💍 The Bride’s Glow Guide: How to Get a Flawless Spray Tan for Your Wedding Day..
Whether you're walking down the aisle in Santorini, a backyard in Madison, or a rooftop in Chicago, one thing is universal: you want to look like the absolute best version of yourself on your big day. Glowing, radiant, and naturally sun-kissed—but without the UV damage.
At AfterGlow Tan Co., we specialize in bridal airbrush tans that are custom-blended, camera-ready, and perfect for your "I Do" moment (and beyond). Here’s everything you need to know to glow confidently into forever.
✨ Why Brides Choose AfterGlow
Custom color matching based on your skin tone, dress color, and wedding vibe
Contour add-ons for definition in all the right places (hello, collarbones and bridal glow-up!)
Postpartum-safe options for new mamas who want to glow without worry
Trial tan sessions so there are no surprises on wedding week
Natural, never orange—we mean it. We even ban the word “orange” in our spray rooms.
📅 Ideal Bridal Tan Timeline
We recommend booking a trial tan 4–6 weeks before your wedding, especially if this is your first spray tan or if you're testing skincare, lash extensions, or makeup.
Then, schedule your final bridal tan 2–3 days before the big day. This gives the color time to develop and settle into its most natural, flawless finish.
👰 Trial Tan Tips
This is your dress rehearsal glow! Use this tan to:
Try on your dress to see how your skin tone complements your gown
Schedule your makeup trial after your tan to test your full bridal look
Evaluate how it wears with your skincare routine, sweat, and shower schedule
🛁 Pre-Tan Prep = Everything
Glow rule #1: Prep like a pro.
That means:
Exfoliate gently 24 hours before your appointment
Avoid lotions, oils, deodorant, or makeup the day of your tan
Remove any body hair at least 24 hours before
Want the full breakdown? We give every bride our exclusive Bridal Prep Guide to make it foolproof.
💦 But What About Sweat, Tears, and Dancing?
Our brides cry, sweat, and dance their way through the day—and their tans stay flawless. We use professional solutions designed to withstand humidity, hugs, and champagne-fueled dance floors. (Postpartum brides: yes, we got you too. We know the realities of that post-baby life.)
