Last weekend two of my best friends got married, and I had the pleasure of helping them pick out their wedding perfumes.

Katy wore Arquiste Flor y Canto, a lovely white floral that is at once heady and airy. The bouquet of plumeria, magnolia, and tuberose sits atop a soft, slightly sweet, resinous base of copal incense—pretty with a subtle air of ceremony, perfectly suited for this elegant, joyful, gorgeous bride on her wedding day. Connor wore Arquiste ÉL, a bold, spicy fougère with an earthy richness and a bit of an animalic-musky edge—perfect for this handsome groom who tore up the dance floor at the reception.

We knew their scents would need to stay pleasant in the heat (their wedding day was 110 degrees F!), so we were mindful of that when selecting their perfumes. These two fragrances were perfect, and will bring the newlyweds scent memories of their wedding day for years to come. Congratulations to Connor and Katy!
