   Seconding the vote to not do what Ross did (aka- don't do the "mystic tan" or tan booth or whatever it's called when you get into a booth and a machine sprays you instead of a person). I did this once, it was awful. Look for salons in your area that do airbrush tanning - specifically ask if there will be someone spraying…

   My girls and I did spray tans before the wedding because we are all fairly Casper like. I originally wanted to do an airbrush tan because I had read that they are better but both of my girls were under 18 (SD and FD) and they were pretty sketched out by the idea of someone seeing them in their bra/undies. So we tracked…

   I did airbrush tanning for the first time before my wedding because I was trying to hide some severe tan lines from my bathing suit. I use an exfoliating poof when I wash in the shower so I guess I exfoliated ahead of time? The airbrushing specialist recommended that I do my spray tan the Wednesday before my Saturday…

   I looooove me some spray tans. I got one for my wedding but I'd gotten lots before that so it was no big deal to me. If you are super fair, definitely go for the lightest. I have dark hair and freckles and am able to tan, I just prefer not to because I have a history of skin cancer in my family and it is a sensitive thing…

   I'm super de-dooper pale so I choose not to wear a white dress. My dress is light gold with a white lace overlay, so I don't get washed out. I'll probably lay in the tanning bed twice 7 minutes each at the lowest setting just to get a little bit of a healthy glow. I never tan but I like the little sunkiss I get when I'm…

   I have not gotten a spray tan in years and years, so I don't have any photos (or I don't know which photos would have been before and would have been after). I will say that with the "light" spray tan, I had a little bit more color but didn't look tan, ya know? Like I wasn't pasty white, but also didn't look like I'd been…

   Exfoliate/shave 24 hours ahead of time. No lotions the day of. I'm really fair skinned, and have gotten some darker (medium I suppose) spray tans for photos. Wear dark clothes the day you get it done, cause lots of the sprays contain bronzers that can rub off. When you shower the next day, it'll look like your tan is…

   Don't go to the machine/booth thing. I had a friend who used to do that method all the time, and if she turned her head the wrong way or scrunched her nose or anything, she'd have weird lines on her or the spray would miss a spot. It never turned out well. I've always done the method where a person comes in with a spray…

   This is all super helpful - looks like I have to start looking for local places doing the airbrush tan - I live in a pretty big city so I should have options. I guess I'll be searching Yelp or something because the tanning salon chains here seem to do Mystic, which is the booth kind if I'm not mistaken. I am relieved that…

    I also would advise against the booths that spray you. I did this once and I had the most awkward lines. Including two half moons underneath my boobs! Haha. As far as the wedding. I was worried I would look like a ghost, too. I am very pale. I didn't end up using any spray tan and I didn't think I looked too pale on my…
