No Italian wedding is complete without giving Italian Confetti Wedding Favors!
| You might offer your guests fine anise biscuits or even tiramisu at your Italian wedding, but the ultimate in Italian wedding favors is the Jordan almond confetti flower. No Italian wedding is complete without them. | Confetti fiori, from the word ?confection,? are tulle flowers with candy-coated almonds set inside the petals to convey best wishes. The tradition goes back to Roman times when confetti was comprised of honey-coated seeds. When sugar came to medieval Italy from the Orient, apothecaries began giving sugarcoated pills, and sugarcoating became associated with healing powers.
Confetti fiori were developed in the 16th century by nuns of the Santa Chirara convent in Sulmona. Sugared almonds, which were already being given out on special occasions in bundles of five for good luck, were fashioned into flowers with the five petals signifying health, happiness, prosperity, fertility, and a long life.
Confetti can be given out in three traditional ways: loose, in tulle bundles, or in flowers. If you give out loose confetti to your guests, do so as you?re walking around the room at your reception greeting everyone. The groom should hold the basket while the bride scoops out the almonds and offers them to guests.
A tulle bundle containing five candy-coated almonds is now among the most widely recognized wedding favors across many cultures, although the couple may not even know the story behind it. You can bet that your guests don?t either, so it?s a good idea to include a small slip of paper inside your little bundle (fortune-cookie style) briefly explaining the tradition. The tulle you use can be any color imaginable, or two contrasting colors of loose-weave tulle layered together. Your tie can be anything from a simple small bow to an explosion of curling ribbon, and you may choose to accent it with a small flower or charm. The details are completely up to you.
You may also choose to put five candy-coated almonds into a decorative box or tin and tie it up with ribbon. You can find traditional Italian favor boxes in bulk at craft-supply stores, in catalogs, or online, in a variety of shapes including square, a streamlined ?satchel,? a fancy tulle ?wrap,? or a cone. These generally cost forty to fifty cents apiece. For general purposes, a small paper craft box with a nice bow works just as well.
Single-stem confetti flowers may be laid at a guest?s place at the table either as-is or tucked into a napkin. You might also wrap them in tissue or rice paper tied with ribbon. A nice touch is to have a tag or gift card telling the history of confetti fiori attached to the flower with ribbon. They can also be put with live flowers or arranged by themselves as an excellent breakaway centerpiece. You might want to put your confetti fiori together in an elaborately decorated basket and hand them out while circulating among your guests. This is an excellent task for children. (Your flower girls will have had plenty of practice!)
With traditional Italian confetti wedding favors, you can share with your guests a rich cultural tradition while expressing to them your appreciation and blessings. Plus, it?s a nice way to say grazie.

Throw a Traditional Italian Wedding
Despite what you might think, you don't have to be a sun-kissed couple fresh from the shores of Sicily in order to have an Italian wedding. A couple of Italian descent are more than welcome to weave Italian traditions into their wedding -- whether or not they've ever set foot in Italy.
Many of us find that the most satisfying weddings combine nostalgic old traditions with contemporary ways of doing things. And old religious observances, historic dances, and traditional Italian foods are sure to give your wedding a warm Italian heart.
As everyone knows, Roman Catholicism is Italy's primary religion. So a traditional Italian wedding typically means a traditional Catholic wedding as well, including a full mass with the ceremony. However, it's still true that not every Italian is Catholic. Although it may be a bit unusual, if you and your partner aren't Catholic, you can still incorporate the Italian traditions in your reception. One of the most charming is the dove release, symbolizing the love and affection of each newlywed for the other, although this tradition is not very old.
No Italian wedding is complete without a few traditional dances, such as the Tarantella. Although the Tarantella's origin is somewhat murky, most of the stories about it involve a spider bite, and tell of a dance either meant to counteract the venom, or one that simply mimics the uncontrolled motions of the sufferer. At any rate, these days the Tarantella is performed at wedding parties to wish the couple a fine future together. Participants form a circle and dance in a clockwise direction, until the music speeds up and the dancers must change direction. The tempo changes several times, each time forcing the dancers to change direction and dance even faster. The Tarantella continues until it becomes impossible to keep up, and the dance falls apart.
What's the most distinguishing aspect of an Italian wedding? The food, of course. The Italians invented the evocative word abbondanza, which somehow means something more than mere "abundance," and no Italian wedding would be complete without an overwhelming feast of many courses. Traditionally, the wedding reception begins with an antipasto course of cheeses, olives, mushrooms, and pickled sweet peppers. This course is followed by subsequent courses starring pastas, meats, salads, soups, and desserts, each one punctuated by freely flowing wine.
It's interesting to note that some of the foods at an Italian wedding have symbolic overtones. For example, the giving of sugar-coated almonds to guests symbolizes that marriage is both bitter and sweet. The number of almonds given is associated with traditional meanings: for example, three almonds speak to fertility, while five almonds wish for wealth.
Another authentic Italian wedding tradition is the breaking of a glass at the reception's end, somewhat like a similar tradition within the Jewish faith. However, the deeper symbolism underlying these traditions is very different. Within Judaism, the broken glass symbolizes human frailty and the hardship the couple's ancestors endured as a result of their faith. But in Italian weddings, the broken glass points toward the future. The number of shards is said to predict the number of happy years the couple will have together.
It's deeply satisfying for couples of Italian descent to weave these traditional elements into their modern-day wedding. Even if only your distant relatives still reside on Italian soil and you've never been to Italy, it's still absolutely fine to follow these traditions. And that's not to say you have to be Italian, either -- all that's required is that you appreciate the richness of Italian culture and are willing to try something new.
