Dragées, also known as Jordan almonds, were often used as wedding favors, with the “bitter” almonds and the “sweet” sugar symbolizing the bitterness of life and sweetness of love. Did you know that those treats were often packaged in groups of five to represent happiness, health, longevity, wealth, and fertility? At Italian and Greek weddings, the almonds were placed in groups of five, an odd number that is indivisible to symbolize the unity of husband and wife. In the Middle East, Jordan almonds are considered an aphrodisiac so there are always plenty on hand for the newlyweds and their guests.

We believe every joyful event should feature Dragées for the amazing symbolism they carry. To reflect your own values during your event, share with our team the color and design you like so that the Dragées can be customized as per your request.
