What should your wedding smell like? Designers sometimes sell clients on setting the mood with scent. I remember a demonstration by a company that made diffusers giant enough to fill a sound stage with one of their pre-packaged concoctions: cotton candy for circus themed event, and – heaven help us- they even tried to recreate florals. The air at the premiere party of “The Last Samurai” was supposed to be tinged with a hint of cherry blossoms. Instead, guests kept asking “what’s that terrible smell?” The planner needed no coaxing to shut off the machine.
Long story short? Don’t let your details get so detailed they pull focus from the reason why everyone’s there. That’s to see you get married!
Live well, and love well.
