How to choose the right item for your ceremony
At L'Arcolaio, we select these items keeping in mind what customers truly look for when organizing a ceremony: practical solutions, coordinatable with each other, with declared materials. Here are the criteria that guide our choices.
By type of ceremony:
- Wedding: focus on tall glass bowls (H25-H29), ivory or white ribbons, satin or white organza bags. A classic or romantic style is built with neutral tones and reflective materials.
- Baptism and Communion: colored glass decorations (light blue, pink, lavender) and pink or light blue satin ribbons of 15-25 mm are easily matched. Ecru tulle bags are the most traditional choice.
- Confirmation and Graduation: compact containers or cardboard boxes, solid-color grosgrain or satin ribbons, a more sober palette (ivory, white, gold).
By event style:
- Classic: clear glass, ivory satin ribbons, white bags with drawstring closure.
- Romantic: glass decorations with pearls (lavender or pink), antique pink ribbons, ecru tulle.
- Modern/Minimal: transparent crystal bags, geometric containers (diamonds), thin tone-on-tone ribbons.
By number of guests:products in packs of 25 or 100 pieces (bags, ETM pouches) simplify quantity planning. For buffet sugared almond displays, the tall EDG or Maxtris glass bowls can be easily refilled during the reception.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions about Favors and Ceremony Items
Which container should I choose for a wedding favor?
For weddings, glass bowls with lids (H25 or H29 cm) are the most popular choice: spacious, elegant, and versatile. If you prefer a more compact style, the H20 D9 cm textured glass container with a lid is a valid alternative. For a rustic style, combine a glass jar with a cork stopper with a jute ribbon and a personalized tag.
How many confetti are needed for a favor?
For single favors with compact containers (H9 cm), generally 30-50 g of confetti are used, equivalent to 5-7 decorative confetti. For large sugared almond display bowls (H25-H29 cm), the quantity increases to 200-300 g. Plan ahead: Maxtrisconfetti can be directly combined with containers from the same line.
Are organza and tulle bags suitable for food contact?
Organza and tulle bags are suitable for pre-packaged confetti. For direct contact with loose confetti or food, transparent crystal ETM food bags (certified for food use) are the correct choice.
How to coordinate the colors of bags, ribbons, and favors?
The simplest rule is tone-on-tone: an ivory bag with an ivory ETM ribbon, or a white bag with an antique pink ribbon for a soft contrast. For baptisms and communions, light blue and pastel pink work with almost all container formats. For formal weddings, white, ivory, and gold maintain stylistic consistency with ceremony decorationsand floral arrangements.
Can ceremony candles be used as favors?
Yes. Thematic decorative candles (bears, flowers, seasonal shapes) or scented jar candles are appreciated favors, especially for baptisms and communions. Pair them with a coordinated box or bag and a thank you note. Explore the dedicated selection of ceremony candlesto find the right size and color.
