The sense of smell: Creating memories for years to come

Many memories are triggered by a single scent.  While putting together your ensemble (gown, shoes, jewelry, etc) do not forget the one single item that your new husband may always remember.  Your signature wedding day scent will bring back happy wedding memories for years to come.

The perfect scent to wear when you say, "I do" should be soft and unabashedly romantic — think traditional floral notes like rose, gardenia, and jasmine. - Marie Claire

Your fragrance should match your wedding day attire, location, and style. While floral scents are recommended, do not select a heavy flowery scent on a hot, day or outdoor wedding because it may attract insects or bees.    If you typically do not wear fragrance, a body lotion will suffice. 


If you'd like to create your own special touches, why not have a blend custom mixed to fit your personality and add a fresh memory of your day.

Scent Choice By The Season

Spring or Summer


A spring or summer wedding calls for a light scent, such as a verbena or honeysuckle. Look for a fresh fragrance that will not be excessive on a hot day.  A gentle floral perfume such as bluebells or lilac would be sweet for a spring bride wearing an organza gown with pearl bridal jewelry. If a festive summer celebration is more your speed, a fun upbeat green apple or citrus fragrance will be terrific.


 Fall or WinterFor a fall or winter wedding that is more relaxed, look for a perfume with hints of vanilla, orange, or amber. The eco-friendly bride may enjoy a fragrance with a hint of patchouli, but don’t use the single note essential oil, it is too overused for a bride.


A richer fragrance is appropriate in the colder months. Perfumes with musk or spice bases are always a good choice.If you favor sophisticated scents, look for perfumes classified as “oriental”. If you were wearing a trumpet gown and stunning jewelry, an intense, exotic fragrance would be an excellent choice.
