SOMETHING OLD no.5

fine favours

Centuries ago, European aristocrats, mainly those in France and Italy, would send their wedding guests home with a small gift called a bonbonniere. A bonbonniere was actually a box made of porcelain, crystal, precious stones or metal. Inside one would find delicacies made of sugar. It was from these boxed and gift wrapped confections that today’s wedding favours are derived. And this old tradition lives on.

And whilst the trend in the past few years is to give non-edible favours, it seems brides are reverting back to sweet delicacies and more notably ones that are homemade, therefore making them more personal and with emphasis on memories rather than money. Combined with stunning packaging and a thoughtful note, you will have favours that are pure finery!
