2008-2009 European Heirloom Collection
The
five-almond wedding favor,
a tradition with significance passed
on for centuries, is an important Italian,
Greek and European custom. There are
several ways to give Jordan Almond Bomboniera
and Boubounieres confetti holders, beautiful
bomboniera flowers which also serve as useful
wedding table decor and unique wedding
favors. Here you can buy special
pocketed "portaconfetti" ribbon
to hold sugared almonds, sometimes also
referred to as Jordan almonds.

page for imported confetti almonds)
