How do you plan to get a nice tanned look on your wedding day? I do not want to look too tan next to FH. (he doesn't plan on doing any tanning unless we go to the caribbean before our wedding)
A friend of mine was so done up that she was a stark contrast especially in pictures...i.e. unnatural. Does your FH plan on tanning if you are not getting married in the summer months?

I might do the spray on tan, we'll have to see. I tried the one that comes in the lotions, and it actually works pretty well. I don't think that FH will tan, we both burn to crisps in the sun, and I don't see him spraying or putting anything on his body.

Probably I will just use a tinted moisturizer. I don't want anything heavy on my skin as I am getting married in the summer. But, I burn easily and hate the sun, so I won't be getting a natural tan.

Re: To Tan or Not to Tan?
I'm gonna hit the tanning booth for a couple weeks leading up to the day. Maybe twice each weeek. I need to tan a little because FH tans so easily. He could probably tan during a blizzard.

Re: To Tan or Not to Tan?
Well...I definitely want to have some color. Right now I am trying that jergens lotion that has been a big hit on the NWR board. I will see how that works. I also may get some sun or hit the tanning salon for a few sessions.

I usually tan in the summer time because I have outbreaks of psoriasis in the summer that disappear when I tan. Though now that I think about it, I would look ridiculous with a dark tan in the middle of the winter when everyone knows full well I have not been anywhere before my wedding and honeymoon. I highly doubt I will tan for my wedding. I always laugh at those mall chicks who have deep tans in the winter time - I don't want to be one of them.

I'll be using a bronzer. Skin cancer runs in FH's family and so he'd have a heart attack if I went tanning, not to mention I've never been and I don't know if I want my first time to be before my wedding!

Re: To Tan or Not to Tan?
I'm afraid to tan and then have my make up will look wierd or the contrast with my dress. Maybe I will feel different as we get closer to the date

Re: To Tan or Not to Tan?
Last September I started going to the tanning salon (in additon to the summer tan I already had) so that I could see how it would look for the photographs. We took our e-pics on the one year mark. I had my makeup done with the tan so I could see how that looked as well. Best thing I could have done because all fears were calmed and FH decided to tan as well this year for the wedding.
I agree...see if you can get FH on board with this.

Re: To Tan or Not to Tan?
Does anyone have any tanning advice? I'm very pale, and most of the rest of the bridal party actually benefits from the Italian genes, so I would like to do a bit of tanning. I may go try it out next week as a test run...what do I wear/bring?

Re: To Tan or Not to Tan?
I will be going to the tanning salon maybe twice...I need to have some type of color plus going on my HM in Aruba, I don't want to burn the first day down there...
FH has said he will go tanning with me too...If I am too tan & he isn't, he looks green next to me

Re: To Tan or Not to Tan?
No tan for me. I'm a winter bride and it wouldn't look right, IMO.

Where did you find the Jergens tanning stuff? I have looked EVERYWHERE for it, and I live in NYC! It is really annoying me that I can't find it, because I have heard great things :)

Re: To Tan or Not to Tan?
I'm an all natural kinda girl, I don't do the salons. Altho every summer I have to burn 1st, then I tan a lil and that's it for the rest of the year. Just be careful of how much you tan cause that white dress might make you look TOO dark.
