Wedding season is in full romantic swing! We had an exclusive chat with Sasha Lorder, founder of LORDS Fragrance House, about her tips for how to make the most of scent on your special day!
Why scent matters on your wedding day
Wedding scents have traditionally focused on the bride and groom’s personal fragrance, but you can extend the aromatic experience and create a lasting memory for everyone by scent-scaping throughout your wedding. Scent has such a powerful link to memory, so choosing a fragrance carefully will evoke the special moments of your special day. Setting the right vibe with a personal approach will create a unique olfactory experience tailored to the specific theme, style and overall ambience to ensure your wedding is truly unforgettable.
How to scent-scape your wedding venue
The location, venue and even seasonal nuances play crucial roles in determining the scent to perfectly enhance the day. Culturally and geographically, whether you’re getting married in Spain, Morocco, or the Isle of Wight, these factors can guide and influence your scent choices for distinct fragrance preferences. Couples should look at how they can encapsulate the essence of each space with their choice of aroma, so it resonates emotionally and evokes the special significance of that chosen place. This will ensure they capture long-lasting memories of the happy feelings associated with their wedding.
Scent touchpoints
Creating scent touchpoints with carefully curated fragrance in the form of candles, diffusers, essential oils and even scent sachets will enrich the whole experience! These will connect you to specific moods and emotions, and much like visual elements, such as floral arrangements, colour scheme and table settings, scent adds to the overall atmosphere.
Candles
Candles lit where guests arrive create a welcoming ambience, and they can add romance and an intimate glow throughout the whole venue by filling the air with their gentle aromas.
Tablescaping with subtly scented tapered candles adds a beautiful touch to the wedding meal, and a few drops of essential oil on each napkin will provide wafts of scent to complement the food.
Diffusers
Diffusers are a great way to fragrance the day if burning candles is not an option. And placing hand washes in your chosen scent around the wash basins in the toilets will boost the aroma where it’s needed! For a finishing touch, spritz a Room & Linen Spray to really lift the wedding scent vibe!
Extending the experience beyond the wedding day
But fragrance doesn’t have to be only a part of the actual wedding day. Extending the sensorial experience across other shared moments and right through to the honeymoon will ensure the whole occasion is lasting and memorable. Every time you catch a waft of that scent in the future, you’ll be transported back immediately.
And if you’ve ever dreamed of creating your own fragrance, LORDS Fragrance House can help bring that to life!
