    Hi Ladies!

      So many ladies always ask what to wear for a wedding perfume..so I am wondering...did you buy a new perfume? If so, what is it? If no, what are you wearing to smell fresh and pretty?

    PS-I wore Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier (love it!)

    Mrs. Sweet Pea you didn't answer your own question. Did you buy it new for the wedding? :)

    I am undecided about this. I may try to find a fragrance just for the wedding. I also like the idea of wearing the first perfume he ever bought me which was Fresh Sugar Blossom. It is one of my favorites and I still have a little teeny bit left. So, it might give me a reason to buy a new bottle. :)

    His favorite perfume for me is Beautiful. I hate Beautiful, but on very special occasions, I wear it, just for him. I might wear it for the wedding since he loves it so much, although it might just be might least favorite fragrance in the world.

    I bought Romance by Ralph Lauren specifically for our wedding.  I didn't wear it again until our first anniversary last weekend.  As soon as I walked out of the bedroom my husband commented that it was my wedding day perfume!  I was so touched that he remembered!  Then he let me know that the only reason he remembered is because it smells different than I do on a regular basis... haha oh well :-)

    The main reason I went with something different is because I have very distinct memories associated with my mother's "going out" perfume when I was a child.  She only wore it on special occasions like fancy parties or dates with my dad.  Of course, I would watch her get dressed and the smell of that perfume always lingered in the air.  I want to be able to pass those moments on to my kids some day.

    We'll both be wearing our 'everyday' scents - mine is D&G Light Blue, and I don't remember the name of his, but I love it. I want him to smell like HIM that day, not someone I don't know.

    This sounds really silly but I will probably wear Britney Spears Fantasy because I just love it so much. I think it smells like 'me' .. and I can't resist smelling like cotton candy and white chocolate! (Yes, I am a bit of a child sometimes :P)

    Fantasy smells so good! I'll probably buy Ralp Lauren Blue. I used to wear it when FI first started dating! Hmm I wonder if that would qualify as my sumthing blue? :)

    I never wear perfume--I like to smell like my (oatmeal and honey) soap. :) But I might re-invest in some body spray for the wedding day. My favorite a few years back was a VS spray in a Champagne & Strawberries scent... if they still carry it, I'll probably pick up a bottle.

    I looooove Philosophy - Falling in Love. Seriously...you'll want to eat up anyone wearing that. My boss wore it, and I was like ooooooh, what's that. So I had to get some.

    I don't know if I'll wear it to my wedding, but its a really romantic and sweet scent!

    Hmm... I think I'm going to be wearing eau de bug spray.  That's what we get for having an outdoor summer wedding in Maine (i.e. mosquito season).

    I use Philosophy's Amazing Grace body wash & lotion, and I always get complimented on the scent! I probably won't wear the perfume, because the scent of the wash/lotion is strong enough, but it's a really great smell.

    I absolutely do not do fresh and pretty hah (or floral-ie), I do smokey/leather/woody. So I'll be wearing one of my faves that day, and will let FI make the final choice, so it will be either:

    a. Olivier Durbano Black Tourmaline

    b. Juliette has a Gun Citizen Queen (or mabye Midnight Oud)

    c. Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque

    d. one of the Montale scents, if I can pin just one down that I like!

    My husband's favorite: Musc Nomade by Annick Goutal. It drives him wild!

    My everyday scent is Mandragore by Annick Goutal, a citrus.

    Delices de Cartier, which is my 'fancy going out' perfume. I'm wearing it for the wedding as it's the scent I always spray on the cards and letters I send him (since we're in a LDR). I was wearing it when he proposed, too.

    My 'everyday' perfumes are Lolita Lempicka and Pink Sugar, both great scents. But Delices seems right to me for the wedding.

    ANOTHER thing I haven't thought about! You bees sure know how to inform gals! I don't normally wear parfume...maybe just a light body spray or something. You'll be hugging TONS of people that day, and if they're anything like me, will have allergies that can be tipped off by too much parfume!

    I like spicy scents, some of my favorites are Bulgari Omnia, Gucci, Saso for going out; Vanilla Noir (Bath & Body Works) for dates, and more citrusy/fruit scents for work or everyday (Polo Sport Woman, Midnight Pomegranate (B&BW), Lolita Lempicka).

    For my wedding? Anti-bug lotion and nothing scented outdoors; when I get indoors I will put on my perfume of choice. But I have to wait and see what time of day it will be; no heavy spicy scents on a summer afternoon! Something with jasmine & sandalwood would be good (they remind me of India).

    I love the idea of going 'bridal perfume shopping'! I can't wait.

    I thought long & hard about this, and remember looking for the perfect scent for what seemed like ages... now I can't remember if I even remembered to put on perfume that day.  If I did, it was the first perfume he bought me - Shi by Alfred Sung

    I'm undecided if I'll have a special wedding day scent or if I'll stick with my signature perfume.

    I always wear Chanel Allure Sensuelle and I get a compliment from someone somewhere almost every week. I switched to YSL Parisienne for a lil' change (its lovely) this past weekend and my buddy from college, who I hadn't seen for a few years, immediately commented on how I didn't smell like ME anymore, hahaha. I love me some Chanel.
