Three days before your wedding: Spray Tan

Evans loves spray tans because they're great at giving a beautiful glow and an even tone -- minus the sun damage. She says, "if this is the bride’s first time, you definitely want to go at least two times prior to the wedding" to test it out. You want to make sure it doesn't turn out orange or streaky, and see how the color develops and fades. Then, if you're satisfied with the results, "you definitely want to get a spray tan at least three days before the wedding so you ensure the coloring doesn’t come off on clothes, towels, sheets, etc." For the face though, Schlip says to test out an at-home face self-tanner (skip the spray, which may come out too dark) a month before wedding, and if it works then reapply the day before. Try Lancome Flash Bronzer Oil-Free Tinted Self-Tanning Face Lotion, $30.

Be careful about SPF in makeup though--some kinds can give your face a whitish cast in photographs.
