7 Bomboniere Ideas Your Guests Will Love!
Beyond Sugared Almonds – Bonbonniere Guests Will Actually Love ✨
Little gifts, big memories – let’s talk bonbonniere magic.
After hundreds of weddings, I’ve seen just about every variation of bonbonniere under the sun – from heartfelt and handmade to, well… purse-sized packets of sugared almonds that tend to follow me from wedding to wedding like confetti.
While there’s nothing wrong with tradition (we do love a nostalgic moment), bonbonniere is one of those beautiful little details where you can really have some fun. It’s a chance to thank your guests with something meaningful, practical, and memorable — a piece of your day they’ll take home and actually use, love, or laugh about for years to come.
If you're looking for fresh ideas that delight, inspire, and break free from the usual suspects, here are some of our favourite bonbonniere options that never miss:
🍾 Mini Bubbly Bottles
Champagne, prosecco, or sparkling rosé – your guests will be popping these open at the next girls’ night or Sunday brunch. Bonus points if you pair it with personalised glassware for that luxe finishing touch.
🫧 Artisan Soaps
Elegant, fragrant, and practical – beautiful soaps feel like a treat and serve a purpose. Choose scents that reflect your day (think: lavender from your bouquet or citrus from your destination).
🪴 Living Plants
Succulents, herbs, or seedlings – symbolic, sustainable, and stunning. They represent love that grows, and guests with a green thumb will adore them.
🫶 Personalised Tea Towels
Yes, tea towels – but elevated. With initials, your wedding date, or even guest names, they’re thoughtful, practical, and a little unexpected (in the best way).
📀 USB Playlist Sticks
Forget mix CDs – load a USB with your wedding playlist, first dance songs, or even a thank-you message. Every time your guests press play, they’ll be transported back to your magical day.
🎨 Live Caricatures
A fun twist for the reception and a take-home souvenir. Whether solo, with their partner, or their kids – guests love watching themselves get sketched into art.
🕯 Custom Candles
Scented candles never go out of style. Take it to the next level and craft your own signature fragrance – your guests will think of you every time they light it.
Whether your celebration is modern and minimalist, rustic and romantic, or classic with a twist – your bonbonniere can be the perfect final note of your love story.
We’ll help you choose something that reflects you and complements the tone of the day – with style, sentiment, and maybe even a touch of surprise.
Planning your dream day, one thoughtful detail at a time.
