Scent is a powerful way to preserve a memory. When it comes to weddings, a thoughtfully chosen his-and-hers scent can turn your day into an unforgettable sensory experience. Whether you're crafting personal perfumes, customizing wax melts, or curating candles for reception tables, building wedding day scents is a creative, meaningful way to punctuate your story as a couple.
At Nature’s Garden, we’re here to help you explore how to create your signature wedding scent using premium fragrance oils, and how to pair wedding scents for bride and groom that complement each other beautifully.
Why Choose a Signature Wedding Scent?
A signature wedding scent gives your celebration a personalized touch. It can be worn by each partner on the day, used in candles placed at the ceremony or reception (always in candle-safe containers), or blended into handmade favors like solid perfume or linen sprays.
After the big day, scent memory continues to work its magic. Every time you light that same candle or spritz your custom fragrance, it brings you back to the way you felt walking down the aisle.
How to Choose His and Hers Wedding Scents
Not sure where to begin when it comes to his and hers wedding scents? Start by thinking about each person’s scent preferences. Consider whether you gravitate toward floral notes, earthy bases, or something crisp and clean. A good match doesn’t mean identical, it means complementary.
