The tradition of the gift of five almonds at weddings and births represents five wishes for health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and long life. Today, the ancient tradition endures as a new generation offers the five almonds in a stylish new fashion. Using quality European textiles and quality candy, the sugared almond favor has come out of the tulle bag and is now a stylish flower, used as a wedding or Christening favor at a table setting, arranged as a centerpiece, or attached to a wrapped gift.

How to make confetti flowers:
• From a bolt of ribbon, cut off a length of special pocketed ribbon, sometimes called coccarde.
• Insert a sugared almond into each petal.
• Pull the double tension strings together to form a flower.
• Insert a floral or sparkly accent in the middle for a finishing touch.
Choose from our ribbon designs in satin, gingham, lace, linen and net. In colors, ivory and white are most popular, with pink and blue and greens for showers.
