Little Mellow bomboniere seed bomb cards and bundles reflect that perfectly. They are also a gift for nature. Giving back to the earth.

Hello Toby, thank you for your question and congratulations on your upcoming wedding (how exciting!). So a bomboniere is is the traditional Italian name given to wedding favours. They are a show of love given to your guests. Not only for sharing your special day with them but thanking them for their ongoing support of your relationship. Our bomboniere are living succulents that will last a lifetime. Something that your guests can enjoy long after your final dance! Hope that helps! Happy plannin, Sara
it is a small gift for your guests to say thank you but also something they can keep as a memory of that special day.
Congratulations on your engagement Toby!
A Bomboniere is a small gift of gratitude given by the bridge and groom to each of their guests. You can choose from a wide range of products, including chocolate wedding favours which can be in the form of two truffles in a gift box, chocolate lollipops and even personalised chocolate bars that can double as a bomboniere and a name place card saving you money.
Bomboniere and wedding favour essentially are the same thing. Bomboniere is Italian, whilst wedding favour is English. Bomboniere are gifts given by bride & groom to their guests as gesture of gratitude.
It is believed that the first wedding favour, was known as bomboniere (bonbonniere). Unlike today, the tradition of giving bomboniere initially was only given out by wealthy people. A bomboniere was a small trinket box made of crystal, porcelain/precious stones. Inside it, were generally sugar cubes (symbolize wealth-where sugar was expensive). As price of sugar decreased, this tradition reached the general public and this culture is now shared by most bride & groom worldwide.
Today, wedding favour is referring to small gifts given by bride & groom to their guests. These gifts may take any form; bottle stopper, picture frame, candle, soap, and what makes it more interesting, it comes in variety of shapes to match the wedding themes, and some even comes with the option of personalisation too!
