In the ever-evolving world of wedding trends and new ideas, couples are increasingly seeking unique and meaningful ways to personalize their special day. One emerging trend that has captured the hearts (and noses) of many is the idea of selecting a signature fragrance specifically for your wedding day. Each time you or your partner wear the fragrance, it will remind you of the moment you looked into each other’s eyes and repeated the words, “I DO.”
Scent has a profound ability to evoke memories and emotions. We all have a smell that automatically triggers a childhood memory or a taste that just feels like home. So why not purposefully create a memory pathway back to the unforgettable day you became newlyweds? The Dillard’s fragrance specialists encourage couples to find a unique scent for their wedding day; couples can create an aromatic time capsule that will forever remind them of their vows, the celebration, and the love they shared on that day.
PRO TIP:
Consider your wedding location. A garden wedding might call for a different scent than a ceremony in a rustic barn or a formal ballroom.
Selecting a wedding day fragrance involves more than just picking a pleasant perfume, it is a unique way to express your love story. In order to select the perfect scent, couples find it is helpful to visit a professional perfumer, like Dillard’s, who has extensive knowledge, large selection and a keen nose! Dillard’s offers an array of perfumes and colognes at every price point. Visiting with a professional allows you to hand select a fragrance that perfectly captures your personality and the essence of your relationship. Whether it’s a blend of floral and woody notes or a mix of citrus and musk, each bottle holds the potential to be your specific blend of happily ever after.
PRO TIP:
The time of year and season can influence your fragrance choice. Light, citrusy scents work well for summer weddings, while warmer, spicier notes are perfect for winter celebrations.
For couples who want to ensure their fragrances complement each other, pairing scents can be a delightful part of the planning process. Dillard’s offers many his-and-hers collections designed to work in harmony with each other. This can be a fun and intimate experience for couples as they explore different scent profiles together, ensuring that their fragrances blend seamlessly when they walk down the aisle. While others may opt for a single scent, there are plenty of unisex fragrances available to choose from as well.
PRO TIP:
Consider the types of scents you and your partner are naturally drawn to. Do you prefer fresh, floral, woody, or spicy notes? Let the professionals help narrow the field. They will be able to match you to your absolute perfect signature fragrance.
A thoughtful extension of this trend is gifting the fragrance to the bridal party. Providing your signature scent as a thank you memento for bridesmaids and groomsmen ensures that everyone’s aromas harmonize beautifully adding to the overall ambiance of the wedding as they walk down the aisle.
Incorporating a signature scent into your wedding day is a beautiful way to make the occasion truly unforgettable. Imagine, on your 50th anniversary, dancing together and being transported back in time by the evocative power of your unique fragrance. We hope this idea inspires you to add an aromatic layer to your celebration, creating lasting memories that you can revisit spritz after spritz.
XOXO, MET WED
