It's the most important day of your life - you need the perfect perfume. The dress is the most beautiful one you could find - and you looked at dozens. The cake has spectacular flavor and frosting - and you tasted a year's worth of butter creams. The flowers are the ones you have loved since he brought you a bouquet of them - at a baseball game. Every detail of your wedding day has been carefully chosen and meticulously carried out. Don't forget to give the same level of thought to the perfume you will wear as you walk down the aisle to your beloved.

If you love fragrances, you probably have a favorite - or maybe several. You'll never go wrong wearing your favorite perfume on your special day.

For many brides, however, the wedding day is time to choose a special fragrance - a perfume that will become a new favorite after these once-in-a lifetime memories are attached to it. Choosing that perfume takes a little legwork, so start your search before the last minute. One way to choose the perfect perfume is to match the scent to the type of hairstyle you have chosen for the big day.

 

Perfumes are classified into families. Each family has specific characteristics and these can be matched up to your hairstyle. The five families of perfume are: fruity, floral, oriental, green, and woody.

By understanding the characteristics of the different families, you can choose a fragrance that evokes the subtleties of the theme of your day.

" Floral: This family includes the timeless, classic scents of flowers. These perfumes can be a single type of flower or a combination of various floral scents. A floral scent is complementary to a classic hairstyle like an elegant French twist or an updo of beautiful cascading curls.
" Fruity: These fragrances are made of fruit scents, most often citrus fruits. These perfumes are fun and flirty and work well with a casual updo with lots of loose tendrils flowing freely or perhaps a trendy short cut that has lots of movement, imitating the carefree style of the perfume.

 

" Oriental: The oriental family of perfumes is dramatic and intense, well suited to a smooth finished hairstyle such as a French Roll or a low riding bun. Oriental perfumes include deep musky scents, which are evocative and sensuous - a wonderful choice for an elegant evening wedding with an air or sophistication.
" Woody: For brides who prefer a simple natural scent, the woody family of fragrances is the natural choice. A popular woody scent is sandalwood. This unique fragrance is the perfect complement to a simple hairstyle that hangs straight down the back. Braids wound into a crown of understated perfection are another hairstyle option that works well with these outdoorsy perfumes.
" Green: This family of perfumes is the green scents. These are light, airy ocean scented perfumes. These perfumes are also perfectly suited to simple, uncomplicated hairstyles such as a short bob or a swept-up updo of a loose ponytail pulled into the trendy "messy" looks that are simple easy updos with no fuss.

 

Take the time to choose a special perfume for your wedding day. Whether it's your signature scent or a completely new perfume suited to your chosen hairstyle you add the final touch of romance to your perfect wedding with the perfectly chosen perfume.
