White Jordan almonds are a traditional treat given at Italian, Greek and Middle Eastern weddings. Today, their popularity crosses cultural lines as many brides choose to include them in their wedding celebration. There’s quite a bit of history to the tradition and the symbolism varies slightly as you explore the symbolism associated with Jordan almonds. These luscious, smooth coated almonds are typically packaged in bags or boxes in uneven numbers and given to members of the wedding party and guests. A poem is often included with the almonds.

Those five pieces of candy symbolize health, wealth, happiness, fertility and longevity.
