I would HIGHLY recommend getting a test run done first... cause disasters CAN and DO happen!!

i agree with missk def get a trial ...it would be horrific if it didnt turn out right for ur wedding day ...

im also getting a tan for my wedding and im getting it down on the thursday.. they said its best to get it done 2 days before. just incase some of the tan rubs off or watever and then they can just fix it up a bit so yeah sounds good to me.
im also getting a test run done in october cos thats when my hens night is aswell hehe. goodluck

I'm glad you're getting a trial because I've seen so many clients look orange on their wedding days and I feel sorry for them (and I feel sorry for me having to do the makeup! LOL).
If I were you I would only go one or two shades darker than your normal skin colour... otherwise it can look fake. I actually think fair brides are so beautiful..
So just be careful, and look after your skin.
Good luck

See how you go with your trial, maybe post up some before and after shots for us to see.
I'm being biased because i'm not a fan of fake tans... and because I've seen disasters... so i'd prefer to steer clear of them, but that's just me.

I wouldn't recommend going really dark though.
a few shades lighter will be nice.

and make sure you follow the instructions from the spray tan people on how to maintain it, and not get blotchy etc.. it's really important.

Good luck

thanks for all of that:) i get a spray tan every big event i go too.. and was just wanting to go a bit darker than i usually get, just so it last when im up in queensland?? does it last longer the darker you get? but i will post before and after shots though.. i wont be goin as dark as i thought now though.

I found a place that says the tan doesn't come off on clothing. The tan solution is called Liquid Sun by Vani-T

I'm having a trial done next week, just a light shade and seeing how that goes.
I will only have a light shade on the day cause dark brown against a white dress wouldn't look good I know.

I was also going to suggest a test run ... just so you know how your skin reacts, how long it takes to look 'right' for you
