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

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.

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

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.

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

Oopsadaisy1 Sat 21-Aug-21 21:28:00

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

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. ?

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.

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.

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.

GrannyGravy13 Sat 21-Aug-21 20:35:29

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

Casdon Sat 21-Aug-21 19:54:40

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!

MawBe Sat 21-Aug-21 19:49:12

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?

neverenoughsleep Sat 21-Aug-21 19:18:55

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

Summerlove Sat 21-Aug-21 19:04:56

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! smile

My DS and his GF are getting married in a few weeks in a boutique hotel. I thought it might be a nice idea to arrange for a diffuser to be put in the room where my soon to be DIL will be getting dressed for the ceremony. There are so many to choose from I am looking for recommendations. TIA
