Do you remember the perfume you wore as a bride?

Scent is the sense that is best associated with triggering memories. “When you first smell a new scent, you link it to an event, a person, a thing or even a moment” a recent Discovery Health article explained.

More and more, brides are selecting their wedding day fragrances with care. A recent bride, who was gifted a new bottle of perfume for Christmas, saved the first spritz for her wedding day. “I wanted to remember my wedding day each time I sprayed that perfume thereafter,” she said.

Brides, perfume may be another thing to add to your long to-do list; we promise the memories will be worth it. Bonus: a gorgeous bottle will look great in photographs.

What perfume, if any, did you wear on your wedding day?
