Wow ‘em with flowers
By Never teh BrideYou surely already know that I am no fan of the ubiquitous Jordan almond. Sometimes, however, presentation is everything. A trio of rock hard candy-coated almonds in a scrap of tulle? No thanks. Rock hard candy-coated almonds sewn into a flower made of ribbon and lace and other dainty things? Well…alright. Confetti Flowers takes its name from the word “confection” and features a goodly selection of fanciful ways to present guests with tooth-bustin’ almonds.
Be warned, however, that some of these faux blooms do not come pre-packaged. While most are assembled as shown by a “bomboniere specialist,” others require a certain amount of cutting, stuffing, sewing, and embellishing.
I think, were I a sweet-toothed guest receiving such an intricate favor, I’d feel rather guilty about tearing it open to get at the candy within!

I like being able to get at my Jordan almonds easily. I think I’d feel slightly guilty pulling something like one of those apart…but they certainly are pretty. Now if I could get them sans Jordan almonds, I would think they’re wonderful to display.
And suddenly I feel a need to get out my lace pillow and make lace flowers. Damn you for inspiring me! LOL!

I like, but I think as you mention I would rather keep the favor intact rather than destroying it to get those teeth bustin almonds out. Overall though those flowers would make for a great table decor accent.
