Spray Tan for wedding

I think pale skin is beautiful and photographs really well, so personally I'd avoid it. The only time I'd consider it is if I had some gnarly tan lines.

Spray tans can photograph orange. Get a good one if you do it.

I am totally doing an organic air brush tan in Maui for my DW. Make sure you test it out first so you can see different shades on your skin tone.

I actually just used a week or 2 of Jergens gradual tan daily lotion creams for my engagement shoot and I think my tan came out really well in the pictures. In face I wish it was a little darker because I can still see a bruise on my leg...

I love spray tans! Have you gotten one before? I would caution you against getting a first one for your wedding because there's a lot that can go wrong. I had planned to get one for our wedding but I was also tanning (in a bed) and decided the week of I felt good with my color and didn't need the spray tan. I wore bandeau bathing suit top whenever I tanned outside.

If you don't regularly get spray tans or haven't gotten one before, your wedding is not the time to try it. Like hair and makeup, do a trial with enough time to make an informed decision.

Ive thought about it and yes! I'm so afraid of tan lines. I'm going to live inside! Haha

I've never thought about that before. But then again I hate getting in the sun and tanning in any way. I have very light skin.

My wedding is in October. I've gone outside twice for running and already have faint tan lines. We also have a beach wedding in June. I'm trying to figure out a solution, too. I've never spray tanned but have always been terrified - I blame Ross' bad experience from Friends!

Definitely get a feel for spray tanning before your wedding. Just to be safe!

Wear a strapless top bathing suit outside even if your dress has straps so you don't have conflicting strap lines

I'm planning on going tanning for a couple of weeks before the wedding...no tan lines to worry about!

I wouldn't get a spray tan before the wedding. It doesn't spray evenly over the whole body (i.e.: hands, fingers, knuckles). I would also be scared that the spray would smudge on my dress.

I personally get sweaty regardless of how soon in advance I do them and they get streaky or wear off my armpits and everything ends up different colors. I also hate the way people's hands and feet look with spray tans.... I personally will be using a tanning bed

I'm not a huge fan of being tan. I really prefer being pale. As pale as possible. My gothness works well with it.

Well ladies - thanks for all of the great feedback! I was planning on doing a trial, but you've scared me off of the idea. I think some strapless tops and a tanning bed will have to be my solution!

There was no way I was taking a chance on a spray tan. I've been tanning!

I don't think spray tanning is an issue at all. Just like makeup though do a trail first to make sure the salon you use doesn't spray orange. Honestly I prefer spray tan to fake baking plus it's much safer.

I did neither spray tan or tanning bed. I really don't like spray tans and I don't really want to increase my chance of cancer.

I loooove spray tans. I burn sitting under an umbrella at the beach. So when summer comes around, I self tan or spray tan. I feel so much better with one!!

I will be using a tanning bed for a few weeks before because we are going to Mexico for our honeymoon and spray tan doesn't give you a base to prevent severe burns. I'm very fair skinned, so I need something before our trip.
