Shapes and features of Bulgari Biribaò marshmallows
Bulgari marshmallows from Biribaò stand out for their soft, non-sticky texture, which makes handling easier during arrangements. Each shape is designed for a specific visual impact and pairs with different containers: glass vases, sweet cone holders, clear boxes or organza bags.
Bicolour and four-colour braids
The braids are available in white-pink or four-colour version with white, pink, green and yellow. They weigh approximately 4 grams each: a 1 kg bag contains approximately 250 pieces. They are the most versatile choice for coordinated colour compositions, because the elongated format distributes evenly even in narrower containers.
White and sky-blue daisies
The daisies have flat petals and defined outline. They come in pure white or sky-blue. The bags are 900 grams with approximately 100 pieces of 9 grams each. The white variant is suitable for christenings and spring ceremonies in a neutral palette; the sky-blue pairs well with ribbons and decorations in blue tones, common for boys' christenings.
White, midnight blue and mix golf balls
Golf balls have a textured surface relief and are offered in white, midnight blue and multicolour mix, always in 900 gram bags with approximately 100 pieces. Midnight blue suits arrangements with a dark palette or navy tones — common at weddings with a marine theme or at corporate events. The multicolour mix is suitable for more informal tables, birthdays and themed receptions with vibrant colours. White golf balls are the most neutral and suitable for any ceremony.
How to choose the right marshmallows for your ceremony
Based on the occasion
For a christening, white or sky-blue daisies are the most chromatically coherent choice; stars and white golf balls work equally well. For a wedding in white and pink, the bicolour braids offer a coordinated effect without resorting to multiple different references. Midnight blue golf balls fit into receptions with a modern palette.
For a birthday or informal event, the colour mix — four-colour braids or multicolour golf balls — allows you to create vibrant sweet tables without rigid colour planning.
Based on quantity
Braids weighing approximately 4 grams each offer the largest number of pieces per package (approximately 250): they are practical when you need to fill many small containers, such as organza bags or individual confetti boxes. Daisies and golf balls, with approximately 100 pieces per bag, are better suited to tall vases, bowls or centrepiece compositions where the single element should stand out clearly.
For a sweet buffet or confetti display for 50 guests, one or two bags are generally sufficient if paired with sweets and confectionery coordinated by colour. For larger events, calculate approximately 30–40 grams of marshmallows per person as a secondary decorative-edible element.
Based on the composition of the arrangement
Bulgari marshmallows pair well with traditional sweets, chocolates and gummy sweets to create multi-level compositions. Thanks to the lightness of the braids (4 g) and the fuller texture of daisies and golf balls (9 g), it is possible to mix different shapes in the same container while maintaining visual balance. To complete the arrangement, you can also explore the favour bags for ceremonies or the favour boxes available on L'Arcolaio.
You'll find the full range for ceremonies — from sweets to confetti display accessories — in the ceremony items and favours.
