    I was like this I had my first one the wednesday before we got married on the friday... I had mine done at home and would recomend it to anyone. Just dont panic when you get darker throughout the day as its normal... then when you shower after the 8 hours you'll go a lovely colour! just enjoy... if your brave enough either go completly naked Youll need your bra off so you dont get strap marks especially if your dress is strapless... I was in my own home was brave enough to go topless but then I had a really BIG white backside! She said after next time I have one I can either go completly naked (they have seen it all before and dont care its their job) or she said we can pull my knickers about a bit so im not as white if that makes sense!? x

    I have had a spray tan at home and at someone elses. Much easier at home as you can just put a dressing gown on otherwise at someone elses you have to get dress, didn't have bra or pants on, couldn't do trousers and had to go out bare foot so notto smudge anything. I always wear a thong when having a spray tan so the majority or you gets done.
    Had mine done day before 2 night before a wedding and had to travel to birmingham from s. wales on train so had to get up really early, didn't have shower before train so was really orange but when I had shower it went a lovely colour.

    You have nothing to worry about hun... Make sure to exfoliate tonight and make sure to rub in a small amount of moisturiser on the areas that tend to go funny with a fake tan before she sprays you (do it before you/she arrives)... i always put a tiny amount on my elbows, ankles and back of heel, knees and inside of my wrists. i find these bits tend to go a bit darker as they are had to exfoliate all of the dry skin off of... oh and also the bit where your boob meets your arm too (not armpit, the front bit of your chest)

    good luck! :)

    p.s. wear skimpy pants (french knicker tan lines look ridiculous, i speak from experience here lol!) and baggy dark clothing is a must else you will stain everything a murky orange/brown colour!

    OO i love a spray tan! havent had one for a couple of years though. I always feel much better about myself after a tan! definately give urself a really good exfoliate, especially in the places listed above (round ankles, elbows etc). I went topless for mine but wore a thong, not a huge white space then! xx

    My spray tan is tonight at 9pm, she said its best to do it late because you can sleep and wash it off in the morning. Im still a little nervous but im ok, I had a bath and exfoliated last night the best I could, hopefully iv done enough and its ok. Didn't moisturize tho, didnt realize I had to, should i do that now?? before later?? Ill go topless but will wear thongs or knickers. I havnt really got any loose clothing apart from maybe a nighty lol which is prob ok actually, not wore since being pregnant but im sure it will help, my nightgown is to thick, its a winter one lol, Im just trying to stay calm and propear

    possibly a really stupid question but.... spray tan won't stain your wedding dress will it? i always thought it would make orange stains so never thought to have one, and even tho i dont thinks its the best idea...i was thinking of having a few sessions on the old sun beds, like 3 times becouse i'm also mixed race and i tan easy, but if spray tan doesn't make marks then atleast theres a better option ; ) x

    I think if it does stain it'll be on the inside of the dress and it should come right out in the wash/dry cleaners anyway.

    Glad it turned ou ok in the end! Id dread going orange or it all smudging in the bed lol. This thread is great, I havent had a spray tan before, was supposed to get one last week but had to cancel due to time constraints and funds. I think I'll have a go at one before the big day though and see how I get on xx
