Bridal Spray Tan Tips: How L.A. Brides Get That Wedding-Day Glow
If you're getting married soon, first of all — congrats!
Whether your wedding is in Beverly Hills, Downtown L.A., the coast, or anywhere in between, one thing is always true: you want to feel your absolute best. A custom spray tan can be the perfect finishing touch to your wedding look — just enough glow to make your skin look radiant, but still totally you.
Even though my studio is based in Downtown L.A., I work with brides from all over the city — Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Pasadena — who make the short trip for a custom bridal tan. If you're thinking about getting a spray tan for your wedding, here are a few tips to help you get the perfect glow:
1. Do a Trial Tan First
If you can, schedule a trial tan 2–3 weeks before your wedding. It gives us a chance to customize your shade exactly the way you want it, with enough time for the trial tan to wear off. You'll feel even more confident knowing exactly what to expect.
2. Time Your Final Tan Based on Your Trial
After your trial, check your tan the next day with your dress (or something of similar color) held up to your skin in natural light. If you love the tone after one day, book your final tan one day before the wedding. If it looks best on day two, book it two days before. This gives you the most confident, personalized result.
3. Proper Prep (and Aftercare) Are Key
A great spray tan starts with good prep. Make sure to exfoliate well before your appointment, skip heavy lotions and oils the day of, and come in wearing loose, dark clothing. After your tan, staying moisturized will help your glow last through the big day — and beyond. Read the full prep details here.
4. Choose a Custom Airbrush Tan Over a Booth
Your wedding photos are forever. A custom airbrush tan means your color is tailored to your skin tone, your dress, and even the lighting for your event. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference.
