Amedei chocolate from Italy is made from the world’s best cocoa beans, produced with deep passion and knowledge for choco- late.” The truffles can be presented in a choice of two beautifully styled appointed boxes: a white satin card box for one, two or four truffles or a white embossed finish box for two or four truffles, along with a personalised ribbon with the couples’ name and date of their special day. For name place settings, the name of the guest can be written in a choice of two different forms: either printed on a swing ticket attached to the ribbon, or a trian- gular name place setting with each guest’s name on the swing ticket, with the favour box neatly tucked inside.The couple may decide to opt for personalised foiled boxes instead, which involves their details being debossed onto the lid in silver or gold for an elegant and refined finish.
