Bridal Tip: Sniff Out your Signature Scent

With all of the amazing wedding inspiration and resources out there these days, cookie cutter weddings are (I hope) a thing of the past. There are endless ways to personalize your big day - from ceremony readings to your menu to wedding favors to... your perfume? Heck yeah!

I always encourage my brides to embrace and enjoy pre-wedding primping (and to not stress about it!). As part of this ritual I recommend a shopping trip to procure your signature bridal scent. You don't want a generic wedding, so why settle for a generic scent? Designers like Jo Malone make it easy and really, really fun to create your very own scent to compliment your bridal style.

The key to creating your signature scent is to layer. Use a body cream in one scent, and a cologne in a different but complimentary scent. Yum!

For example, Jo Malone's delish new English Pear and Freesia - which I purchased last weekend at Duty Free (where all brides should buy as many of their primping supplies as possible, as duty free prices will save you some mayjah bank!) - is the perfect cologne layer for a fall wedding.

= Bridal Fabulousness!

But how do you know what to layer underneath? This decision is largely up to you, and your Jo Malone salesperson will help you find the combination that you love most. The Jo Malone website also has a whole section on fragrance combining, complete with a printable PDF guide!

I smell bridal goodness...

Cheers,
