Scent-erpieces Are All the Rage
SCENTS are powerful – a fragrance can bring back vivid memories instantaneously. Think of your first memory in your mind when you smell freshly cut grass or a newly baked loaf of bread. So what better way to help place your special day in your family and friends’ memories for a long, long time than bring the power of you favorite fragrance to your wedding?
Centerpieces are a wonderful part of a wedding’s ceremony and traditions, bringing beautiful floral arrangements or interesting displays as a focus all point on tables for your guests to enjoy.
But today we can go one steep further – rather than just relying upon pleasing one sense – a lovely vision – we can now help our guests enjoy the event by using two senses at the same time.
By bringing scent to your table decorations, or in the wedding ceremony itself, you can create a unique experience that will be instantly and forever brought to mind whenever you smell that fragrance again throughout your life.
And choosing what fragrance you wan to mark your marriage is a fun activity in of itself – like tasting the cake samples and choosing the floral arrangements, the scents you choose can be literally mixed to be unique for your special day. Perhaps the ideal activity to do as part of a bridal shower, or a special day out with your bridesmaids and matron of honor?
If your favorite flower is a rose, imagine your guests – and you of course – immediately thinking of your celebration of love every time they smell a rose.
It is a close as we can get to time travel – a slight hint of the fragrance on the breeze and you are back to that wonderful day surrounded by your family’s love and your friends’ best wishes for your future. And there are lots of ways you can bring your scent of success to your wedding – with candles and oil infusers being ideal.
Candles are a natural item at endings – we have used them since time immemorial to provide light and ambience, and of course the symbolism of a flame is used around the world. But today we can add fragrances to our candles to take the feelings evoked by candlelight to a whole new level of experience.
And if candles are not right for your centerpieces – bear in mind many reception venues may well have a ban on open flames – you can still take advantage of creation your perfect fragrance to fill the room by using oil infusers.
Rapidly growing in popularity, these offer a safe option to dissipate the fragrance of your choice around the venue, and have the advantage of being infinitely reusable – they could even be the wedding favorite allowing guests to take the scent of the day home with them to remember the event.
