Wedding Bomboniere

The giving of Bomboniere goes back hundreds of years and originates in France during the Renaissance Period. The Bomboniere in France was known as Bonboniere. From France the tradition moved to Italy, Greece and Southern Europe and become known as Bomboniere.  The Father and Mother of the Bride or the Best man (depending upon the culture) gave each guest a small pouch of five or seven (an uneven number) coated almonds as a token of thanks. The pouch was tied with a ribbon and a bomboniere card with the name of the Bride and Groom attached. The five almonds symbolise health, wealth, happiness, fertility and luck.

Today, bomboniere is given to the guests as a keepsake gift of the wedding. Sugar coated almonds are traditional, while chocolates and other gifts like cherubs, figurines, port or wine bottles and photographic frames are appropriate. These days, it is of personal choice whether to give each lady,  person or family, bomboniere.  The gifts can be given at the end of the celebrations or placed on the table near the place cards. It is a lovely way of saying thank you to your guests for celebrating your special day with you.

Cupids Scribe supply four major types of ribbon and tulle bomboniere. Within each type, there are various colours or designs. Our bomboniere creations are unlimited and can be as unique as the individual. Traditionally the outside tulle is kept white to symbolise purity.  However, to enhance the colour theme of your wedding you can use a coloured insert.

Cupids Scribe can help you create and customise your bomboniere and keepsakes to suit the colours of your wedding theme, christenings, birthday or special occasion. Cupids Scribe also provide bomboniere boxes as an alternative to ribbon and tulle bomboniere. Exclusive designs are ideal if you wish to add your own messages or even personalised to include the guests name. Cupids Scribe can customise your wedding bomboniere and keepsakes with curling, satin, or organza ribbon to suit the colours or theme of your wedding. Bomboniere tags, cards seals or labels are also useful.
