Wedding planning involves countless details, but one aspect that shouldn’t be overlooked is achieving that perfect bridal glow. At Tan In The City, we understand the importance of feeling your best on your special day. As we embrace another wedding season, we’re here to share expert advice and the latest trends in bridal tanning that promise to complement your radiance as you walk down the aisle.

Embracing Natural Beauty

This year, the trend is all about enhancing your natural beauty. The goal is to achieve a glow that’s not just about the tan but about highlighting your innate elegance. It’s the subtlety of the glow that matters, one that enhances rather than transforms. Remember, your wedding photos are timeless, and a natural, sun-kissed look will never go out of style.

Why a Trial Tan is Essential

A trial run for your wedding tan is more than just a precaution, it’s an essential part of your beauty prep. It allows you to see how the tan looks with your dress and in different lights, ensuring no surprises on the big day. Think of it as a dress rehearsal for your skin. Plus, it’s an excellent opportunity for you and your tanning specialist to decide on the perfect shade that complements your natural skin tone and your wedding aesthetic.

Timing Your Tan

The ideal time to get your tan is two days before your wedding. This timeframe allows your tan to settle and look its most natural, ensuring any bronzer has been washed off and the colour has fully developed. It also gives a cushion for any touch-ups or adjustments if necessary.

Skin Preparation and Aftercare

Preparing your skin for tanning is as crucial as the tanning process itself. Gentle exfoliation and moisturising for a few days before your tanning appointment can create the perfect canvas for a flawless application. After your tan, hydrating your skin is key to extending the life of your glow. Ask any of our team for tailored advice on prepping and maintaining your tan based on your skin type.

Group Tanning Sessions

Consider making your tanning session a bonding experience with your bridal party. It ensures everyone looks cohesive in photos and adds a memorable moment to your wedding journey. Plus, experiencing it together can ease any pre-wedding jitters and make the process more enjoyable.

Remember

Your wedding day is a celebration of love, and feeling confident and beautiful is part of making it unforgettable. Whether you decide to enhance your glow with a professional tan or embrace your natural skin tone, the key is to feel comfortable and radiant. Remember, the best accessory on your wedding day is your happiness and confidence.

As you plan your beauty regimen for the big day, consider these insights not just as tips, but as part of the journey to feeling your best self.

Here’s to a day as radiant as your glow!
