We know the importance of wedding day getup for ladies everywhere. Whether you're a blushing bride, beautiful bridesmaid or even just attending an upcoming wedding, the little touches for your wedding day attire are all high priority.

You've picked out your up-do, you know what earrings will match your clutch bag and you've found the perfect make-up look online. Whilst you know how you're going to look on the big day, have you thought about a wedding perfume and how you will smell?

The right wedding perfume can complete your outfit, remaining consistent with the essence of a beautiful wedding day and communicating true love to all who you meet.

So if you have a big day that you're planning for, whether your own wedding or someone else's, be sure to factor in a great wedding-friendly fragrance.

We've compiled a list of the most stunning, awe-inspiring perfumes that evoke the magic of romance and passion. They've been selected based on a variety of factors such as their ingredients used, value for money, their longevity, what fragrance families they belong to and their suitability for time of day, night and season.

Great Perfume for a Summer Wedding

Summer Wedding Inspiration

CopyCat Fragrances - Senorita (Dupe of Aventus for Her - Creed)

Creed's Aventus for Her is known as a bold, delectable fruity sensation of a scent. Perfectly paired with daytime events, it makes a distinctive statement of confidence and individuality. It also evokes feelings of enchantment through its stunning assortment of notes from across the fragrance families.

The original Aventus for Her, whilst a scent of cult-like status, is also rather expensive. For brides-to-be who have a wedding day to pay for and anyone else attending who's had to fork out for their outfit, hair and maybe even make-up, Aventus for Her is not very budget-friendly.

Senorita from CopyCat Fragrances is a dupe of Aventus for Her, so smells just like it but costs exponentially less.

Senorita is ideal for someone who wants to pick up the refreshing notes of fruit including crisp green apple and luscious blackcurrant. There's also the element of fairytale romanticism thanks to the elegant floral notes. However, this isn't your run of the mill feminine fragrance, this has a whole lot of colourful personality.

It will allow you to convey the message of someone who has given away her heart to another. She feels deeply about them. Yet no matter how in love she is, she will never lose who she is as a person. Senorita is a strong, sensual lady. She is stunning, loving and determined.

This fragrance is eternally long-lasting, a couple of spritzes on the morning of the big day and you will still smell it by the time you're waving guests goodbye. Senorita is a superb value perfume, perfect for an exceptionally special day and one of the best wedding day perfumes.

CopyCat Fragrances - Fleur (Dupe of Oud Fleur - Tom Ford)

An important element to consider no matter the status of your wedding plans is what scent will walk you down the aisle. Whether your big day is looming or you're yet to book the wedding date, it's good to think about what you want from your wedding day scent sooner rather than later.

If you're looking for something that's slightly more flirtatious with a little sensuality than fairytale princess, you might think of something like Oud Fleur. Oud Fleur has the smallest touch of daintiness thanks to rose petals but its bold, playful side takes centre stage.

However, Oud Fleur is one of those iconic scents that will take up a healthy chunk of your wedding budget, so if you're scrimping on spends, a more affordable alternative with the same sensuous smell could be just what you need. That's where Fleur from CopyCat Fragrances comes in. Fleur is identical to Oud Fleur, made with similar ingredients, yet it doesn't cost a small fortune.

Fleur delivers an aroma that conveys passion, the bond between two people that are deeply in love. It's a real world version of true love, it's not communicating happily ever after but a deep, meaningful lifelong connection and the unbridled passion that comes with it.

The Perfect Bridal Scent With a Floral Fragrance

CopyCat Fragrances - Love W (Dupe of Love in White - Creed)

Wedding perfumes should emanate the message that you want to give out without you saying a word. They should last all day without needing a top-up and their base notes which last beyond other notes should smell good.

Longevity is particularly important if you're the bride as you might not have a chance to freshen up your scent because of taking vows and greeting your guests all day. Considering such a high octane, social day is in store, you really want something that you can just spray on yourself first thing in the morning and be confident that it's there with you throughout the whole thing.

Something similar to Love in White could be a great option if you like sweet, powdery scents. This perfume has a whole lot of citrus and fresh floral notes that will wow everyone you meet but it is a designer fragrance with a designer price tag and therefore not very budget-friendly.

If you want a cheaper version, you will get great value out of its dupe, Love W. This scent contains Magnolia, ambergris, vanilla and turkish rose which collaborate to deliver an awe-inspiring scent. One spritz to your wrists and we're sure Love W will enchant you as your chosen wedding perfume.

Love W is an eau de parfum with endless class and vibrant, long lasting notes. The perfect wedding scent with a classical, elegant smell. With so much importance on the quality and longevity of a wedding day perfume, Love W could be the one for you.
