2008 Wedding Trends - Provide Guests With A Scent-Sational Memory of Your Wedding

Your wedding is one of the most memorable life events you will experience. This is the single day that both partners will want to remember for their lifetime. Weddings in 2008 are all about branding and personalization - not only to make your event memorable to your guests but also to make every aspect of the wedding stand out in the couple's mind as well. One of the great ways to achieve this long lasting impression is by creating a signature scent for your wedding.

Wedding scents are uber trendy for weddings in 2008. When you think about the five senses: vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell - it's only logical - scent has been left out of weddings for years. To create the perfect mood for your wedding you'll want to appeal to your senses: Music appeals to your hearing, a soft glow to enhance the romantic vision, great food to interest the palette, textures of linens and invitations/programs to touch, and now, a signature scent to remind guests of your day.

Signature wedding scents do not necessarily mean creating a signature fragrance for your event. A mood enhancing scent can be accomplished in many different ways for your wedding. This can mean anything from creating an atmosphere with flowers, herbs, candles, using scent machines or even creating wedding day fragrance favors for your guests. You may want to select a calming scent for the ceremony, a citrus mix for the dance floor, and a soothing chocolate or hazelnut scent for the desert hall. But whatever you do, do not select strong perfume inspired fragrances - you want an ambient aroma your guests will enjoy; not something overpowering which will take away from your event. Scents can be inspired from nature, the season, a place or even food.

Brides in 2008 are taking advantage of the scent-memory link. They know that a particular scent will remind them and their guests of the wedding for a long time to come. Some couples are not only creating scents for the ceremony and reception atmosphere but are also creating a signature fragrance just for each other. When the bride and groom create and wear a scent no one else has, it not only bonds them but also creates a profound moment. And each time you or your guests smell your fragrances that you selected for your day - you will be gently reminded of the most beautiful day of your life.
