Wedding Day Diffuser Recommendation.

Does your DIL like these smells?

I’d ask your son what she uses around the house.

I personally find they give me migraines, so be careful if this isn’t her norm!

She is always using scented candles at home but the hotel doesn't allow them.

I’m afraid I don’t see the point of this. She is getting dressed for the Wedding, will presumably have had her make up done and probably be wearing perfume.Isn’t this an unnecessary detail?

Well I think it’s a lovely idea, my daughter would definitely appreciate it. Have you tried the White Company - I like the lime and bay, but for a wedding the Seychelles fragrance would be perfect. You can try them in store if you’re near one. I hope the wedding goes well!

Definitely have a look in The White Company or if you are feeling generous Jo Loves or Jo Malone have beautiful diffusers.

I love diffusers, I think they need a bit of space around them though, not sure about a bedroom. Initial use they can, give off heady fumes, and possibly make some people a bit headachy in that the scent is too strong for them.

Have tried many, firm favourites Jo Malones range, not cheap, The White Company, Neom and Skog all have some lovely fragrances.

Neom and Jo Malone both have lovely ones - but I'm not sure it's a great idea if you aren't aware what she would want on this special day.

In a hotel I think it implies "covering up" something not so nice.
It's not at all the same as home.

Personally, I would never interfere with any wedding arrangements, only do as directed!

Although my DIL is relaxed about most things, it was their day, not mine.

I think it’s a very thoughtful touch and if you know that the bride-to-be can tolerate particular scented candles then perhaps you could choose a diffuser of the same brand.

I’m afraid there are very few that I can tolerate and my sister-in-law once caused my worst ever asthma attack by lighting a scented candle. ?

I love diffusers also, but I wouldn’t do it, I don’t see the point agree with Mawbee

I don’t see the point either, most Hotel bedrooms are stuffy so they will probably have all the windows open anyway, add hair spray, make up, perfume and bouquets of flowers and you will have enough smells there already.

I agree oopsadaisy, enough scent in the air to bottle already. Lovely though.

I would check first, diffusers are a marmite subject, some love them, others hate them. I hate them, as others say they can cause migraine and in my case make me feel headachy and queasy.

Seriously?
I think it sounds a step too far, verging on interfering.

If it is a boutique hotel and presumably they chose it, surely all that sort of thing , decor, flowers etc will be in place

Crikey the cold water pourers are out tonight neverenoughsleep. You know your daughter in law to be better than anybody else does - if she likes scented candles she’s unlikely to have an issue with diffusers, you don’t need to get a plug in one, so the fragrance won’t be any stronger than a scented candle. Go for it I’d say.

Why not arrange for a huge net of balloons to be suspended from the ceiling too, to be released as she finishes dressing?

I think its a lovely idea too and agree with Casdon check first with son though as too the fragrance.

lisagran that was uncalled for

? not at all over the top.

Crikey, the OP didn't ask for opinions on whether it's a good idea or not.

The Neom fragrances are great, perhaps a calming one? I don't really like candles, but I have an unobtrusive diffuser in my bedroom, I love putting it on every now and again. It's very subtle. I bought it ages ago from JL, so sorry I can't help with the brand choice.

Jo Malone English pear and Freesia is a lovely scent

The bride may be accustomed to scented candles and happy with the notion of a diffuser but what about any attendants? For sure, it would spoil your nearly-DiL's special day if her chief bridesmaid and helper keeled over with a migraine or coughed all the way through the wedding.

There are people (like me) who find diffusers, plug ins and scented candles literally nauseating.
I would not be able to stay in the room.
It would be dreadful if you did this and spoiled the day for someone.

Scented candles, especially the more expensive ones, are usually made with natural wax and natural essential oils.

Diffusers are made with a range of chemicals. Just read the warnings on the label about not coming into contact with them, careful disposal and the list of what’s in there.

Not the same thing at all.

Nice thought but risky.
