The Bridal Spray Tanning Experience
Designed to enhance your makeup and elevate your entire bridal look, Krista offers luxury bridal spray tanning both on location and in studio for brides and bridal parties. Long before becoming a bridal makeup artist, she began her career specializing in spray tanning while attending beauty college—and 14 years later, it remains one of her most sought after services. Each tan is fully customized to your skin tone and preferences, delivering a natural, even result, never orange and never one size fits all. Using organic, skin loving formulas, the application is lightweight, quick drying, and flawlessly blended for a long lasting glow that fades evenly over time. The result is soft, radiant, luminous skin that enhances your makeup and photographs beautifully in every setting. Perfect for your wedding day, bridal shower, bachelorette, or honeymoon, a professional spray tan evens skin tone and adds a healthy, polished glow. For best results, appointments are typically scheduled 2–3 days prior to your event, with personalized timing recommendations provided upon booking. Availability is limited. Inquire to reserve your date and receive a fully tailored bridal glow experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
-What is Krista's signature style?
Krista’s signature style is soft, elevated glam. Polished, radiant, and effortless. Think luminous, healthy looking skin, subtly sculpted to define your features, neutral toned eyes with fluffy, soft false lashes to add depth and length, bronzed, blushy cheeks, and lined, glossy lips. You will be wearing a full face of makeup with Krista, but it won’t be heavy or dramatic, just a balanced, medium coverage look that enhances your features. Please take the time to review Krista’s Instagram and gallery to ensure her artistry style aligns with your vision.
-When should I book my date?
Most brides reserve their date 9-12 months in advance, particularly for peak wedding season. Krista accepts a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every bride receives an exceptional level of care and attention. Popular weekends between April and November fill quickly, so early booking is highly recommended.
-Do you offer bridal previews?
Yes, and they’re one of the most exciting parts of the process! Bridal previews are optional but highly recommended. This time is designed to be a collaborative experience. A time to see how makeup interacts with your skin, explore textures and finishes, and ensure every detail feels natural, flattering, and true to you. We’ll review your inspiration, tailor the makeup to your features, and refine the details so your wedding day look feels effortless and confident.
For destination brides who won’t be traveling in prior to the wedding, welcome party makeup may be added as an alternative.
-Can I book a preview without signing a contract?
Bridal previews are reserved exclusively for brides who have signed a contract and secured their wedding date. This allows Krista to dedicate her time, creativity, and preparation to clients who are fully committed. Limiting previews to contracted clients also protects the integrity of the experience, allowing Krista to provide the focused attention and high level of service each bride deserves, and working toward a confirmed and meaningful milestone: your wedding day.
-When should I schedule my bridal preview?
Bridal previews are best scheduled 2–3 months before the wedding. At that point, many details like your dress, hairstyle, and overall aesthetic are more finalized, making it the perfect time to design a cohesive and elevated beauty look. Scheduling closer to the big day also ensures that any seasonal skin changes or tones are reflected accurately.
-What brands do you use?
Krista works with a curated selection of high-performance luxury brands, including Charlotte Tilbury, Dior, Hourglass, NARS, and more. Each product is chosen for its longevity, finish, and camera ready quality.
-Is skin prep included?

-Do you offer on-location services?
Yes. Travel fees apply depending on distance and logistics.
-How long does makeup take?
Bridal makeup typically takes 75–90 minutes to allow time for skin prep, application, and detail work. Bridesmaids and other party members usually take 50–60 minutes each. Krista creates a custom beauty timeline so everything runs seamlessly on your big day.
-Do you stay for touch ups?
If you'd prefer professional touch ups throughout the day or full day beauty coverage, it is offered as an add on service.
-Do you work with all skin tones and types?
