Scott and I didn’t need to look far for inspiration, for the bonboniere that we are giving out tomorrow.  Rainbows are obviously big in our world. given a past appreciation for M&M dispensers and our enjoyment of the candies (we’re both partial to peanuts and peanut butter versions – but not so good for guests with peanut allergies) we figured milk chocolate M&Ms fit the bill.

However, bonboniere has a certain degree of symbolism, especially the colour.

With help from incredibleart.org, here is our chosen symbolism of each of the M&M colours:

• Red – for love and passion in your life
• Yellow – for joy and happiness being constant companions
• Blue – for peace, and unity in your life and homes
• Orange – for your energy, enthusiam and warmth
• Green – for health and generosity
• Brown – that your home is a place of stability and comfort.
