Bomboniere,
a sweet story
In
the Italian tradition the bomboniera is a small object, a memento
of the happy day but not only that. The bomboniera is also an
expression of the evolution in art and customs.
Originally in the 15th century "sweet boxes" were
swapped by the engaged couple's family as sign of good fortune.
In Italy at the end of the 18th century bomboniere began to
be used as "wedding souvenirs". At first they were
made mostly with porcelain.
Today bomboniere are proposed in a wide variety of materials
and colors. Most bomboniere contain five sugared almonds symbolising
health, wealth, happiness, fertility and long life. Each bomboniera
can be personalised by a small folded card with the bride and
groom's first names and date of the happy occasion.
The "Gift bomboniere " are normally given by the marrying
couple as a memento and as thanksgiving for the wedding gifts
received. The "Tulle ciuffetti " are normally distributed
to the guests at the wedding feast.
