Get a VersaSpa™ Sunless Tan by MagicTan® to bronze your skin. This allows enough time before the wedding for your tan to fade if you feel it's too dark. You can tan again two to three days before your wedding if you like the bronzed look. We recommend adding a dry brushing service before sunless tanning to prepare your skin for a flawless application.
