Being
part of a tradition is comforting.
Tradition
binds us to the people that came before
us, and it is a noble custom to pass onto
our next generation. But its not impossible
to infuse tradition with your own innovation,
style and personality. In Italian, Greek
and other Mediterranean cultures, it is
traditional to serve five sugared almonds
at weddings, baptisms and bridal showers.
Why five? Why sugared almonds? To represent
the bitter (almond) and sweet (sugar)
of life. And why five? For five wishes
for happiness, health, prosperity, fertility
and long life.
You
can do this a new, modern way with almond
holders, confetti
flowers and other ConfettiFlowers.com
exclusives. You can also substitute confetti
almonds for confetti chocolates, as
the chocolate can be be the bitter, and
sugar coating, the sweetness.

We
have the broadest selection of Italian confetti
almonds on the Internet. Here you
will find confection from the finest Italian
companies: Confetti Crispo, Confetti
Pelino and La Confetteria del Cuore .
Our almonds are always fresh, sold in sealed
boxes with an expiration date. (You won't
have that same assurance when buying from
vendors who sell in bags.) The boxes weigh
one kilo, which is a little more 2 lbs.,
so when making favors that require five
almonds, you should count one box for 50
favors. Not all the confetti contain almonds.
You can order all chocolate, chocolate covered
almonds in candy shells, or candy almonds
with infused flavors such as strawberry,
coconut and lemon. The Cio'cAmour brand,
from La Confetteria del Cuore, is also Kosher
Parve.

Confetti
Ribbon Rolls are sold mostly
in rolls that make 50 favors. Typically
you insert one almond into every
pocket, but in star-shaped flowers
like Siracusa above, you insert
one almond in every other peak.

Confetti
Ribbon Flowers are also a clever way to
give your five almonds. Again, we
are proud to present the
largest selection of ribbon flower almond
holders on the Internet, with many styles
in stock. These are specially-made pocketed
ribbon made in Italy, of silky satins,
rustic weaves, and textured polys in a broad
range of colors. Snip off a segment with
five peaks. Insert five confetti almonds
and pull the tension strings you will find
on both ends. Within seconds your flower
will form. You can use endless creative
ways to decorate your favor.
