If you've been looking for a great natural fragrance (that means one that doesn't contain any of the bad stuff, such as phthalates, sulfates, parabens) for your wedding day, then you've come to the right place. Why? Because natural fragrance is one of our favorite beauty topics to discuss. In fact, we've been kind of obsessed for a while now, especially because we've found that many brides say traditional fragrances induce headaches or feel too overbearing for all-day wear. That's why we're sharing some of our favorites, and each just so happens to be worthy of being worn on your wedding day.
Even if you aren't in the market specifically for a natural fragrance, we think you'll find that they're perfect for brides and grooms. Natural fragrances tend to be light, fresh, subtle, and just generally smell authentic and uplifting, and that's a great thing when you're thinking about a fragrance that you'll wear from pre-wedding portraits straight through your last dance. Many natural fragrances come in oil form, too, which adds a sexy, sensual quality that we love. Applied on your pulse points—that's your wrists, the backs of your knees, and your neck—oil fragrances will subtly circulate and can really only be smelled when other people are standing near you, or embrace you, which makes the fragrance more intimate.
Today, natural fragrances run the gamut. Many brands are making awesome fragrances, so whatever your preference—whether you favor floral and sweet or musky and spicy scents—you'll find that there's something you'll love here. We've rounded up nine of our favorites to give you the natural fragrances that you'll be excited to wear on your wedding day. (And long after the day is over.)

Behnaz
We are obsessed with these organic hair and body fragrances. Not only are the bottles super chic and worthy of being displayed on a vanity, but they come in the most gorgeous scents: rose, which contains only rose petals and water, and neroli, which contains just orange blossom and water. (But if you buy the whole set, you'll also get jasmine, too.)

Some of these aromatherapy rollerballs would be great to use not just on your wedding day, but also before as part of your pre-wedding beauty regimen. After all, they have an immunity boost to ward off sickness, one that relives muscles and tenseness, and another for stress.

By Rosie Jane
A classic, feminine fragrance, this scent is sweet, yet clean and sophisticated. (It's like the grown-up version of the first fragrance we wore in middle school.) With honeysuckle, jasmine, and fig, we can picture this being worn on a bride who's getting married on a quintessential summer evening.
