If you thought picking your wedding outfit required a lot of thought, just wait until you start thinking about your fragrance choice! The aroma you drape around yourself on your big day is just as essential! Not sure how to pick the right one when there are so many options out there? Don’t worry! Just keep reading for a guide to choosing the perfect wedding perfume or cologne and some cheeky do’s and don’ts to keep in mind.
The “DOs” of Wedding Day Scents
When it comes to the “dos” of wedding day fragrances, here are some things to keep in mind:
Trial Run: Always test the fragrance on your skin, not just on a paper strip. Your body chemistry can change a scent drastically. Give it a whirl a few weeks before the wedding to see how it performs, and also to make sure you’re not allergic or having any adverse reactions to it!
Mood Matching: Opt for a scent that aligns with your wedding’s vibe. Outdoor garden party? Think fresh florals or zesty citrus. Grand ballroom soiree? Rich amber or sultry musk might be the ticket.
Longevity Check: You’d want something that stays on you from the ceremony all the way through to the dance floor. Seek out Eau de Parfums or Parfums – they tend to have the most staying power and see how long they hold up during your trial run.
The “DON’Ts” of Wedding Day Scents
There are also some things you shouldn’t do when it comes to your wedding day fragrances. This includes:
Last-minute Spritzing: Don’t buy your fragrance the day before the wedding. You need time to ensure it’s “the one” and undergo some trial runs. If you haven’t selected a perfume or cologne the day before the wedding, just consider wearing your typical go to fragrance to play it safe.
Overwhelming Application: While it might be tempting to really lather on your chosen scent, don’t overdo it. You don’t want to overpower your partner or guests on the big day. Sometimes less is more.
Mixing and Matching: Avoid layering too many scented products (body lotion, deodorant, hair spray). The mixed aromas might not be the bouquet you had in mind and can overwhelm your senses on the big day.
Couple’s Cologne? Why Not!
If you and your partner want to create an aromatic bond, look for fragrances that have complementary notes. For instance, if one opts for a perfume with rose heart notes, the other could choose a cologne with a rosewood base. There are plenty of options out there and it’s just another way to connect on your big day.
