A trial first, then two days before
Wedding tan plans
A trial four weeks before, the real one two days before, and a shade chosen against your dress in the daylight. For the bride, the party and anyone else.
Nobody should be trying a shade for the first time two days before their wedding. So the plan starts with a trial.
We do a trial about four weeks before, in the shade we think is right. You wear it to work and take a photo in daylight. If it is wrong, we change it. Bring a swatch of your dress, or a photograph. Bright ivory often wants a lighter tan than you imagine.
The real one comes one or two days before the wedding, after you have had your wax and your manicure, but before you have your hair and make-up. We usually do it two days before, because that gives you a day to settle.
For a honeymoon in the sun, remember that a spray tan gives no sun protection, and the sun will speed up the fading. Take sunscreen. Do not use a sunbed to get ready for a holiday; it does not protect you, and it is not a good bargain for your skin.

Questions about wedding plans
Will it come off on my dress?
Not after the first shower. That is why we do it two days before, not the night before.
Can you come to the venue?
Yes, at the party rate plus mileage. Book as soon as you have the date.
Not sure which? Four questions, ten seconds.
The skin check tells you honestly whether a sunbed is right for your skin. A spray always is, and it has no UV in it at all.
