Masters of nail polish, OPI have launched a new collection for brides- Fairytale Bride

Including four shades, the collection (part of the OPI Soft Shades collection) has the quirky names OPI is famous for- I Pink I Love You, Otherwise Engaged, Isn’t It Romantic and  At FIrst Sight.

The colours are pretty enough to be visible enough on your wedding day but neutral enough to not be overpowering.

With a wedding being such a sensory experience, a wedding day fragrance is something brides can take very seriously- the perfume you wear on your wedding day can remind you of it for years to come!

Peony Melbourne Boutique Perfumery

Last week I stumbled across Peony Melbourne. Peony Melbourne is a boutique perfumery which stocks a large range of exquisite Australian, French and other international perfumes.

Peony Melbourne offers a special consulting service just for brides. Held in the Peony Melbourne store, brides work with a consultant and Peony Melbourne’s online database of fragrances (using the Michael Edwards fragrances of the world database which lists all perfumes currently available).

By understanding what scent the bride wears regularly and what she would like on her wedding day, The consultant will work with you to come up with a selection of fragrances for you to sample and experience over a week.  Once you have selected your wedding day fragrance, Peony Melbourne can help you choose a complementary fragrance for the Groom (a wedding day surprise perhaps?)

Peony Melbourne can also help you with the fragrance of your wedding venue. They can help you choose the right candles and accessories so that the mood you’d love is created by smell.

For true perfume lovers, Peony Melbourne holds regular perfume workshops at the boutique Lyall Hotel in South Yarra. Each workshop allows you to explore the science behind perfumes and learn about what makes a perfume evoke your senses!

Peony Melbourne is located at 107 Auburn Road, Hawthorn. You can reach them via phone on 03 9882 0662 or visit their website.

Isn’t this a stunning bride? Kari is pictured here with her beautiful red hair and a blush pink flower on her wedding day (more here). I love it! Have a wonderful Easter break!
