Inside Weddings

Scents and Sensibility
Inspired by an eclectic mix of Italian art, ancient history, and her friends, Alexis Karl creates alluring hand-blended scents, each with a unique presentation. As a painter as well as a perfumer, Karl not only mixes each scent and solid, she also gilds the vintage- inspired bottles, boxes, and lockets they come for a truly one-of-a-kind quality. Bestow any one of her eight delicious fragrances as a special gift or commission your own signature scent. Karl consults with each bride about her likes, dislikes, fantasies, and wedding style before customizing the perfect perfume to wear down the aisle. Available at lacremebeauty.com or scentbyalexis.com for custom orders.

As shown, Belle wears the Santorini collar, $250, and Santorini lead, $390 (also available without beading for $60); hamptonshound.com.
