Summer Brides...tan lines??

Jordan, on June 6, 2019 at 9:50 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

I'm getting married 09/28/19 which will technically be the first official weekend of fall. My stress is strapless and I am concerned about having weird tan lines in my photos from summer. Any advice on how to keep an even tan or how to even it out before the wedding?

    I would just try to wear a strapless bathing suit as much as possible to limit the amount of tan lines then I would get a spray tan to even everything out before.

    My wedding is in October, but I tan SUPER easily and quickly and my skin stays tan forever. I ordered a strapless bathing suit top specifically for this reason, and I am avoiding being out in the sun for long in tank tops as much as possible.

    I bought a strapless bathing suit to prevent tan lines. Granted this doesn't help for days you're out and about with a tank top on. Maybe you can do a light spray tan before the wedding to cover up any lines.

    I don't have a strapless dress, but I do have to be careful of back tan lines. Unfortunately, I haven't found a bathing suit that won't give me visible tan lines, but my coworker told me when she went to the tanning bed before the wedding, it got rid of her tan lines. I want to avoid a spray tan because it never fails that I get it all over my clothes.

    Anyone else have experience with tanning beds and tan lines??

    Date twin! I really haven't given tans a thought! I don't spend a lot of time in the sun but tan lines could be an issue with my bachelorette being in Palm Springs. I was planning on using the lotion that gives you a gradual tan, it might be Jergens. If anything your makeup artist might be able to airbrush any lines.

    Wear only strapless bathing suit and lots and lots of sunblock. If possible use a long sleep shirt the ones that even have spf included to protect you all alone. Don’t forget your face as well.

    I'd recommend lots and lots of sunscreen throughout the summer, and a spray tan or build-up tanning lotion to even any lines out.

    What does the back of your dress look like?

    I'm planning on untying my bathing suits when I lay out this summer since my dress has an open back. Fortunately, those are the only tan lines that would show with my dress! I've also thought about getting a spray tan (from someone, not a machine) if I needed to even out that one area.

    My date is the week before you and as I live less than a mile from the ocean, this is a huge concern of mine too. My dress isn’t strapless but the straps would be thinner than my bathing suit ones. If I lay out I plan on slipping my arms out of the straps, but I’m most concerned about the back line. I’m going to test spray tanning the month before and see how the results are

    My dress if off the shoulder and I found an off the shoulder bathing suit. Although I spent a few hrs at the pool before it came in so now I have lines on my back that I hope tan eventually.
