Have you decided on the wedding ceremony performances yet?
Speaking of wedding performances, there are many classics such as cake cutting and balloon releasing ♡ While there are plenty of standard performances, many brides-to-be must be confused about what to choose from all the options.
Lucky Dragée is a performance where several dragées (candies coated with sugar paste around almonds) are hidden inside a dessert cake, and guests who find them are asked to give speeches or receive gifts from the couple *
The charm of Lucky Dragée that I want to imitate *
The way to perform Lucky Dragée is to make a small adjustment to the dessert plates that guests will eat during the reception * You simply hide the dragées secretly on some plates ♡ When a guest finds a dragée in their dessert, they come to the front, so it's important to serve the dessert a little earlier than usual *
\If you get lucky, it’s happy ♩/ The charm of Lucky Dragée ② It’s auspicious ♡
Lucky Dragée is also appealing because it is considered a good omen ♡ In Europe, there is a wonderful superstition that says, "Those who find a Lucky Dragée will become happy" *
The almonds, which are the main ingredient of dragées, symbolize prosperity and many descendants because they bear a lot of fruit ♡ Dragées have long been considered indispensable for celebrations such as weddings and birthdays in Europe *
As for the number of dragées to put inside, it seems that in Italy, it is popular to include five dragées * This is because the number five represents "happiness," "health," "longevity," "wealth," and "descendants" ♡ It’s also cute to hide dragées in five cake pops♡
\If you get lucky, it’s happy ♩/ The charm of Lucky Dragée ③ Everyone can participate ♡
"Of course, first bites and candle services are wonderful performances, but I want to have a guest-centered performance too♡" Lucky Dragée is perfect for fulfilling such wishes of brides-to-be ♩
It’s common to ask guests who find the dragées to give speeches * Some guests might be surprised if asked to speak out of the blue, but if they found a Lucky Dragée, they will surely enjoy taking on the challenge ♡
For example, bouquet tosses have restrictions, as only unmarried women can participate.... but with Lucky Dragée, all guests can be part of the performance and surprise ♩ It’s great to have everyone involved and excited together! ♡
While it’s common to give gifts as prizes during the after-party, with Lucky Dragée, everyone can enjoy receiving gifts during the reception, which is truly appealing ♡
It’s wonderful to interact with guests, asking them for speeches and giving out gifts * Please incorporate Lucky Dragée so that both the bride and groom, as well as all the guests, can enjoy a wedding filled with smiles! ♡
