The Monday Mail ~ help Denise find fragrances for the flower girls

Posted by Robin on 14 September 2009 97 Comments

letter

The Monday Mail is back after a long summer vacation, and today we’re helping Denise. Denise has two great nieces (first cousins to each other) who will be flower girls in a wedding next March, and they need appropriate fragrances. It will be a large evening wedding with 350 guests, but Denise says it will be “more linen than silk”. The wedding will be held in the South — the weather could be hot, or it could be cool.

The young ladies are both 5 years old, and they’ll be wearing long dresses. They’ll have wreaths of flowers on their heads and will be carrying flower balls…

Jill is getting married in October, and she’d like to find the perfect perfume for her wedding. It must be something she has never worn before. Her wedding will be in Portmeirion village in Wales, and will have a 1920s/30s theme. She’ll be wearing a 1930s gold column dress, and her husband will be wearing either Ormonde Man or Knize Ten. Jill has great access to perfume stores, and is willing to spend up to $250.

Here is what we know about Jill:

Andrea is getting married in the UK next June. Like Rebecca, she's looking for her perfect wedding fragrance, something that will be special and always remind her of her wedding day. She says she's tried all the traditional wedding fragrances but none of them quite fit.

Andrea is in her 30s. She describes herself as shy on the whole, but she's bubbly and outgoing with people she already knows. Her style is classic and understated, although on lazy days she's in “jeans and Ugg boots”. She doesn't wear much jewelry. She says everyone expects her to be in a relatively plain fitted strapless wedding gown, but instead she's going for lace.

On the perfume front, Andrea likes creamy, powdery, soft scents, with floral notes and non-foody vanilla. Some of the scents she likes…
