Your First Home Together: Adding Scent to Your Wedding Registry
The registry builds your first home together. Adding your wedding scent means that home carries a trace of the day, every day.
A wedding registry is really a plan for your first home together: the plates you'll eat from, the linen you'll sleep in, the glasses you'll raise on anniversaries. Scent belongs on that list too, because it is what makes a home feel like yours.
Bringing the wedding home
If your wedding had a scent, keep it in your first home. Coming home to the scent of your wedding day, on an ordinary Tuesday, is a small and lasting luxury. It also means the scent stays part of your life, so it will bring back the day for years to come.
What to add to your registry
- A full-size reed diffuser for the living room in your wedding scent, such as Velours Rose, Vellum Amour or Thé Blanc.
- A 100 ml travel reed diffuser for the bedroom or bathroom.
- Refills, so the scent continues. Each Velour and Vellum reed diffuser lasts roughly 60 to 90 days, and a refill keeps the same vessel going.
- A scent machine for larger homes or open-plan spaces, with concentrate in your scent.
Scents for a first home
- A bright apartment: Grand Foyer or L'Eau de Verre. Fresh, clean and welcoming.
- A cosy townhouse: Vellum Amour or Santal Vellum. Warm and inviting.
- Somewhere calm: Thé Blanc. White tea and aloe for a home that feels like a retreat.
How guests can give it
If your registry doesn't allow outside items, add a note to your wedding website pointing guests to your chosen scent. A home scent is also a lovely gift for guests who prefer to give something personal rather than something from a list.
