Are you considering a spray tan for your wedding day? Fab! We want you to feel and look the best in your wedding dress on your big day! Pro Tip: Be proactive and schedule a trial session. Never get a spray tan or use a self-tanner the day of your wedding.

For the bride who prefers a one-and-done treatment we suggest a spray tan 2-3 days prior to the big day by one of our Certified Beettan Partners. Avoid wedding-eve spray tans, as the tan continues to develop 24-48 hours, so you will need some time for the full results to appear. Beettan founder, Michelle Peth recommends using our self-tanning lotion, a buildable formula that goes on clear and stays on without staining. She suggests two applications starting 24 to 48 hours before the big day. Our self-tanner is the perfect product for destination weddings because you can apply it yourself and build up to the color you want.
