Bombonieres Wedding bombonieres are small gifts for your wedding guests, usually placed on the table at your reception. This is a thankyou give to your guests for sharing in your special day, and perhaps to give them a keepsake to take home. The traditional wedding bomboniere consist of five sugared almonds wrapped in a circle of white tulle, each almond representing health, wealth, happiness, fertility and longevity. However, times have changed and there are now hundreds of styles of bomboniere to choose from, allowing you to express your own personal style and taste. Be sure to order enough bombonieres for all of your guests, plus a few spares to make sure everyone gets one to take home. You will probably want a couple for yourselves as mementos, and a few for the guests that could not make it to the wedding.
