Italian
Some Brides may choose to carry a white silk
or satin purse ("busta") to store gifts of
money that are welcomed. "Tarantella" folk
dances are popular at the wedding reception.
Another Italian custom is to present five
sugar-coated almonds to the guests which
represent health, wealth, long life,
fertility, and happiness.
Sugared almonds have for centuries been
tossed by guests at the Italian wedding.
This is called “confetti”. Today, sugared
almonds are a popular favor found bound in
netting and tied with matching ribbon as a
treat to your wedding guests.
