Fragrant Bouquets

A wedding is a feast for the eyes, music to the ears and, considering the consumption of craft cocktails, gourmet meals and delectable cakes, for the palate, too. But don't underestimate the sense of smell on your wedding day. Did you know that olfactory bulb (the section of the brain that is responsible for smelling) is part of your brain's limbic system, an area that is responsible for associating memories and feelings.  Because of this, the brain can forge a link between certain smells and a memory. That being said, doesn't it fit to channel your wedding day emotion into a new fragrance? Then, during your post-wedding bliss, you’ll be transported back to your wedding day with a simple sniff. I've rounded up a collection of wedding-worthy fragrances inspired by bouquets to help you jump-start your "I-do" fragrance hunt. Happy sampling!
