A wedding calls for a lot of preparations―dresses, rings, bouquet, decorations, caterers, guests ... the list is endless! In the midst of these endless tasks, we tend to forget about what we believe, happens to be an essential component of a wedding attire―a perfume! You might look like a tomboy otherwise, or perhaps you've never been so much into fragrances, but a day as special as your wedding, calls for inducing some magical scent in the air, that marks for your wedding day. What we love about perfumes is the enchanting aura they create, not only around the person wearing it, but also in the overall atmosphere. We think the best compliment one can ever receive from anyone is about how enthralling their perfume is. A perfume becomes a part of one's personality; haven't you noticed how we tend to associate them with a particular person's individual scent? Different occasions call for different scents, especially weddings. While you want your perfume to be strong enough to attract the due share of attention, you don't want it to be extremely overpowering. Lost in the midst of all the options, how will you know which is the scent for you, on the most special day of your life? Fret not, the following section has all the essential tips to help you out. To begin with, never keep this task for the last minute, especially if you wish to try out a new scent while beginning this new chapter of life. We know it is difficult to manage time when you have to take care of so many wedding preparations simultaneously, but try to spare a maximum of two and a minimum of one day in hand, for this purpose. You not only need time to select between the different options, but also evaluate the different facets on which this decision would depend. There is no harm in wearing your signature scent (if you have any) for your wedding day. Most people tend to keep it the traditional way, meaning, they go for the classic scents that were worn by their mom/dad, or perhaps the generation before that! On the other hand, there are some who would want to discover this exceptional scent that exclusively associates with this special day. In the words of Kate Lord Brown, "Perfume is the key to our memories." The new scent you choose for your wedding day, even when applied after 5 years of marriage, is capable to recreate the same vision in your mind, of how magical and special you felt. A good suggestion would be this: Begin wearing this special scent from your wedding day throughout the honeymoon, or perhaps for a few months after that. Then switch. To revive the passion and love in your marriage, wear it exclusively for romantic occasions to make both you and your partner sense the passion you had when you were a newly-wed couple. The wedding season plays a crucial role in selecting the type of fragrance one should go for. For summers, floral-y, fruity, and citrus-y fragrances would be ideal to blend with the sunny environment, and make you feel light and fresh. Spring weddings call for more greens, and of course, mixed floral fragrances, while a winter wedding should have something more musky or sultry, but not overpowering. While our parents may have married in the traditional way, nowadays, couples are not afraid to experiment with amazing, even crazy, out-of-the-box wedding themes. Be it underwater weddings, or getting married in a hot air balloon, think of it, and there is someone who has been there and done that! The theme of the wedding includes the venue, décor, bouquet. That brings forth an important point―if you're carrying a bridal bouquet with real flowers, make sure that the perfume goes well with it. The last thing we want to do is to buy the same perfume, available for both men and women, or perhaps go for a unisex perfume. As true perfume lovers, we know that every individual has a unique preference. You can't expect a floral-scent lover to wear a musky scent just because it is her partner's preference. Like you two complement one another, your fragrances should complement each other, as well. When two completely different fragrances are in the same horizon, they can either be alluring or repelling. Your choice of perfume would silently convey a lot about your personality. One huge mistake that people make, is to go for fragrances that are popular, but ask yourself, do you feel like yourself in it? Spending so much of money on expensive brands is worthless if it doesn't complement your skin, taste, and personality. A shy bride wearing a musky scent wouldn't be a good pairing. If your past perfumes have had similar ingredients―rose, cherry blossom, sandalwood, etc.―stick to these ingredients to be on the safer side. Look for a fragrance that enhances your scent, and not overpowers it. To give exact names of perfumes that will surely last all throughout the day, is a tricky game indeed! We have had varied results. While a fragrance did stay long enough, till the evening, on one person, we could hardly smell it on another after a few hours elapsed. So, yes, different fragrances would respond differently on different individuals. Nonetheless, there are ways through which you can make the perfume last all day on you. These are mentioned as follows. You may come across many fragrances throughout your lifetime, but there are some you never forget―mum/dad's scent, your first scent, and your wedding scent. The bottom line is: Choose a scent that makes you feel more relaxed, confident, sexy, and the ruler of the world! Disclaimer: Different fragrances have varied effects on different individuals. You must try the scent before purchasing it, to see how it blends with your skin and olfactory senses.
