You've found the dress. You've booked the venue. Your photographer, florist, and hair stylist are all set.
Now it's time to think about one detail that can make a huge difference in how you look and feel on your wedding day: your bridal spray tan.
If you're wondering whether a spray tan trial is really necessary, the answer is simple... absolutely.
A bridal spray tan trial gives you the opportunity to customize your glow before one of the biggest days of your life. Instead of hoping your tan turns out exactly how you imagined, you'll walk into your wedding week knowing exactly what to expect.
If you're planning a wedding in Marshall, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, Albion, Coldwater, Jackson, or anywhere in Southwest Michigan, here's why every bride should schedule a spray tan trial before saying "I do."
What Is a Bridal Spray Tan Trial?
A bridal spray tan trial is a practice appointment that takes place 2–4 weeks before your wedding.
Think of it the same way you would your:
Hair trial
Makeup trial
Dress fitting
It's your opportunity to see how your customized color develops, how it photographs, and how it complements your wedding look before the big day.
Rather than guessing, you'll head into wedding week feeling completely confident.
Your Wedding Day Isn't the Time to Experiment
Every bride has a vision for how she wants to look.
Maybe you want:
A soft, natural glow
A sun-kissed bronze
Just enough color to complement your white dress
A deeper glow for a destination wedding
The only way to know exactly what you'll love is to experience it beforehand. A trial allows us to fine-tune your color so your wedding appointment is completely customized to you.
See How Your Spray Tan Looks in Professional Photos
One of the biggest benefits of a bridal trial is seeing how your glow photographs.
Many brides schedule their trial before:
Engagement photos
Hair and makeup trial
Bridal shower
This gives you the chance to view your tan in natural light, indoor lighting, and through a professional photographer's lens.
If you'd like your wedding tan slightly lighter or deeper, we can easily make those adjustments.
Find Your Perfect Shade
No two brides have the same skin tone.
During your trial, we'll customize your tan based on:
Your natural complexion
Your wedding dress
Your wedding season
Your personal preferences
Whether you're looking for barely-there bronze or a richer glow, your trial helps us create a color that feels like the best version of you.
Reduce Wedding Week Stress
Wedding week is already full of appointments and last-minute details. The last thing you want is to feel nervous about trying something new.
When you've already experienced your spray tan, you'll know:
Exactly how your skin develops
How long your rinse time should be
How your color settles
What to wear after your appointment
How to care for your tan
That peace of mind is priceless. Because you and I both know that the weeks (and months) leading up to the wedding can feel overwhelming enough. Never had a spray tan before? Don't worry! Many of our bridal clients get their first spray tan ever with us before their wedding. Check out this post on how to prep + take care of your tan for best results.
Customize Every Detail
The misconception that most brides have is that a bridal spray tan isn't one-size-fits-all.
At Bronze Allure, we believe your wedding glow should be as unique as your love story.
During your trial, we can adjust:
Overall depth of color
Face color
Hand and foot blending
Contouring preferences
Finish and overall look
Small adjustments make a big difference when your wedding photos will last a lifetime.
Make Your Bridal Glow Last Beyond the Wedding
Many brides use their trial for another special event during their engagement. There are plenty of opportunities to book a glow to make you feel your best as you're dressed in one of the dozens of white outfits you've purchased for your bridal era.
Popular choices include:
Engagement photos
Bridal shower
Bachelorette party
Dress fitting
Rehearsal dinner
Instead of feeling like an extra appointment, your trial becomes another opportunity to celebrate while looking and feeling your best.
