Make it Personal
It might not feel like it when you are frantically calling your caterers to make another change to accommodate your guests, but your wedding day is all about you! This means that when it comes to the scent that will accompany you down the aisle, you need to make sure it’s a personal choice. This will probably be the most important day of your life so far and something you’ll remember forever, so choose a fragrance that makes you feel amazing. Whether it’s a scent you’ve loved for years or a new favourite you have recently found, tailor your day to include a fragrance that epitomises you. Shop here for new fragrances.
Be Symbolic
Weddings are very traditional occasions and there are lots of deeper, hidden meanings to the celebrations, the gifts and the attire. You can acknowledge this by making a symbolic choice with your wedding perfume and search for the fragrances that include notes that mean something to you and the commitment you are making. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Heliotrope – eternal love and devotion
- Hibiscus – prosperity and fertility
- Honeysuckle – bonds of love
- Iris – faith and trust
- Jasmine – grace and elegance
- Magnolia – fortune and purity
- Myrtle – good luck and love in a marriage
- Oak – hope, strength, serenity and peace
- Orange – fertility and good fortune
- Rose – blessed by God
- Ylang Ylang – aphrodisiac and sensual
Complement Your Surroundings
Just as you have carefully considered how the wine will complement the food and how the colours in your flowers will complement your bridesmaids dresses, you’ll need to think also about how your wedding day perfume will suit your surroundings. If you are having fresh flowers in bouquets, on tables or to decorate your venue, think about the blooms they will contain and see if you can match up or contrast the scents with the top, middle and base notes in your chosen fragrance. You can also balance your fragrance with your colour scheme – opting for a light scent to accommodate a pastel colour scheme or more bolder scents for dark, rich colours.
Pair With Your Partner
It goes without saying that you’ll need to work in harmony with your loved one on this special day, which means choosing scents that complement each other. First of all, you’ll need to make sure that your choice gets your partner’s approval, as they’re the ones that are going to be by your side all day. So, have a test run and try wearing your scents at the same time to make sure that they create a harmonious aroma.
How to Make Your Wedding Day Perfume Last
Once you’ve chosen the best wedding perfume, you’ll want to make it last for every second of this amazing day. Here are a few tips to help your fragrance radiate slowly throughout the day and evening:
- Layer up the scent by using matching skincare products in the same fragrance range – such as shower gel and body lotion – before you apply your perfume.
- Spritz your scent on the warmest areas of your body to help the fragrance last – such as the wrists, neck and elbows.
- Consider misting table menus or tablecloth hems with your chosen fragrance to build up a gentle aroma in your venue.
