Pulling together your perfect day, the focus is largely on the big-ticket items. There is often an overarching wedding planning spreadsheet or checklist that has you careering toward your big day, with the hope of leaving nothing to chance.
What you may not have given thought to are some final touches – those last dreamy details that will take your memories to the next level.
From sight, smell, touch and beyond – there are some sensory-driven decisions you can consider to ensure your memories of the day evoke the greatest of emotions. It’s all about looking and feeling the very best version of yourself.
Get your wedding planner or checklist out, pen at the ready, and get ready to take note as you read on for our tips on nailing your on-the-day details.
Pop the perfume
More than any other sense, smell is largely linked with memory. Spending some time selecting your on-the-day scent will ensure that reaching for the beautiful bottle at your anniversary or on special occasions, will bring your right back to the magical moment of saying “I do”.

Veil
Wearing a wedding veil is a time-honoured tradition that can take your bridal look to the next level. We’re spoilt for choice these days, and from length (tea, fingertip, cathedral, or other!), to fabric – lace-lined, embellished or sheer and simple, have some fun finessing your style by selecting the one that’s right for you.

Ring things
A special symbolic moment of your day could be exchanging rings throughout your wedding ceremony. Have you spared a thought for how or where these rings might be housed? Personalised rings boxes or velvet slip pouches can not only provide function, but also make for a cute keepsake and complete your on-the-day accessories line-up beautifully.

Man magic
When it comes to details, the gents can often be overlooked. But we’re putting our foot down on this and insisting accessories for your men are a must.
