As your wedding day draws closer there are so many little details to think about, especially when it comes to packing your wedding day bag. Of course you’ve thought about the obvious details such as your shoes, veil, and jewelry, but there’s one detail that we often see brides overlooking until the last minute. And that is their wedding day perfume. Of course you will have the photographs to beautifully document the day, but there’s something unique to the way a scent can fully capture a moment and serve as memory trigger for emotions such as how you felt walking down the aisle.

This is an excellent opportunity to add something new to your collection and certainly one that is worthy of a little splurging. We love the idea of choosing one that is special to your wedding day and then saving it for anniversaries and fancy parties throughout your marriage. If you have a scent you already love, you may choose to feel and smell exactly the way you do in everyday life. There’s a perfect choice for every bride, but here are five of our absolute favorites:

• Pink Princess – Vera Wang
• Daisy – Marc Jacobs
• Something Blue – Oscar de la Renta
• J’Adore – Dior
• Coco Mademoiselle – Chanel

What scent are you choosing for your wedding day? We would love for you to tell us in the comments!
