Although five sugared almonds will
always be a popular and significant choice for traditional wedding bomboniere,
many couples are thinking up unusual bomboniere to give their guests as a token
of their appreciation. Here are seven of the hottest trends in wedding bomboniere
provided by wedding dress plaza:
1. DIY candy bars
Have your guests make their own
bomboniere by setting up a wedding candy bar. Place several large glass jars
containing a variety of sweets and chocolates on the bar, and provide cute
boxes or bags to be filled up by your guests. Make sure there is a fun sign
telling guests to help themselves, as some may be a little unsure what to do.
2. Home made goodies
Nothing is as
personal as giving your guests sweet treats you have baked yourself and cookies
and cupcakes make charming and inexpensive bomboniere. Iced monograms of your initials
can add a unique touch, and biscuits can be wrapped in cellophane bags, while
cup cakes work best in open baskets.
3. Local goodies
Using local and seasonal produce is
becoming popular in every element of wedding planning, and bomboniere are no exception. Choosing a sweet
treat that is made locally rather than having bomboniere imported supports your
local economy and reduces transport costs.
4.Snap happy
Photographs will always make special
gifts, and pictures can be used as bomboniere in a variety of ways. If you
had an engagement party, try to find photos of each of your guests from that event and place
them in small frames that can double up as place names. You could also have
photos taken of each guest during your cocktail hour, and have the pictures
presented to guests as they leave. If you don’t have time to print the photos,
simply post them with your thank you notes.
5.Support a good cause
It is increasingly popular to donate
money to charity rather than having a gift list, and the same can be done with
bomboniere. Instead of placing a gift in each place setting, just include a
small note saying that a donation has been made in your guests’ name to a
certain charity. 6.Themed bomboniere
Choosing a bomboniere that reflects the
theme of your wedding is a fashionable option, and provides plenty of scope for
your imagination. If you are having a beach wedding, inflatable beach balls are
a fun choice, and if you are having a garden wedding try giving personalised
packets of seeds or a miniature pot plant.
7.Whiter than white
With all white weddings being the trend
of the moment, simple all white bomboniere are very fashionable. Any type of
sweet can be placed inside a pure white box, tied with a ribbon, but for a
contemporary touch place mints or white chocolates inside clear Perspex boxes
and decorate with white ribbons and sparkling crystals.
