When I got married, I treated myself to some shower gel and body lotion to match my perfume, but it didn’t occur to me to find out if there were any soaps specially designed for brides. There are, though: this Bridal Soap by Mannon Interiors is made from olive oil and damask rose oil, and is used by Middle Eastern Brides on the eve of their weddings. It costs £3.50 for 100ml, so it could be worth buying a bar yourself to see why this has become a bridal tradition.
