Italy wedding Confetti

Confetti are the fruit of an antique tradition, the first finding on the use of confetti for celebrating weddings, goes back to the year 447 A.D., in fact we find this mentioned in scripts regarding the rich Roman family “Fabi”. This tradition therefore, was created by the Romans, who celebrated reunions and births with the use of confetti, obviously the confetti of those days were not produced with the same ingredients, in fact, instead of sugar they used honey.

From the year 1500, confetti became the ideal conclusion of every big expensive get-together of high prestige and it was in fact a common procedure to offer the confetti to the most illustrated guests.

Confetti have always been considered very auspicious, in the past centuries they were the most prestigious sweets and therefore were reserved for the important ceremonies, like the higher rank weddings.

In general, the tradition has it that the confetti are placed in a separate bag inside the confetti box with the number of confetti ranging from 3 to 5; usually in the event of a wedding, the number of confetti chosen is 5 for it’s symbolic reason, happiness, wealth, longevity, fertility and health.

Generally, each event is associated with confetti of a different colour: Baptism (blue or pink), holy communion and confirmation (white), university degree (red), marriage (white), anniversary (gold, silver, etc, depending on the anniversary that is celebrated).

The classic confetti for a wedding is an almond in white sugared coating: this symbolizes the union of the couple (the two halves are held together by the almond).
