"How fair is thy love my
spouse! And the smells of thy ointments
and herbs of thy garments are sweeter than the smell of Lebanon."
(From the song of Solomon)
Fragrance, that essence of luxury and pleasure, is a very important
consideration on your wedding day.
Your choice of fragrance in a perfume is limited
only by your own personal taste. Whether it be musk, spice, floral,
woodsy, or a combination, every bride wants her own personality to
be reflected in her choice of scent.
But you also need to consider the type of ceremony, the kinds of
flowers you will have, and the time of year. For example, if you're carrying
gardenias, an uncomplimentary competition could be overwhelming to you and
to others. Don't be afraid to consult a perfume expert. They will be able to tell you
which perfumes will coordinate best with the flowers you have chosen.
It is not necessary, either, for you and your
attendants to wear the same fragrance. You should, however, consult
with them to avoid a possible clash.
Sometimes a bride will want to select a new,
different or popular fragrance for her wedding day. But don't wait
until the last minute. Purchase your fragrance well in advance, and
try it a few times to see how it "wears" on you.
Exitement, stress, change of routine, and
diet all affect the character of perfume and how it reacts to your
body chemistry. Even your old favorite could go sour or just disappear
under stress. One way to know what perfume will or will not work for
you is to have a pH test that measures body chemistry. This is a relatively
inexpensive test offered by certain perfumeries, quite often included
in a purchase. This way the bride, attendants and even the groom can
choose compatible fragrances.
Your perfect fragrance signature can create that aura of loveliness
that every bride desires and every groom envisions.
