To each their own of course but I think this is the perfect example of wedding industry excess. Mr. Bee was right in his earlier post…it’s not all the things that make a wedding special. Whatever happend to flowers scenting your wedding?

TORTURE!!! The scent of regular wedding flowers and candles and all the ladies’ perfumes would be too much for most allergic people.

Good heavens this is the most ridiculous example of a frivolous wedding expense I’ve ever heard of. And I’ve heard of some crazy ones.

Anyone wondering if they’re just Glade plug-ins in a fancy box?

I don’t like much synthetic scent and I’d worry about guest with chemical sensitivity.

Use real, fresh flowers. Those actually smell good.

For the love of Pete!! ANOTHER unnecessary thing to spend money on? Heck no, I would never think to do this! Besides the sheer ridiculous-ness of this, my mom, matron of honor and I would all end up writing in pain from scent-induced migranes. So, ummm, no, I won’t be having this.

BTW, I would be *writhing* in pain, not writing. Writing is fun. Writhing is not.

And Mrs. Bee, even though there are mostly (all?) negative comments to this, it’s interesting to read about. It has sparked comments, and that’s always fun.

no/hell no

scenting a room? eeh, not so much. i’m borderline sensitive to some scents so i would definitely not be doing this.

Mary - you are so right. I’m currently reading Fast Food Nation and there’s a whole part about how the writer went to a plant where they “manufacture taste.” It’s really very similar to working in a perfumery, because most of what you are tasting is being brought in through your nose (for those wondering, people who like foods that stink have just gotten used to it, or have learned to ignore it!)
