Your wedding day tan starts way before your wedding day
And that's actually a good thing.
Here's what most brides get wrong
They wait until the week of the wedding to think about their tan. One appointment, no trial, no idea how their skin responds to solution - and suddenly they're stressed about something that was supposed to make them feel good.
The brides who look incredible in every photo - engagement shoot, bachelorette, rehearsal dinner, the aisle - didn't leave it to one appointment. They started early, did a trial, and showed up to every occasion already knowing exacly what they were walking in with.
That's what we're building for you.
Why your first appointment is never your wedding day
Before we ever talk about your wedding, we do a trial tan. This is your appointment to figure out what works - what solution fits your skin tone, how you develop, how long you want to go, what makes you feel like you on a really good day.
No surprises on your wedding day. Just a result you've already seen, already loved, and already know looks good in photos.
Spray tans cannot be done the day of your wedding. Your trial should be scheduled for at least 4-8 weeks out.
EVENS EVERYTHING OUT
Adds warmth and evenness across your skin so your dress, your flowers, your whole look reads cohesive. Everything just lands better.
Built For Photos
Camera flash washes out natural skin tones. A light-to-medium bronze gives you dimension, definition, and depth that photographs beautifully.
YOU'LL FEEL IT
There is no nervousness that a fresh golden tan doesn't soften. Confidence is the best thing you can wear down the aisle.
How this actually works
Step 1 - Reach out: Tell me your wedding date and what events you're prepping for. I'll help you build a timeline that makes sense for your schedule.
Step 2 - Book your trial: We meet, we talk through your skin, your dress, your vibe. You leave bronzed and we both know exactly what we're working with going forward.
Step 3 - Build your routine: Leading up to your wedding, we keep you consistent. Engagement shoot, bach weekend, rehearsal dinner - you show up to all of it feeling like yourself, just more bronzed.
Step 4 - Wedding week: Your final pre-wedding tan is scheduled 2-3 days before ceremony. You walk down the aisle already knowing you look good. Because you do.
When to book everything - in order
The spray tan is always last. Plan everything else backward from it.
6–8 WEEKS OUT
Trial tan
Book at least one — ideally two — trial sessions to dial in your perfect shade and develop your prep routine. *Trial tans are not required, just highly encouraged.
4–6 WEEKS OUT
Skin treatments & facials
Chemical peels, microneedling, laser, or anything that exfoliates or sensitizes skin. Get these done well in advance.
2–3 WEEKS OUT
Waxing & lash extensions
Waxing too close to a tan lifts color. Give your skin time to fully calm down before your final session.
3–5 DAYS OUT
Hair color & highlights
Shampoo strips tan — get your color done before your final spray so you're not washing it away.
1–2 DAYS OUT
Your spray tan — the last thing
This is always the final beauty service before your wedding day. Nothing comes after this.
Avoid lotion, deodorant, and sweat before your ceremony. Your skin will thank you — and so will your photographer.

What Our Brides Say
I booked the bridal glow with Ashley, because I’ve never had a spray tan, so having a trial tan prior to my wedding was ideal for me. Upon arrival I was greeted at the door and we headed to her set up. Seeing as how I’ve never had a spray tan before, I really had no idea exactly what I wanted. I just want to be tan for my wedding haha she went over the different options she has to offer, and what she’d recommend, but heavily pressed that it’s ultimately MY decision, so we can do whatever I choose. I ended up going with the clear solution as I didn’t want the bronze transferring to my dress the night of my wedding, which is actually what she recommended. From start to finish she was so professional, and kind. I’m not a very outgoing kind of person, and I don’t converse a lot with someone I don’t already know, but we conversed throughout the whole process like it was nothing. I know that probably sounds silly, but that’s big for me. I don’t like feeling awkward when I’m having a service done. And my experience with Ashley was far from that! My tan looks beautiful. In my opinion it doesn’t even look like a spray tan! She also gave me a cute little bride goodie bag with aftercare soaps, and a sweet thank you card! I highly recommend trying her out! And the fact that she gives the option to be mobile?! GENIUS!

Ashley at Sunny Daze Sunless Tanning was absolutely amazing! I booked the bridal package, which included a trial tan, and I’m so glad I did. Ashley took the time to make sure we were completely aligned on my color preferences and longevity goals, and she truly delivered exactly what I was hoping for. I’ve had many spray tans before, but none like this. Truly a customized experience and result.
I chose the mobile option, and she came to my location both times. The setup was super clean, efficient, and honestly such a cool and convenient experience. It made everything stress-free, especially during busy wedding prep.
Ashley was kind, fun, professional, and very respectful of my goals for the tan. I felt totally comfortable and confident in her expertise. I would highly recommend her to any bride or anyone looking for a flawless, customized spray tan!

We had Ashely come to our Airbnb in KC a few days before my daughter's wedding to Spray Tans for the bridal party. Ashley was friendly, professional and took the time talk to each of the girls to find out what they needed. Everyone raved about her afterward and looked amazing! As the MOTB, this was my first spray tan experience, and I was a little nervous. Ashley made me feel very comfortable and listened to what I wanted.
Highly recommend booking her for your next Spray Tan and if you have a wedding party - call her! Her van set-up is great!
Happy to support small business!
-Karla F.
Ashley was amazing and took the time to understand my skin tones and even asking about sweating and all the nitty gritty things that come with a spray tan. In all my years of spray tanning she was honestly be best and my tan lasted the longest. This was my first time with her and I was getting a tan for my engagement photos. I will definitely be using her for my tanning needs going forward. 1000000/10 recommend!

Absolutely perfect tan for my wedding! Ashley is so easy to work with.
