   Ok so I am not a tanner (Dj Tanner or a fake and bake Tanner)I have very pale skin but at the pool or the beach I pick up a slightly darker shade of pale pretty easily. My BMs have been asking me if I am going to tan when I wear my ivory dress next fall. (Here I thought I was rocking this pale) So I was wondering how many…

   Late on this post. I am pale. Everyone who knows me IRL knows this. I cannot tan no matter how much tanning bed or laying out. I burn and burn. And I get freckles. But no tan. I have Irish skin so it loves to burn. But honestly I wore a white white dress and I looked tan in it because it was so white. And personally I…

   see that's my fear, if I tan I won't look like me (I mean I will just a tan version of me) cause I am never very tan. and it would take me MONTHS to get a noticable tan. and that would be extra $$$

   I am extremely pale!! I've been able to tan once in my entire life, long story short, I was so badly burned, that I couldn't sleep, bathe, or walk for 3 days - hospitalized!! But after the angony was over, I had a beautiful tan on the front part of my legs ONLY - it was a sight. So no, I will not do any type of tanning,…

   I'll probably tan a little for my December wedding, because we're going to Cancun for the HM, and if I don't tan, I'll BURN like it's going out of style once we get there. For me, it's not so much about tanning for the wedding but for the honeymoon! :)

   I hit the tanning bed for my wedding, but for a fall wedding, I don't think you'd have to worry about it too much if you didn't have a tan. I definitely had a full on tan and it wasn't necessary (at least not in May!) but I couldn't help myself.

   I tanned for the wedding a little. DH has a darker completion than me and was already tan from coaching spring sports and I didn't want to look like the palest bride in the world next to him. I've vowed to never tan again though! I'm done!

   I agree with Cheryl, I say don't tan!! I am pale and I burn when I hit the sun. I was married in June - in white - and didn't do one bit of tanning. I looked like myself. It would have been really weird for me to be tan in the pics. Do whatever you are most comfortable with.

    I am doing a combination of tanning bed and pool/beach tan, but nothing outrageous. Just enough to get a nice color/glow.
