Shapes and characteristics of Bulgari Biribaò marshmallows
Bulgari marshmallows by Biribaò stand out for their soft and non-sticky consistency, which makes handling easier during table arrangements. Each shape is designed for a specific visual impact and pairs with different supports: glass vases, confetti cones, transparent boxes or organza bags.
Two-colour and four-colour braids
The braids are available in white-pink o four-colour 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, as the elongated format distributes evenly in containers.
White and assorted daisies
The daisies have flat petals and defined edges. They come in pure white or in assorted mix (white, sky blue and pastel tones). The bags are 900 grams with approximately 100 pieces of 9 grams each. Pure white is the most requested variant for christenings and spring ceremonies; the assorted mix works well for mixed tables or for those who want colour without overdoing it.
Navy blue and mix golf balls
The golf balls feature a textured relief surface. They are offered in navy blue or in multicolour mix, always in 900 gram bags with approximately 100 pieces. Navy blue lends itself to arrangements with dark palettes or navy tones, frequent in weddings with a nautical theme or at corporate events. The multicolour mix is ideal for more informal tables, birthdays and lively themed receptions.
Sky blue stars
The five-pointed stars in sky blue complete the range with a neutral and recognisable shape. Like the daisies and golf balls, the format is approximately 9 grams per piece.
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. Sky blue stars pair well for children's events. For a wedding in white and pink, two-colour braids offer a coordinated effect without resorting to multiple different references. Navy blue golf balls work for receptions with a modern or masculine palette.
For a birthday or informal event, a mix of colours — four-colour braids or multicolour golf balls — allows you to create vibrant sweet tables without rigid colour planning.
Based on quantity and format
The braids at approximately 4 grams each offer the highest number of pieces per package (approximately 250): they are convenient when you need to fill many small containers such as organza bags or individual confetti boxes. The daisies and golf balls, with approximately 100 pieces per bag, are better suited to tall vases, bowls or centrepiece arrangements where the individual element should be clearly visible.
For a sweet buffet or a confetti display for 50 guests, one or two bags of your chosen shape are usually sufficient if combined with Maxtris confetti or other sweets. For larger events, the recommendation is to calculate approximately 30–40 grams of marshmallows per person as a secondary decorative/edible element.
Based on the arrangement composition
Bulgari marshmallows pair well with traditional confetti, chocolates and sweets to create multi-level compositions. Thanks to the lightness of the braids (4 g) and the consistency of the daisies and golf balls (9 g), it is possible to mix different shapes in the same container whilst maintaining visual balance. If you want to explore the entire confectionery range for ceremonies available on L'Arcolaio, you will also find coloured confetti, almonds and dragées that can be coordinated by colour.
Ingredients and storage
All marshmallows in the Bulgari line are gluten free. They may contain traces of natural colourants such as E101 and safflower, indicated on the label. The soft texture is maintained over time if the products are stored in a cool and dry environment, away from direct light and heat sources. Once the bag is opened, it is advisable to reseal it hermetically.
The colours are obtained with food pigments and maintain colour stability over time, an important characteristic for those who need to prepare arrangements in advance of the event date.
