Me, me, ME.
It's actually a British thing and I'm getting one. I absolutely adore them... but I think they need to fit the wedding theme. Mine is Edwardian so they do indeed fit.
Hmm I didnt even think of it matching the theme! Ours is more summer/southern so I dont really feel like it fits. I just googled it and it seems like a very "Victorian" thing. Im not too big of a fan. But I dont have any other options!
Mine is Victorian and yes, I have heard of them, and am considering them, but we will see. Persnally, I don't think they are cheesy. I am not sure what you would consider noncheesy. Some other ideas might be fans, parasols, wrist corsages, etc. You could ask your florist again, if she has any more ideas for you.
noritake - I just thinking its a little weird (for me) to have my mother/FMIL/FGIL carrying smaller bouquets. I like the idea of fans because its going to be very hot out! I guess its just weird because Ive always thought it to be just the bride and bridesmaids who carry bouquets. Would it be horrible not to have anything? Or I saw somewhere else the idea of taking flowers from my bouquet to give to them?
A tussy mussy is really a lovely idea. They are really small bouquets that are normally put in a silver metal bouquet holder. They won't look like a traditional bridesmaid bouquet because they aren't meant to be carried with two hands, but rather with one. Women used to carry them to be able to smell a pleasant scent rather than the sewer smells of Victorian times... (They were the original air refresher!) They aren't very big, so they aren't the best idea for a bridesmaid, but for the mothers or grandmothers they would be lovely!
thanks missbliss - maybe I would be okay with it. I think the metal holder is actually the thing I dislike about it so I think small nosegay bouquets is a more appropriate name for it?
I feel that same way about corsages. I am so glad I ran into this post because I have been trying to think of something else to do. I just feel like corsages are dated and VERY high school (kinda cheesy) No offense to anyone who likes them this is my personal opinion.

I think this might be a southern thing, I'm not sure. I met with my florist in August and she was asking about corasges for the mothers/grandmothers. I said that I was not a fan of corsages as to me it makes it seem like something from high school prom. Then my FMIL suggested "tussy mussies" instead. She said at her daughters wedding they had them. I google it and it looks like a little bouquet. THis seems a little weird to me. Couldnt I go with something different? Has anyone seen/heard of this? Are you doing it for your own wedding? Would you do it? Do you have any other ideas of how to distinguish these family members that arent so cheesy??? Thank you!
