BRIDAL QUESTIONS
Brides Ask. We Answer.
When should I schedule my trial appointment?
2 to 3 weeks before your wedding date. That gives you time to see your result, talk it through, and settle your formula and depth before your final appointment.
When is the final spray tan appointment before the wedding?
2 to 3 days before the ceremony, never the night before. Every formula develops over 24 hours, and the extra time lets your color settle before you put on your dress.
Will the tan transfer to my dress?
Your final tan is timed with your dress in mind. At 2 to 3 days out, the cosmetic bronzer has been rinsed away and you've showered before you ever put the dress on.
Can you accommodate my entire bridal party?
Yes. Appointments for your bridal party are scheduled around your events so everyone's color has time to develop. Contact us to arrange group scheduling.
What if my skin is sensitive?
Tell Jana when you book. Your trial is where you find out how your skin responds to the formula, weeks before it matters, and she'll choose between Bronze Organics and Rapid Development with that in mind.
Do you work with wedding photographers for timing?
Yes. We coordinate with photographers, planners, and venues to ensure your bronze timing aligns with your shoot schedule and ceremony timeline. Contact us with your vendor team details.
