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.

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.
