Features and types
Bomboniere accessories fall into distinct categories: each one serves a specific need in the packaging or arrangement phase. Understanding the differences helps you choose better and avoid buying the wrong product.
Floral decorations in fabric and plastic
Artificial flowers are among the most requested accessories for weddings and christenings. Linea Due Elle offers soft ivory roses of 7 cm and polyester peonies of 7.5 cm in packs of 6 pieces: materials that do not deteriorate and maintain their shape even months after the event. ARPIMEX instead offers pink-hydrangea picks in plastic — in pink and salmon colours — with a malleable stem that inserts easily into boxes and bags. ETM carries 4 cm flower decorations in rosé colouration, sold in packs of 12 pieces: practical for those with many bomboniere to arrange. We at L'Arcolaio selected these floral lines because they cover the accessible price range without sacrificing the final visual result.
Seals and wax seals
The adhesive seals by Cupido&Co. are available in 40×35 mm format with "18" decoration in gold and black: a quick solution for graduation ceremonies and eighteenth birthdays. Scotton offers heart-shaped seals (60×50 mm, pink, 10 pcs): a classic for weddings and christenings. The self-adhesive wax seals from Cupido&Co. — pack of 24 pieces, red colour, with double-sided adhesive already applied on the back — eliminate the need for hot glue and are applied in just a few seconds on boxes, envelopes and ribbons. The standard 35 mm diameter ensures balanced proportions on medium-sized packages.
Pre-made bows
The bows by Scotton (55×20 mm, beige, 10 pcs) are among the most convenient items: no knots to tie, they are applied by pressing the built-in adhesive. The beige colouration matches natural and rustic palettes, increasingly requested for rustic-style weddings. For those looking for more vibrant tones or coordinated with a specific theme, the product grid contains further colour variants.
Decorative wooden signs
Cupido&Co. produces wooden "Christening" signs (550×147 mm) in two versions: light blue for boys and pink for girls. They are designed as a scenographic element for the bomboniere table or for the sweets corner, and add a three-dimensional element that is easily photographable. The dimensions allow them to be placed on a flat surface or fixed with a support.
Boxes and decorative containers
ARPIMEX offers white butterfly boxes in plastic in a pack of 6 pieces: ready-made containers that serve both as confetti holders and as a decorative element. Useful when you want to offer a "turnkey" bomboniera without adding other accessories on top.
How to choose bomboniere accessories
For weddings
Focus on white, ivory, powder pink and gold tones. The peonies and roses in polyester by Linea Due Elle adapt perfectly to classic wedding palettes. The pre-made bows from Scotton in beige or ivory greatly speed up packaging when there are 100 or more bomboniere. Pair them with glasses and table accessories if you are also organising the decoration of the bride and groom's table.
For christenings
The wooden "Christening" signs from Cupido&Co. (light blue or pink) are a concrete starting point to define the bomboniere table. The small light blue flowers with adhesive (Ø 32 mm, 12 pcs) coordinate the colour on individual packages. For a complete arrangement, also explore the sweets table accessories where you will find trays, cake stands and confetti containers.
For graduation and eighteenth birthday
The "18" gold/black seals from Cupido&Co. are already thematic and do not require other accessories to be recognisable. The red wax seals from Cupido&Co. add a formal touch to the envelopes. Dark-toned tassels or beige bows complete the package without overdoing it.
For first communion and confirmation
Prefer pastel colours and discreet symbols. The light blue flowers from Cupido&Co. or the ivory roses from Linea Due Elle are safe choices. The wax seals with religious symbols (doves, crosses) complete the package without appearing excessive.
How many accessories to buy?
Practical rule: calculate 1 accessory per bomboniera, then add an extra 10-15% for any mistakes during packaging or last-minute guests. Products are sold in packs of 6, 10, 12 and 24 pieces: check the quantity per pack before adding to the cart, so you avoid duplicate purchases. For the entire ceremony catalogue, consult the bomboniere and ceremony items.
FAQ
How do you apply self-adhesive wax seals?
The wax seals from Cupido&Co. already have double-sided adhesive on the back protected by a film. Remove the film and press the wax seal onto the surface you want to seal (box, envelope, ribbon). It works on dry and clean surfaces. No hot glue needed: adhesion is immediate and permanent.
Can fabric flowers be cleaned?
Fabric and polyester flowers — such as the roses from Linea Due Elle or the decorations from ETM — are dusted with a soft brush or dry cloth. They are not washable in water: prolonged contact could deform the petals or fade the colours. Store them in closed boxes if you don't use them right away.
How many packs of bows are needed for 100 bomboniere?
For 100 bomboniere you need 10 packs of bows (10 pcs each). It is advisable to buy 11-12 to have a small reserve in case of mistakes during packaging. The bows from Scotton are among the most purchased: quick, already ready, with built-in adhesive.
Do ARPIMEX floral picks adapt to any box?
The picks ARPIMEX have a malleable plastic stem that allows you to adjust the height and angle. They insert into boxes, bags and baskets without the need for glue. The pink and salmon versions match well with spring palettes for weddings and informal events.
Which colours work for each ceremony?
White and ivory for weddings. Light blue or pink for christenings. Red and black for graduations. Silver for wedding anniversaries. Violet or lilac for first communions and confirmations. Neutral tones like beige and taupe — available for example in the bows from Scotton — suit any theme without risk of clashing.
Are floral accessories also suitable for men's bomboniere?
Yes, provided you choose sober versions: stylised flowers in white or ivory, wax seals with numbers or geometric symbols, seals in gold/black. Coloured flowers and more striking decorations are more suitable for female or mixed bomboniere. For confetti holders and coordinated containers, also check the glasses and table accessories.
