Tradition of Bomboniere |
|
Bomboniere is the Italian word for favors and are gifts given out on special occasions to the guests. They traditionally contain five sugared almonds which, for weddings, symbolize health, wealth, happiness, fertility and long life.
 Bomboniere can be made in many forms using several different ingredients. Sugared almonds are put inside a bag made of tulle or satin and tied with ribbons in assorted colors. The color of sugared almonds is white for a wedding, First Communion or Confirmation; pink or light-blue for birthday or Baptism of a baby girl or baby boy, respectively, red for a graduation, and silver or gold for 25 or 50 year anniversaries.
Often they are adorned with dried natural flowers or artificial flowers made of silk or paper. The bag is often given stored inside a small vessel made of silver, crystal or porcelain. A bigliettino (little tag) or imprinted favor ribbon is attached with the date of the event along with names (as appropriate).
