What is wedding bomboniere (Wedding Favours / Favors)
Wedding Bomboniere is a small gift given to the wedding guests as a token of appreciation for their attendance and good wishes. These gifts need not be expensive and may be given to each guest separately or to each couple.
Many brides in Australia have now adopted this European tradition of distributing wedding bomboniere or wedding favors to their guests.
Wedding bomboniere traditionally consisted of a gift accompanied with five sugared almonds, representing Health, Wealth, Happiness, Fertility and Long Life. The modern wedding favor can be almost any sort of small gift but, popular with today's Australian brides are inexpensive bomboniere keepsake boxes or organza bags filled with the traditional five sugared almonds, two or three chocolates, or a new Aussie trend - jelly beans or candies.
