matters.

Your trial should line up with:
– your makeup trial
– your dress fitting
– your hens or bridal events
– any moment where you want to see the full look together

Because this isn’t just about the tan itself 
it’s about how everything works together.

What your trial actually does

Your trial isn’t just a “test run” - it’s where we refine everything.

We look at:
– depth of colour
– undertone (warm, neutral, pink, olive)
– how your skin holds and fades the tan
– how it sits with your makeup + dress

So by the time your wedding day comes around…
there’s zero guessing.

Prepping your skin (this part matters more than you think)

Even the best tan can only work with the skin it’s given.

So prep properly - this is what makes the difference between a good tan and an insane one.

Here’s what we recommend:

– No spray tans for at least 2–3 weeks before your trial/wedding tan
– Exfoliate + shave 24 hours before
– Keep skin hydrated in the lead-up
– Avoid heavy products, oils or deodorant on the day

Simple but it changes everything.

The result? Effortless, bridal skin

When everything is planned properly, your tan should feel easy.

No stress. No surprises.

Just:
– smooth, even colour
– a natural glow that photographs beautifully
– skin that looks like you (just better)

Your bridal glow starts here

If you’re planning your wedding - now’s the time to lock it in.

Book your wedding tan, plan your trial, and let us handle the rest.
