  i sweat like crazy... i started using certain dry a few weeks prior to my wedding date and no more sweat... just makes sure to use it at night (or just not after you shave- bc it will sting!) but i do not sweat anymore under my arms.  it can be kinda itchy but when i put my dove deodorant on after it dries the itch goes away... just a little sacrafice to not sweat on the big day

  I actually just bought deodorant, and then was reading somewhere else where a bride was talking about making sure to have non-white deodorant if you are wearing a sleeveless dress so it doesn't get all over your husband's suit when the two of you are hugging and such.  I never thought about that aspect of it before, and I have a sleeveless dress.
  
  Oh, and even if I shower the night before, I always apply deodorant in the AM.

  I'm a big fan of the Secret Clinical Strength deodorant - I ran out and have been using crappier stuff, and I'm definitely switching back.  I like their light & fresh - I'm going to try the lavender one now since lavender is a scent we have going on throughout the wedding - sprinkled in candles, in the toss cones for the recessional, etc.

  The Dove clinical works pretty well too, I will use that the night before.

  I have used Men's Degree for YEARS and have been happy with the results.  However, it is white when you apply it on.  Oh well, it won't be fresh/white once it's been on for an hour or two.

  Yeah, I sweat A LOT so I will probably to a quick reapply between the ceremony and reception, especially since the ceremony is outside.  Secret Invisible Solid works really well because it isn't white when it goes on.

  I have had major deodorant issues for a long time now. I think I might be allergic to the aluminum/metals they use in the anti-perspirants, and believe me, I went through every brand and checked every main ingredient. First, the deodorants stopped working for me, then I broke out in a rash all along my armpits. So, I actually had to detox my skin (yep--no deodorant/anti-perspirant of any kind for a few weeks--this was all over a year ago now). I was wearing Secret when the rash started. I tried pretty much every brand and type that was available: Ban, Dove, Mitchum (worked for a while then stopped), Degree, Toms, Lady Speed Stick, the Clinical Strength stuff, and even that Crystal thing, which was literally a hard crystal you had to get wet and then apply. 

  
  

  But I FINALLY found one that worked: Arm and Hammer. It's aluminum free and paraben free, and it goes on clear. The only catch is that it's only a DEODORANT and NOT an anti-perspirant. So if you sweat, you will smell more like your deodorant's scent, but the water is not supressed. Good if you don't actually produce much water, not so good if you produce a lot of water. I've kind of had to make do, because nothing else works for me anymore.
