Spray tan on wedding day?

Hi I'm getting married in July. I'm naturally pale skinned and not exactly ginger, more like an auburn shade.
I've had spray tans before as a guest at weddings and always loved it on my body but somehow my face/make up never worked well with it. I've just had my trial tan and make up done for my wedding day and went for a medium light tan, but I hated my face when the make up was done!
I've already booked the MUA for the day and I know her quite well as I've been going to her for 20 years for everything from nails to waxing. I'd feel terrible if I cancelled her.
Or maybe it's not really the fault of the make up, do I just not suit tan?! She did say she could do a lighter one that's just like a glow. What are your experiences of fake tan or none on your wedding day? I like it on my arms and chest, just not on my face!

I’ve worn fake tan as a wedding guest but I’d never, ever have considered it for my own wedding! I had 3/4 sheer lace sleeves on my dress so felt no need and it would have just made everything look off.

Could you use one of those gradual tan moisturisers?

Not as harsh as fake tan
