It’s good to give a BonBon - Wedding bomboniere ideas
Forget sugared almonds for the traditional take on Bomboniere. With ever-increasing options in modern life, there shouldn’t be any reason to thank your guests with something ordinary. Flavour and colour choices should be as individual as the wedding itself, so give the event a memento that reflects your style and your personality. Sharon Green finds out more.
- Select a gift in a colour that matches your flower arrangement, the colour of the bridesmaids’ dresses or the general colour scheme of the wedding.
- Something classic and stylish such as glossy white lollies can suggest elegance.
- Place your gift into a clear box instead of typical tulle for something different. This looks especially vibrant if the lollies are colourful.
- Run wild with lolly flavours: strawberry is popular but why not try pineapple, wild-berry, mandarin, lemon, watermelon or Tia Maria. The possibilities are endless!
- Jellybeans. This colourful and delicious treat is a suitable idea for couples on a budget or for those who simply want to reflect a bit of fun.
- For a beach-themed wedding, give seashell shaped chocolates, soaps or candles.
- To represent the symbol of love, include anything heart-shaped.
- Everyone loves a love story, so why not include a miniature scroll of your favourite love poem, quote or phrase.
- Dainty stainless-steel boxes lined with satin, filled with rose petals and chocolate hearts will show a celebration of love.
- For a fairytale to remember, include a miniature bottle of bubbles, a tiny crystal slipper, some ‘fairy dust’ and star-shaped confetti in glittering pink, silver or gold. Your guests will surely believe that wishes do really come true.
