Im that type of person Laura that i'll happily say if i dont like or want something lol.

They know me well enough to put up with it :-) You could say it in a nicer way, like her tan might go patchy or look unnatural x

never had spray tan and never will, as I am against everything that is not natural, I very rarely wear foundation, and will do on wedding day but even doing this upsets me already as its not me, I have seen some people with fake tan and its so obvious it looks ridiculous if there is too much of it, so I would not recommend. go sunbed gradually it looks much better

The thing with Spray tans is, its all in the preparation. You need to exfoliate for about 2weeks beforehand & also moisturize. You especially need to exfoliate, ankles, knees & elbows as these are all areas that have rougher skin. exfoliate more on areas that are prone to dryness, otherwise you will probably get patchy areas. I use Fake bake cream tanner & its brilliant, you can get it from debenhams & if you buy the package then it comes with a brill exfoliant & a oil that you use after showers to make the tan easier to apply. If you did all this then you would be okay but I'm sure it will get bit hectic in the run up weeks to your wedding. personally I'm going to go on the sunbeds but start really slowly so only for 3mins the first week & slowly build it up I can get the colour i want.

I hope this helps xxx

thanks millz, i may try one but they look so dangerous! x

so told my MOH last night i didnt really want her wearing fake tan and the repsonse i got wasnt what i really wanted! she said that she needs it and she is vain so cant help but want a tan i said that i wouldnt be and it would look odd wiith just her looking brown !she seems to think not and H2B wasnt helping by saying oh you could try another tan Laura and see if you still dont like it after that!! grrrr why cant people just do what you want for 1 day?!! i have 2 other BM and 1 said she was thinking about it and i said i didnt want them all tanned up and had no response. had one back from the 3rd bm and she said she usually does a DIY one weekly but would look pale and pasty for the wedding if thats what i wanted. Seriously they are wearing stunning dresses with have all their hair done and ive got them pretty jewwlerry to wear and fake tan is all thats on their minds?! why is it the little things in life can be a headache!!!?

I'm ginge and happy being pale on the day. I want to look like me.

I'm not sure what to do as of yet. We're getting married 6th October and I'm really worried I'm going to have strap marks from walking about in best tops all summer. I'm not really a fan of strapless tops even though my dress is strapless. Would a spray tab or regular sunbeds be better?

Spray tans look fab while they last but I always go patchy a few days later no matter how much I exfoliate and moisturise so I think I will leave it for my wedding and just match my wedding dress! xx

I'm not going to bother trying to tan. I am hoping to get married in August though so I may get a small tan over summer but I wont be trying for one. And my MOH is half cast and the other tans loads but it doesn't bother me. That is what they are always like and I will be how I always am, the photos will be real relfections of all os us then, not fake ones xxx

i haven't got the time to exfoliate and rub cream every day, so my fake tans always look crap after a few days lol

i thought about fake tan, but i plan on using the pool, so it'll be wrecked before the day and i'll look stupid. my skin colour is a little strange. it looks like i have tan lines down my arms, but it's just the pigmentation of my skin. so i can look like i've had a streaky tan, no matter what i do lol

i plan to go on a few sunbeds before i go to cyprus, so i start my tan off. my face is less likely to burn then

i'm gonna get a spray tan for my wedding but i never considered it rubbing off on my dress, i'm probably gonna have to do a test run like one of the other ladies suggested and keep on some white clothes to see if it rubs off... but i think i'm probably gonna ask the people that actually provide the spray tan you know they should know whether they'll rub off and if they do i might go on the sunbeds on the weeks running up to the wedding :S ahh i dunno... but first i'd ask the professional spray tanners opinion lol!! :) x

hi girls just glancing over a few comments about going orange with fake sprays.......... salons do not use a colour tailored to your skin tone its basically one does for all.....its based on the amino acids in your reacting wth the spray.....the colour you go as soon as youve had your spray done isnt always necesary the colour you will stay...you need to shower this "top layer" off and wash with a moiturising shower gel...to look after it properly (and this sounds mad) is exfoliate!!!!! it takes away the dead skin cells and make your tan last longer....also b4 sprayage your therapist should put a barrier cream on your knees, elbows and toes as this stops a "clogged up look" of tan in one area its also because skin is generally drier in this areas and makes the tan stand out more!!!!!
Pointers on getting a spray tan:

1. Ask your therapist what colour they r using and whether its good for your skin tone, if not you can ask to change it, youre paying after all!
2. Ensure barrier cream is used for an even tan
3. RELAX! when getting sprayed its important to relax esp your face, because if you wrinkle it more spray will land in the creases and tan will not be even
4. Take your time to dry!!!!! theres nothing worse than getting a spray done to hurrying for the next person! DONT! your spray wont be even and WILL rub off unless your dry!
5. Also dont wear a bra or socks when done because this will also rub off your tan unless your dry

i find the best way to get a spray is to get a mobile lady that way you can dry in the comfort of your own home!!!!!!!!!

Just thought id update.My MOH no longer wants to be my MOH because she didnt like being told not to wear fake tan and she thinks i havent been supportive of her recently or been there for her which is a load of rubbish! ive now got to finish off organising my hen and pay for it(she has given me everyones money) She has also going to pay for her dress now as its useless to me! im a little upset but the way she has treated me the last few months its probably a good thing. Ive told H2B not to have her husband as a usher now and i dont want anymore hassel over my wedding and wouldnt want any bad feelings on the day or for her to tell him on the day no you cant be a usher now. H2B is gutted but i said you can still br friends i jsut thinks its best he doesnt come . I still have 2 great bridesmaids who i know will make my day a happy one and go smoothly and as long as we get married thats all that matters x
