Wedding Favours (also known as Bonbonieres) are such a charming way to commemorate your wedding. By gifting your guests a keepsake to take home, they will cherish their memories of you, their special friend, who said “I Do!”…
The Hartley Wedding Bonboniere Basket
The bonboniere can be traced back to the early days of European history, when amongst the wealthy aristocrats they were distributed to celebrate birthdays, christenings and marriages. During this time bonboniere packaging was made of gold, precious stones, crystal or porcelain. Even its contents – sugar – was of great value as sugar was a costly delicacy.
In the centuries that followed the cost of sugar reduced. Sugared almonds (confetti) bonboniere began to be given at weddings to wish the couple health, wealth, happiness, longevity and fertility.
Today the practice of giving bomboniere at weddings has taken hold as brides discover the pleasure it gives others to take home a memento of their wedding day.
