Philbrick Pssst. Your wedding is going to have a distinct aroma. By choosing a signature scent, you\u2019ll be in control of what your guests are sniffing.  Former flight attendant Theresa Cangialosi first discovered aromatherapy overseas. \u201cI was introduced to essential oils in Europe,\u201d she recalls, \u201cespecially in Germany and the United Kingdom. There was nothing like that back here in the United States.\u201d She explored, experimented and so valued the products that she opened SoBotanical in Baltimore, Md., in 1987 to ensure the availability of aromatherapy products at home. In the past several years, Cangialosi has helped a growing number of couples create signature scents for their weddings. \u201cA wedding can be remembered for what it smells like, whether it\u2019s a beach or a special flower,\u201d she says. \u201cScent memory lasts quite awhile; it\u2019s a way to create a memory of the celebration; it puts a strong impact on the moment.\u201d Sounds appealing? Cangialosi offers these tips:Plan Ahead Creating a custom blend takes time. \u201cIt can\u2019t be done last minute or right on the spot,\u201d says Cangialosi. It\u2019s also best done in person rather than online or over the phone, so that it\u2019s possible for you to sniff samples. Determine Use How, when and where will it be used? \u201cIt doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be worn,\u201d she says. Alternate options include misting it in the air or adding it to soaps, candles or creams. Know Who If the intent is for the scent to be worn as a perfume, decide if it will be used solely by the couple or the entire wedding party. Personalize Incorporate your favorite scents into the custom blend. \u201cYou want to bring your personality to the particular scent,\u201d says Cangialosi. A professional perfumer or aromatherapist may know the chemistry of blending, but your opinion and preferences ensure personal results. Note Trends Whether you want to follow or buck the trend, be aware that soft floral aromas are the most popular wedding scents. \u201cJasmine, rose, vanilla and bergamot have a nice soft touch,\u201d says Cangialosi.
