Your bridal tan journey starts here. Book your trial at least 4 weeks before your wedding to test tone, fade, and timing.
Two days after your trial tan, we want you to assess your tan. Look over your results in natural lighting and wearing something white (or the color you'll be wearing for the big day) and take pictures so you can let us know if you'd like to make any adjustments for your wedding tan appointment.
PRO TIP: Schedule your trial 2 days before your hair/makeup trial so you and your beauty team can see the full look and accurately track foundation colors used.
-
It's best to schedule your wedding glow two days prior to the big day. Take into consideration your timeline when planning for your tan. Avoid booking too close to any events that may conflict with your potential rinse time - rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, etc.
Leaving a week early for a destination wedding? Ask our team for a trusted referral. We know glow pro's around the world.
-
Bronzier should be your very last stop after you've completed your other bridal beauty treatments earlier in the week. From facials and massages to nails and hair removal, please complete these at least 24-48 hours before your airbrush appointment.

Optional upgrades to elevate your bridal bronzing experience.
+ The Prep: A warm towel infused with calming rose water and natural astringents, used just before your tan to gently cleanse the skin. This ritual refreshes the complexion, removes any lingering product, and creates the ideal canvas for a flawless, even application. *Available For In-Studio Appointments Only
+ The Visage: A detailed face-only contouring add-on designed to softly enhance and define your natural features. This service includes precise shading of the cheekbones, jawline, temples, hairline, and chin for a sculpted yet seamless finish. Perfect for camera-ready moments and close-up portraits.
+ The Hydrator: Dry skin? Hydrate, seal, and block unwanted post-tan aromas with our proprietary hydrating formula applied after your spray tan. Highly recommended for dry skin or wedding weekends that involve travel, heat, or long wear. *Included In The Bridal Package
+ The Contour: A soft, sculpted finish applied to areas like the collarbones, arms, back, and décolleté. Ideal for structured or skin-baring dresses, it adds natural-looking definition that photographs beautifully. *Included In The Bridal Package

Depending on how deep the tan lines are, it may not be possible to completely erase them, but we can definitely help soften the contrast and create a more even appearance. If you’re dealing with noticeable tan lines, we highly recommend booking a trial tan as soon as possible and avoiding further sun exposure in the meantime.
-
We typically suggest either one light pass over the face or skipping it altogether to give your makeup artist the cleanest canvas possible. A subtle face tan can help even out the complexion for no-makeup moments, but your artist will handle the rest with expert blending and color matching.
-
We recommend scheduling your spray tan two days before your wedding to allow time for two full showers with soap before the big day. This helps reduce any risk of transfer onto your dress.
Worried about bronzer rubbing off? We also offer a clear solution. It's completely colorless during development, meaning there’s no cosmetic bronzer that could transfer to clothing.
-
To keep your bronze looking vibrant through pre-wedding events, your big day, and the honeymoon, hydration and aftercare are key.
Drink plenty of water, moisturize daily with spray tan-safe lotion, and avoid long hot showers, scrubs, or any exfoliating treatments. Pat dry after bathing and skip retinol or acne products that can fade the tan faster, especially on the face.

No problem at all! Your trial notes, formula, and any customizations will be fully documented. All Bronzier artists follow the same protocol and will be able to replicate (or adjust) your color based on your feedback. Just be sure to let us know of any preferences or changes after your trial.
A few more notes...
+ In the six months leading up to your wedding, avoid sunburns and be cautious of creating tan lines. Spray tans can’t be applied over peeling skin, and strong tan lines can be difficult to fully blend with sunless solution.
+ When consulting with your artist to choose your shade, consider your photographer’s editing style. Filters and color grading can impact how your tan looks in photos. Our goal is to compliment their aesthetic, not compete with it.
+ Still finalizing your vendor team? We’ve put together a list of our glow-to recommendations, all personally vetted by our team and trusted by past brides.
