Bridal Spray Tanning
A Perfect Glow for Your Wedding Day
A radiant, sun-kissed look with none of the risk of UV. Custom blended to your skin, timed around your day.
Quick Answer
Should I Get a Spray Tan for My Wedding?
Absolutely. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and a spray tan is a safe, effective way to achieve a natural-looking glow without the harmful effects of UV rays.
The Timing That Matters MostSchedule your bridal tan approximately 48 hours, or two days, before your wedding. If your wedding is on a Saturday, book your tan for Thursday. That gives the color time to fully develop and avoids any last-minute surprises.Benefits
Why Brides Choose a Spray Tan
The Question Every Bride Asks
Will It Stain My Dress?
No, it will not. Booking 48 hours before your wedding gives your tan time to fully develop and settle into the skin. Once developed, rinse off the initial layer of cosmetic bronzer in your first shower.
The developed tan does not come off easily and will last six to ten days or more, until your skin naturally exfoliates.
If your dress has a very tight fit or a built-in bra that rubs against the skin, there is a small chance of transfer. It is not common, and it comes out easily during dry cleaning.
Pro TipApply a light layer of powder to any areas that may rub or sweat heavily. It prevents friction transfer onto your dress.

Signature Rapid Tan
A custom-blended tan that gives you that kissed color at an accelerated rate, perfect for a wedding or any special occasion. Colors are always made to order, as no two people have the same needs.
Each tan is finished with a house-made bronzing powder that sets the color, prevents excess stickiness and leaves you with an extra glow while it processes.
How many days before my wedding should I book?
Approximately 48 hours, or two days, before your wedding day. If your wedding is on a Saturday, book your bridal tan for Thursday.
Will my spray tan stain my dress?
No. Booking 48 hours ahead lets the tan fully develop and settle into the skin, and you rinse the cosmetic bronzer off in your first shower. If your dress is very tight or has a built-in bra there is a small chance of transfer, which comes out easily in dry cleaning.
Will I look orange?
No. We use only high-quality sunless tanning solutions derived from natural and organic ingredients, and we do a detailed skin consultation first. You can even show us a photo of the tone you want and we will custom blend to match it.
How long will my tan last?
With proper preparation and aftercare, a bridal airbrush tan lasts five to seven days or more. The developed color holds until your skin naturally exfoliates, typically six to ten days or more.
How long is the appointment?
Your first appointment with us takes around 45 minutes, including a detailed skin consultation, spraying, drying and aftercare guidance. A follow-up wedding tan appointment takes 30 minutes.
Will a spray tan cover my tattoo?
Not completely. Your tattoo stays visible, though the color intensity may be slightly reduced by the bronzing effect.
Should I book a trial tan?
We strongly recommend it. A trial lets you see your custom color well ahead of the day and adjust if anything is not quite right.
When should I do my waxing and other beauty appointments?
All of them before your tan. Waxing, shaving, hair, nails and massages should be completed before your sunless tan appointment, not after.
