Wedding Day Diffuser Recommendation.

(43 Posts)

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

Have a scented flower arrangement placed in the room.

Great idea! A [url=https://scentaflora.com/scent-diffusers/]scent diffuser[/url] in the bridal room adds a calm and lovely touch. Try Scenta Flora, they have beautiful diffusers and amazing scents. My wife got one there and we loved it!

Choose something soft like lavender or white tea. It’ll make the room feel extra special on the big day.

Obviously, if you do go the sandwiches route, ask them to only do one-bite ones!
And nothing messy or smelly!

My daughter and bridesmaids enjoyed bite-sized sandwiches and canape type nibbles as they dressed. It took ages with hair etc and they were all starving.

You could call the hotel, give them a budget and ask them to offer something like this as a gift from you?

Actually feeding the bride and bridesmaids is often overlooked I was told!

Just a thought.

How about some nicely fragranced flowers in the room instead - say 3 or 4 small vases of freesias or sweet peas. A florist would be able to advise on what’s seasonal and also fragranced. I agree that diffusers may adversely affect some people’s breathing. It is a lovely thought of yours though. I’m afraid I had to stand back over my own daughter’s wedding arrangements as although she said she’d include me in decision making, she was so stressed about the whole thing that my opinions weren’t required, however gently I tried to “advise”, but you’ll know your own DIL to be, but just bear this in mind. Have a lovely wedding!

I can’t be anywhere near a diffuser so I think it is a risky idea.

I've re-read this and realised I missed the point ?
I thought the diffuser was to go in the room where the ceremony was to take place

The diffuser is to go into the room where the future DIL is getting ready, presumably with bridesmaids, hairdresser, MOB all flitting around, possibly with a high level of stress developing.

Is this to defuse a possibly explosive situation or am I over-thinking this?

Curlywhirly Sun 22-Aug-21 09:36:13

A lovely thought, but in my opinion the gesture is just a little bit 'over the top'. I also think that the bride and bridesmaids will all be spraying hairspray, perfume, deodorant etc - just so many fragrances in one room!

Lincslass Sun 22-Aug-21 08:24:23

Why would you want a diffuser at a wedding, mixed in with all the perfumes and aftershaves.

M0nica Sun 22-Aug-21 08:11:29

fevertree many essential oils are accompanied by warnings that thye can cause problems for some people.

Katyj Sun 22-Aug-21 06:56:31

Also neom have a new smaller version of their diffuser now perfect for a bedroom.

Katyj Sun 22-Aug-21 06:51:47

Lovely idea. I bought my dil the wedding candle from Yankee, not sure if they do a diffuser.
I’ve recently bought a Tili diffuser from QVC very good so far it has a coloured light change as well , it was about £35 .I use the white company oils currently using lime bay think this one would suit a wedding.

NotSpaghetti Sun 22-Aug-21 06:37:04

Nonogran, I wondered about flowers but there's likely to be a bouquet if nothing else and if there are bridesmaids maybe posies too.

I still think it's a nice idea but a bit risky.

Nonogran Sat 21-Aug-21 23:44:23

Stuff like this, candles, diffusers and so on, give me breathing difficulties. I’d hate it!
An unnecessary addition to her day I’d say but each to his own. I’d rather have fresh scented flowers around me.

Peasblossom the diffuser that I have is eletrically powered and I add a few drops of pure essential oils to it. Not a chemical in sight.

Peasblossom Sat 21-Aug-21 23:13:00

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.

Esspee Sat 21-Aug-21 23:11:30

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.

Scribbles Sat 21-Aug-21 22:58:32

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.

Mandy48 Sat 21-Aug-21 22:45:10

Jo Malone English pear and Freesia is a lovely scent

fevertree Sat 21-Aug-21 22:43:11

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.

Lisagran

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

? not at all over the top.

Surely wine has been taken?
