Scent has the power to evoke strong memories, making it all the more important to carefully choose a perfume to wear on your wedding day. Chances are, whenever you catch a whiff of the fragrance thereafter, you'll be brought back to your perfect big day and all the celebratory moments you shared with your spouse, your family, and your friends.
