what will you be doing for the wedding?
Fake and Bake?
Self Tanners?
Spray Tan?
Real Tan?
Go Natural?

I'm pretty white and its so annoying but i dont really like tanning beds. i want to try self tanners but i hear so many up and down reviews about them

what is your plan?

I'll be tanning naturally! Gonna overdo it that summer and let it carry over to my wedding date. Don't forget that your white dresses will make you look very tan! White=Beautiful when you wanna show off a tan!

i used to work at a tanning salon and some girls dont know when to stop lol they come out really orange and fake looking and think they look good

then ive seen bad spray tans where they not only look radiactive but itll rub off on their clothes or when they sweat

and if you do decide to fake and bake DONT LEAVE ITFOR THE LAST MINUTE

ah i have a random question for you then!! i havent gone tanning in years, but the few times i did it always made me so itchy--whyyy??

ITA with this one...I have a good 3 months of summer to get tan, and then early enough in Sept so that it doesn't fade

Most likely natural with tanning booth if I need it

thats wierd... did you use any lotions? this usually happens with tingler lotions, or maybe you were allergic to the cleaning product?

have you tried a stand up? those are the best you dont get any wierd spoltches and it tans you everywhere and you dont have to lay on some nasty bed and pray the person cleaned it lolll

I bought my dress in the color I did specifically because it goes well with my pasty white skin I never tan so I'm not gonna start for that day.

I'm doing the same. I don't tan at all...just burn...followed by blistering and peeling if I'm not careful. Eeek.

For me, it's easier to go with an off-white/ivory/cream-colored dress than attempt tanning. I'd look like an Oompa Loompa (and I'm not much taller than one...)

Re: strolen from 09: Tanning

my mom brought this up over the weekend. it will really depend on the weather leading up to the wedding. if we have a couple of hot days (like we just did) then i will be able to go out & get some natural tanning done. however if not then my mom is forcing me to get a spray tan. i used to be naturally tan all year round but not anymore. my mom wants FH to do the same but he most likely wont. he is as white as a piece of paper & does not tan.

however when we get back from Hawaii honeymoon we will be tan & sun burnt.

Re: strolen from 09: Tanning

I used to tan all the time but then i think i started getting little wrinkles i think. i'm sooo afraid of that so i thinki'm going to end up doing aibrush...there is a sealer that they can put on after so the color doesn't rub off. But also i'm getting married in teh winter and i don't want to look like a crazy person with a tan in the middle of january..lol
