No outfit is complete without a spritz or two of whatever my signature scent is at the time (confession: I have way too many to pick just one). On your wedding day, that final spritz of sweet elixir is like a metaphorical tap from a magic wand. It transforms you from ‘average pumpkin’ to ‘gilded carriage’ just moments before you glide down the aisle to meet your soulmate. As your resident wedding day fairy godmother, I feel obligated to provide you with an exhaustive list of the all-time best wedding day fragrances. Let’s begin!
5 Best Feminine Wedding Scents:
1. Tom Ford Black Orchid:
Bold and seductive, Tom Ford Black Orchid is a modern fragrance that captivates the senses with its rich and exotic blend of black truffle,
lively ylang-ylang, and black orchid. Hints of zesty bergamot, bitter orange, rum-infused black plum, woody patchouli, and velvety vanilla complete this Tom Ford best-seller. This exceptional fragrance blend is sure to leave a lasting wedding scent memory.
2. Yves Saint Laurent Libre:
Inspired by the freedom of modern femininity, Yves Saint Laurent Libre is a bold and sensual fragrance that exudes confidence and elegance. With notes of lavender, Moroccan orange blossom, and musk, this fragrance is perfect for those who want to feel empowered on their wedding day.
“A celebration of freedom, this daring, yet distinctly floral and feminine perfume is for those who do what they want and dare to be exactly who they are. Breaking boundaries and paving their own way… inspired by the bold and the free.”

3. Gucci Bloom:
Gucci pioneered the use of the Rangoon Creeper flower in perfumery when they released Gucci Bloom Eau de Parfum in 2017. This beautiful blend delivers a fresh and floral fragrance that celebrates the spirit of youth and femininity. With notes of tuberose, jasmine, and Rangoon creeper, this radiant and romantic fragrance is perfect for your garden-inspired wedding day.
5. Mon Guerlain:
Mon Guerlain, a timeless scent from the house of Guerlain, belongs to the oriental fragrance family. Its sophisticated blend of sweet vanilla, aromatic lavender, and warm sandalwood creates a romantic and elegant aura. My beautiful client Poornika wore this exquisite scent on her December wedding day and the vibes were immaculate.
Wedding planning can be stressful and difficult, but hiring Lindsey Ford as our photographer was the best decision we made. I am convinced that she is a goddess or a fairy godmother because I don’t know how someone can be as talented, kind, and caring as her … The photos she took of us on the day of our intimate wedding are INSANE. They are heart-stopping, magical, dreamy, romantic, and genuine – everything we wanted in our wedding photos and more.

4. Tom Ford Soleil Blanc:
By no means the last Tom Ford pick on this wedding day fragrance list, Soleil Blanc, would, in my humble opinion, make the perfect beach wedding scent. Similar to Black Orchid, Soleil Blanc also features notes of ylang-ylang but combines fresh citrus and fruits for a bright, crisp feel. Top reviewers describe the scent as “being on a tropical island among exotic flowers with the cool ocean breeze blowing up against you.” Couldn’t have said it better myself.
