CANTERBURY BRIDE
Continued from previous page Rather than providing a bonboniere, a family of modest means would often select simpler gifts to give as mementos. Almonds were commonly given as wedding gifts to signify good luck in their life together. Coating almonds became popular and the sugar coated almonds were called confetti. Now confetti has a different meaning but at one time it was meant as sugar coated almonds. Wedding memento options Picking a wedding memento holds no boundaries. A traditional gift of five almonds has been replaced with trinkets and themed articles. Depending on the type of wedding, any type of memento can be obtained. Destination weddings can be decorated with seashell keepsakes, people who like golf can have golf related trinkets, while the more traditional bride and groom can offer chocolates or individual picture frames for their guests. Depending on the budget and type of wedding to be held there will be a wedding memento to suit the ceremony.
THERE WERE USUALLY FIVE CONFECTIONS IN THE BOX TO REPRESENT FERTILITY, HEALTH, WEALTH, HAPPINESS AND LONGEVITY.
