Making a Bomboniere

Making Net Wedding Favours (Bombonieres) by hand

1. Place your favour nets on top of each other with outer layer at the bottom, making sure all the layers are level and central.
2. Place a favour saucer (if you’re using one) in the middle of the favour nets, and then place your filling (this can be confectionery or dried flowers, maybe) in the saucer or centre of the nets.
3. Cut ribbon to length – if you’re using curling ribbon, remember to add plenty of length for the ‘curls’. Bring up all the layers together from each of the four points of the compass, and hold together in the centre above the favour dish. Then gather in the edges in between these points, so that you have effectively gathered the layers together from 8 points around the circle.
4. Tie your ribbon around the gathered tulle just above the filling, making sure it is central and even, and secure tightly with a double knot. Finish with a bow if desired.
5. Pull each layer of tulle apart, separating them to give a fuller effect.
6. If you wish, you can insert flowers into the centre of the favour as additional decoration.

Of course, favours such as these are not just limited to being used as Wedding favours - pretty pale pink and pale blue favour nets can be used in Christening favours, or gold and silver for Anniversary favours. With so many colours and styles of net available, the possibilities are endless!
