The Best Wedding Perfume For Every Type Of Bride| Glamour UK

It's true what they say about scents being able to capture a moment in time, so when it comes to your wedding perfume, it's understandable to deliberate over a fragrance that feels perfect and personal to you and your wedding, so that every time it's spritzed, you're transported back to one of the best days of your life.

That said, it can feel like a tall order and a pretty daunting task. So instead of raking the aisles of the beauty halls to spritz every fragrance out there, we've whittled down an edit of beautiful scents to suit every type of bride. If you can identify the mood and feel you want for the day (whether it's romantic, beachy, minimal or glam) you're one step closer to landing on a scent that can sum it up.

Here's we've picked out a wedding perfume for every bride…

Romantic

Chanel Allure Eau de Parfum, from £71 for 35ml

Chanel fragrances are iconic and a safe bet for brides, but if you want a fragrance that's slightly more under the radar than No.5, Coco, Coco Mademoiselle and Chance, we'd recommend Allure, which like it's name suggests is beautifully captivating and romantic. It's clean, sheer, warm and sexy all at the same time. The notes marry so perfectly together that there's not one headliner that's easy to detect, instead mandarin, rose, vanilla, peony, vetiver and cedar combine to leave a dreamy trail.
