We think about the tone and colours of our weddings but do you think about what you want to smell like on your wedding day? It may be a strange question to some but the aroma of what you decide to wear really makes a grand gesture to your guests and can play an overall mood to yourself as well.
Personally, I prefer to go with a natural fragrance because artificial ones are known to be terrible for the body system plus it is ever so common that many people are allergic. Essential Oils are huge these days so anything infused such as lavender or eucalyptus. Those are strong but calming scents to please.
Lavender
Lavender is not just for the sleepers. It is known for a more calming atmosphere. It gives off the feeling of comfort. It is instantly a refreshing scent. Before your wedding put on lavender essential oil on the bottom of your feet, back of your neck to have a more restful sleep.
