Choosing the perfect fragrance for your wedding day is a personal decision that adds an invisible, yet powerful, layer to the celebration. The scent chosen can evoke emotions and create lasting memories, complementing the overall ambiance of the summer event. Studies have shown that one of the strongest associations with memory is scent, which is a great way to better encapsulate your special day. Carefully curating a fragrance that you will only wear on your wedding day will ensure the memory association is even more distinct. Then each time the fragrance is worn after, you will be transported back to the magical moments of the happiest day of your life. Brides and grooms often select fragrances that reflect their unique selves by complementing their personal style, qualities, and the moods they wish to convey—whether it’s sweet, floral, fresh, musky, or spicy. The scent becomes a time capsule, capturing the joy and love of the day.
Summer weddings call for light, airy fragrance that complements the ambiance of the season. Fragrances with hints of fruit, such as citrus, are perfect for the occasion. Notes of orange, lemon, or grapefruit provide a hint of energy and vibrance to a fragrance. Fragrances containing coconut are perfect for individuals who prefer a more subtle yet sweet and fresh scent. Amber is a sweet, yet musky scent that gives a warm and romantic delivery. Other trending scents to consider in your wedding day fragrance that bring a more summery, tropical vibe include hibiscus, ginger, amber, sandalwood, and jasmine.

Curating the perfect scent is an important decision. It can be overwhelming to test out scents in a department store, especially when all the countless testable scents seemingly start blending together. A great way to try out scents is a fragrance subscription. This consists of a different fragrance sample being sent to you every month, where you get the opportunity to really focus on testing out a scent for weeks. This is also a less overwhelming way for a bride or groom to compare a scent to previous samples.
Scentbird facilitates finding the perfect wedding day scent through a subscription. They carry quality, designer brands such as Versace, Gucci, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, and Micael Kors. Subscribers can choose from over 700 designer scents, and an 8mL sample will be delivered to their door to try out for the month. Plus, subscribers have the freedom to choose and queue as many scents as they want for upcoming months or can cancel anytime. They carry top designer fragrances that provide quality options, which brings you one step closer to finding one perfect for your summer wedding. Filling out their “Scent Profile” and “Scent Horoscope” quizzes will give you personalized suggestions to help narrow down fragrances based on your wedding, personal qualities, preferences, and more.
