Your wedding announcements have been sent to those you want to share in your special day, the flowers have been ordered, the menu prepared, the table favors are assembled, your wedding dress has come back from the seamstress and is now a perfect fit, and all that's left is the finishing touch, finding the right fragrance.

The right fragrance can make an already wonderful day, a spectacular day. You may be wondering how that is possible when the focus should be on the wedding itself not what the bride smells like. Do certain scents trigger memories from your past, your childhood? The smell of cinnamon might bring back the memory of your mother making hot apple pies on a cold winter day, or even the smell of chocolate can bring back memories of a warm cup of chocolate after playing outside in the snow. The same can be said for the bride's perfume. The scent you choose to wear the day of your wedding will forever be linked to your wedding day, bringing those wonderful memories to the surface every time you sprits on that particular scent.

When it comes to choosing the right fragrance to wear on your wedding day you should choose a fragrance that blends with your personality. If you have a bold, outgoing personality, you don't want to wear something mild because that isn't you. Just as if you are shy and quiet you don't want to wear something that is going to knock your socks off when you sprits it on. You also want to take into consideration the types of flowers you are carrying and have displayed throughout the church. Some flower scents do not complement each other so if you are carrying a bouquet that contains peonies, you may want to stay away from a fragrance that contains marigold notes. While apart these flowers are wonderful, together, not so much.

If your wedding is in the summer months, you may choose something with a fruity or soft floral notes, such as: vanilla, peach, tangerine, rose, lavender, or grapefruit. What you want to stay away from are the heavy hearty scents such as: sandalwood, musk, and peppery scents. These 3 scents are best suited for fall and winter weddings.

If you want to purchase a new scent specific to wearing for your wedding the best thing for you to do is go and try the scents out at a cosmetic counter. New seasonal fragrances are most often put out by the cosmetic companies in the spring and fall, so for your summer wedding the new fragrances are available in the early spring and for your winter wedding the new fragrances are available in the early fall. Cosmeticians are trained in perfume notes and will be able to help you choose the perfect scent for your perfect wedding day.

Another thing to keep in mind is to choose a scent that your future husband will like and remember. Some men are sensitive to women's perfume and you don't want to choose a fragrance that will give him hives, have him sneezing or give him memories of a foul smell on your wedding day. Great ways to work around this and find the scent that will work for both of you is to sprits on a fragrance and wear it for the day, if your fiancé compliments you, or says how yummy you smell, you know you have found a winner. It may take a few trips back to the cosmetic counter to find that perfect scent but it will be worth it in the end.

Scent and memories go hand-in-hand. And for your wedding day you deserve both of them to be perfect. Once you put the final sprits on before you head down the aisle to the man of your dreams you will know that day couldn't be any more perfect if you tried.
