It is believed that the first wedding favour, common amongst European aristocrats, was known as abonbonnire. A bonbonniere is a small trinket box made of crystal, procelain and/or precious stones. The contents of these precious boxes were generally sugar cubes or delicate confections, which symbolize wealth and royalty. (In this era, sugar was an expensive commodity and was treasured only among the wealthy. It was believed that sugar contained medical benefits). As sugar became more affordable, bonbonnieres were replaced with Almonds. For centuries, almonds were commonly distributed to wedding guests to signify well wishes on the bridegroom’s new life. In the thirteenth century, almonds coated with sugar, known as confetti, were introduced. Confetti soon transformed to sugared almonds which later evolved into the wedding favour for modern day weddings. Traditionally, five almonds are presented in a confection box or wrapped in elegant fabric to represent fertility, longevity, wealth, health and happiness. Today, gifts to guests are commonly known as wedding favours and are shared in cultures worldwide, and have become a part of wedding reception planning, are diverse and can range from the classic sugared almonds to any small items. |
