Bomboniere Live for weddings and events
The glassworking becomes part of the event.
Damiano and his wife Renata make glass wedding favours right at the reception, in front of the guests. Live craftsmanship that becomes part of the event and leaves every guest with an object created on the spot.
The favour takes shape in front of the guest who receives it
Bomboniere Live is not simply the handing out of ready-packaged objects. During the event Damiano sets up his own work station and works the glass in front of the guests, showing how the material is heated, blown and shaped.
The technique, the speed of the gesture and the transformation of the glass hold attention without any staged effects. It is the real work of a craftsman made visible, letting guests understand just how much time, precision and experience lie behind one small creation.
The service at the heart of the reception
A wedding is the event where Bomboniere Live is seen at its fullest. Before the date, Damiano and the couple settle on the design, the colours, the quantity and the way the pieces will be made. The favour can echo the style of the setting or keep the distinctive character of Soffio d'Arte creations.
During the reception guests can come up to the work station, watch the different stages and see each piece take shape. The work becomes a real moment of the day, and the favour gains value because whoever receives it has seen it come to life.
A design agreed before the event
The success of the service also depends on choosing a creation suited to being made live. That is why we do not start from an endless catalogue, but from designs and solutions Damiano can produce with the quality, the consistency and the timings the reception requires.
Shape, colour, any details and the packaging are all agreed in advance. Each piece keeps slight differences from the others: these are not imperfections, but the natural consequence of work done by hand, one favour at a time.
Not just weddings
The service can also be arranged for first communions, confirmations, christenings, anniversaries and other private occasions. Weddings remain the most requested format, and the one with the widest range of examples and photographs available, but every project is adapted to the type of event, the space and the number of guests.

Not staged entertainment, but a real craft
Damiano has worked glass since he was fifteen and founded Soffio d'Arte in 1996. Bomboniere Live takes part of his everyday work out of the workshop: lampworking, control of the material and the ability to turn an idea into an object.
What makes it so absorbing is precisely its authenticity. Guests are not watching a performance, but the real making of the favours they will take home.
What the couples say
“We wanted to give our guests something unique that told our story. Thanks to Damiano and his art it was possible. We visited his workshop and together we worked out every detail of our favour. Watching him at work was truly moving.”
