    My two great weaknesses: high thread count sheets and perfume! I am not getting married for awhile but I was wondering do you bees have favorite perfumes or a particular fragrance you are planning to wear on your wedding days? I am wearing Island by Michael Kors a lot lately but I always love love J'adore and Romance by Ralph Lauren. Does anyone wear Princess by Vera Wang?

    I wear this every day so I'll probably wear it on the wedding day too!

    I love Marc Jacobs (very sophisticated, beautiful gardenia based scent) and Angel by Thierry Mugler (sweet, gourmand, delicious scent).  I'm also a huge fan of Bond No. 9's Chinatown and Nuit de Noho-- I wish those two weren't so $$$!

    Good luck finding a perfume you love-- I'm excited to find one too.

    My favorite is Love and White by Creed. It's light and beautiful and just screams wedding...I'm already saving for it b/c it's not the cheapest, but it is OH SO GOOD!

    I wear "Sugar" from Fresh all the time.  Mr. Onion LOVES it and I wouldn't have considered wearing anything else on our wedding day.  I'm a one scent kinda girl though.

    enmoore66    08/23/2008   live in San Diego; vineyard wedding in Sonoma

    Princess by Vera Wang has been my everyday perfume (until I finished the last drop a few days ago).  I am not wearing it at my wedding, but I also haven't chosen which one I will wear.  Princess is light, fades quickly (though everything fades quickly on me; so test it on yourself), and just doesn't have that *special something* to it that I want.  It isn't sophisticated enough.  I obviously don't describe perfumes for a living because I am horrible at it!!  - My sister went to a department store and got me A LOT of samples to try.  I also try to ask for lotion samples when possible because I'll be wearing both on my wedding day to make it last.  Hope this helps :)

    I wear Romance and wore it on our wedding day, too, as it's such a romantic and pretty floral fragrance.  I did, however, consider getting Vera Wang's Sheer Veil for my wedding day.  Also beautiful, and appropriately named!

    I normally wear Light Blue by D&G and may wear it on my wedding day as my "something blue".  My MOH bought me Princess by Vera Wang for Christmas for my wedding day.  I haven't officially tried it yet so I guess I haven't really decided on my wedding day scent yet.

    misschickie    Feb or March 2009--he's planning it so I don't know!   Boston, MA

    Right now its a toss up between Inner Grace from Philosophy and Coco from Chanel.  Coco is my all time favorite scent but it's heavy and we are having an outdoor summer wedding.  Inner Grace is a similar scent but much lighter--the only problem is it doesn't last as long.

    I love Bvlgari Omnia, "a light, modern, oriental scent with notes of mandarin, saffron, masala tea and white chocolate."  It is all I wear.  Smells like something citrus and spicy and good to eat.

    After a marathon sample session at Sephora (they'll decant little sample spray bottles for you to take home and try so you don't overwhelm yourself!), I'm opting to go with the classic Vera Wang fragrance.

     Very beautiful, classic romantic scent, but it can be a bit overwhelming at times. But I wanted a somewhat stronger scent that probably wouldn't disappear for a while, to keep reminding me of our day years afterwards, in a bottle that would look lovely in accent element shots.

    Just to let all of you know who were interested in wearing Ralph Lauren Romance on your wedding day, I just got an email from Sephora and one of the items on sale for Valentines Day is a Romance Gift set. The deal is online-only and limited edition.

    Set includes a 3.4 oz Eau De Parfum Spray, 2.5 oz Senuous Body Moisturizer, and a 2.5 oz Sensuous Bath & Shower Gel in a signature gift box.  All for 69.50.

    Enter "GLAMBAG" in the offers field at checkout and you'll get a metallic clutch full of samples.

    I was in Sephora the other day waiting to check out and I picked up Falling In Love by Philosophy and fell in love right there. It's a perfect mixture of light and sweet and obviously the name said it all. It's perfect for my wedding day and I can't wait to wear it!!!!

    One of my MOHs gave me the coolest Christmas gift for a perfume-obsessed gal--Sephora sells a Sampler kit, with 10 different scents to try (small vials) and a gift certificate that you can redeem for a full size bottle of your favorite! I've been having a blast trying them all out to find something for the big day.

    Personally, I love Princess, which is in the kit. It's a fun scent. Another great one from there that I'd never thought of was Stella by Stella McCartney. It's heavy (which is fine for my late fall wedding), floral, powerful (not a perfume description, but oh well!) and it lasts long, too.

     They also sell the Sampler for guys--trying to convince FI to try it out too.

    I love Beauty by Kate Spade, it is my everyday spring/summer fragrance. I probably won't wear it on my wedding day, but it would be great for someone else, especially if you plan to have a lot of lillies in the bouquet and elsewhere. It doesn't have much staying power, make sure to reapply.

    I also wear Ralph Lauren's Romance and I love it so I'll probably wear that on the BIG day.  He seems to love it and it is a very romantic scent.

    I love perfume too so this was a big decision for me too.   I have a post on my blog with some of the ones I was thinking of, if you have time check it out.   I ended up wearing was a gift my husband had brought back from paris for me, chanelle mademoiselle.  So not only do I love it, but it has sentimental value too, and I know he likes it

    I'm not getting married anytime soon...but an old boyfriend mentioned once that Kate Spade beauty reminds him of me...

     Kate Spade beauty is something I usually wear everyday. I love jasmine and it's also got hints of floral in it...not too strong either so that it's overwhelming.

    Part of me wanted a new special perfume for our big day, but the first gift my fiance ever bought me was the original Vera Wang perfume and he still loves it on me, so I will wear that.  I got him Vera Wang for Men to complement mine for the wedding.

    Unconditional Love by Philosphy is a beautifully light scent and would be perfect as a wedding day fragrance.  You may also find the following guide helpful for choosing your wedding day fragrance:  <a href="http://thingsfestive.blogspot.com/2009/05/choosing-your-wedding-day-fragrance.html" target = "_blank" rel="nofollow">Choosing Your Wedding Day Fragrance</a>

    Yes, I wear Princess by Vera Wang. I love it! Im either going to be wearing that for my wedding or Nina by Nina Ricci or Marc Jacobs Daisy (In the Air). I will most likely be wearing Daisy though.

    I opened up a jar of strongly scented lotion I bought a long time ago...before I met my fiance. I had bought it for a special trip with a past boy, and the smell took me right back to that place.  I want that for my wedding.  So I want to pick a fragrance that has been and will be around for a long time, so I can put it on and transport myself back :) i'm thinking of trying the chanel scents...the classic ones.  Only problem, I don't wear perfume and prefer oils or lotions. I'm hoping they have lotions. i'll be taking a trip to the store this weekend.

    I used Vera Wang's Princess perfume for about 2 years. I loved it and got so many compliments on it. I ended up giving it to my grandma because she loved it so much and I had just bought the Bombshell by victoria secret (it's amazing!) and I get loads of compliments on it. I love Ralph Lauren by the way! :)

    I'll be wearing douceur nature vanille. It's a cheap as chips perfume (10 Euros for 50ml), but it's the only perfume I've ever worn where people stop me in the street to ask me what it is (I now carry the bottle around with me to show to them - it's easier).  The scent is Vanilla - plain and simple and it is by far my favourite scent ever.  I have no skin irritation when I wear it, and it doesnm't make FH sneeze! lol

    FH went crazy when he first smelt it, and then my bottle finished and I couldn't find it anywhere for 2 years - I was gutted! Anyway the other week he came rushing into the house all excited because he'd found someone who sold it and bought the 6 bottles so that I have enough for ever.

    I wore Romance on my wedding day.  It was my 'something new'.  Whenever I wear it, it reminds me of my wedding day.

    Never thought of wearing perfume... Not that I stink though! Sniff...Innocent

    I usually just wear deoderant and a lotion of some type of food scent on my skin. I know a lot of people who are allergic to perfumes, so food scents are okay to these people. Vanilla, chocolate, strawberries and cream.... And I buy all my soaps, shampoos and conditioners food scented too!
