For Brides & Bridal Parties
Sunbed Hire for Weddings
Build a deep, natural, photo-ready tan from the comfort of your own home. Our 4–6 week hire packages are the most popular choice for brides, bridesmaids and mums of the bride across Birmingham and the West Midlands.
Why brides choose home hire
- Tan privately at home — no salon trips between dress fittings, hair and venue meetings
- Builds a deep, natural base that photographs beautifully
- Far cheaper than 6+ weeks of salon sessions
- Share it with bridesmaids and mums — one hire, the whole party
- No last-minute spray-tan disasters — your colour is real and consistent

Most popular wedding package
Our 4-week stand-up hire at £175 is the most-booked bridal package — it's our most popular option and covers the full build-and-deepen phase. Many brides extend by a further 2 weeks (or upgrade to the 6-week hire at £260) to give themselves more flexibility around hair, make-up trials and dress fittings.
Frequently asked questions
How long before my wedding should I start tanning?
Start your hire 4–6 weeks before the big day. That gives you 2–3 weeks to build a deep, natural-looking base and a further 1–2 weeks to top up so you peak on the wedding day itself.
Lie-down or stand-up for wedding prep?
Most brides choose the stand-up — it's the most popular option, gives a more even tan with no pressure points, and fits well in busy wedding-prep schedules with quick 8–10 minute sessions. Lie-downs are great if you want the most relaxing, salon-style experience.
Will my tan look natural in wedding photos?
Yes — a properly built sunbed tan photographs beautifully and avoids the orange-tone risk you get with last-minute spray tans. Build gradually, don't overdo your final session, and moisturise daily for a soft, even finish.
Can the bridal party share the hire?
Absolutely. Lots of our wedding bookings are shared between the bride, bridesmaids and mums of the bride/groom. One 4–6 week hire covers the whole party.
What if I burn the week before the wedding?
Don't tan close to the day — stop sessions 2–3 days before the wedding so any redness has fully settled. We always recommend conservative session times in the final week.
