We all know about the magic of essential oils and their ability to affect our moods, but exactly how does one harness that aromatic power on an occasion as massive as a wedding? WGA takes a look at some of the most popular essential oils in Asia, and tells you how to make your big day look as good as it smells…
RoseWhy we love it: Here’s one of the strongest aphrodisiacs. Who hasn’t heard the story of how Cleopatra carpeted her room with rose petals to boost her seduction of Mark Antony?
How to have it: Besides filling your bouquet and flower girls’ baskets, why not surprise your guests with rose sugar treats?
JasmineWhy we love it: They’re so pure and delicate – and soo easy to obtain. It also blends well with most other fragrances ^_^
How to have it: Jasmine candles are lovely, and I totally heart the idea of floating them in water. They also look very sweet embroidered on dresses or accessories.
NeroliWhy we love it: Neroli is super refreshing and absolutely perfect for Asian weddings, which are always so full of fun and energy!
How to have it: With pride! Don’t be afraid to use colours that stand out. And do give your guests a sweet-smelling something to remember your special day by…
Ylang YlangWhy we love it: In spite of how unusual this exotic blossom may look, Ylang Ylang is calming yet truly romantic.
How to have it: The flowers make great centerpieces and their scent is strong enough without artificial aid. Try to match that vibrant shade of yellow on yourself if you dare :)
SandalwoodWhy we love it: A most distinctive fragrance. Bet you didn’t know sandalwood actually has the power to transform your desires!
How to have it: Sandalwood fans are known for both their beauty of form and function. You could also have sandalwood sachets as wedding favours.
