Perfume Wedding Favors, Made at Your Reception
Perfume wedding favors give every guest a keepsake they will actually use. Each one chooses or blends a fragrance at your perfume bar, and the bottle goes home with them. Every time they wear it, they think of your day.
Glitters and Grace is led by a trained perfumer, and every fragrance starts in our New Lenox lab. We bring the bar, the bottles and the hosts to weddings across Chicago, Elmhurst, Winnetka and the rest of Illinois.

Why choose perfume wedding favors
Many favors are edible or decorative. They are sweet, but they disappear fast or end up in a drawer. A perfume is different. Scent is closely tied to memory, so the favor keeps working long after the last dance.
It is also practical. A bottle of eau de parfum, which means a perfume-strength spray, is something guests reach for on an ordinary Tuesday. And because each guest picks or blends their own, no two favors feel generic.
Finally, the favor doubles as entertainment. Guests gather at the bar, compare scents and pull friends over. The favor table becomes one of the liveliest corners of the room.
Choose your bottle size with your guest count in mind. The 15 ml suits a large list, and the 20 ml gives each guest a little more.
What goes into our perfume wedding favors
Every detail can match your wedding, from the scents to the label.
A scent palette you choose
With the Signature bar, you pick up to 12 house scents and lean them feminine, masculine or unisex. Guests choose their favorite, and the bar moves about 85 to 100 guests an hour.
Blending for a smaller list
The Full bar offers 120+ fragrances, and the Mini bar 60+. Guests build a scent from one of six bases, from floral to gourmand, at about 50 guests an hour. Compare the formats
Glass bottles
Choose 15 ml or 20 ml spray bottles. Each carries the Glitters and Grace label as standard.
Your names and date
Custom labels with your names, date or monogram are a paid add-on. They are printed in advance and ordered at booking. Custom label perfume bottles
A display that fits your decor
The bar can sit on a table, a luxury counter or one of our candy carts. We style florals to your palette, and linens and customized signage are available as add-ons. Wedding customization options
Order labels with your booking
Weddings book further ahead than most events, and so do May, September and December. Most Saturdays need six to eight weeks. If your wedding is sooner, reach out anyway. We have a large team of hosts and can often fit you in on short notice.

More than the reception
How booking works
- Share the basics. Send your date, venue, rough guest count and occasion through the booking form.
- Review your proposal. We reply within two business days with an itemized proposal, free and without obligation.
- Sign and order labels. After you sign, your count can go up but not down. Custom labels are ordered at this point.
- Meet your hosts. A week before the wedding, you receive host details and arrival time.
- Celebrate. We arrive one hour before start time, host every guest, then pack out and clean up.
Glitters and Grace was founded by Cheryl Gleason, a trained perfumer and cosmetic and skincare formulator. Every perfume, lip color and skincare base is made by hand in our New Lenox lab. Meet the founder.
