Wedding Flowers - Tussie-Mussie - Mother of the Bride

Various options for Mother of the Bride (and Groom)

When it comes to Mother of the Bride wedding flowers, they really have the most to choose from. Ranging from very inexpensive to moderately priced there are all sorts of things one could do as a nice gesture for the Mothers of the...
Pin-on corsages, wristlets, hand-tied bouquet and single stem flowers... sometimes even clutch purse corsages! Lets talk about tussle-mussies which have been around for centuries! There are a variety of ways to spell tussie-mussie (tussy mussy...etc.). Queen Victoria started the term tussie-mussie when these small floral bouquets became a fashion accessory. Prior to this, these small bouquets were commonly referred to as a nosegay (and still are in some circles!).

There are a multitude of flowers that can be used in a tussle-mussie. Typically, we use either spray roses, lilies often times filler flowers work really well.  Once we put the flowers in the holder they are cut off from water so its wise to use flowers that do well in corsages and boutonnieres. We always tie these in with the rest of the wedding flowers used.

This is an example of the ability to use a Tussie - Mussie more than once. This mother of the bride had another daughter get married in 2011, now in 2013 she gets to add another charm to her keepsake! 

 Tussie - mussies are very classy, victorian and often times something different from the traditional pin-on or wristlet. It's a gift in and of itself and looks great in a curio cabinet or breakfront with other keepsakes.

We're Blogging!!

Hey Knoxville!

We're so excited to be up and blogging over here at Lisa Foster Floral Design!  We've recently moved locations, and are now at 6622 Kingston Pike, in the shopping center with Bonefish Grill and beside Wedding Wonderland.  Our studio is reminiscent of Lisa's European flair with designs...and it smells great to boot (or so says almost everyone that stops by!), so come in for a visit. Stroll around, place an order for your best friend, mother, or spouse.  Make an appointment with Lisa and begin planning for your dream wedding...and the beautiful colors and scents that flowers will add to the memorable day.  Honor a loved one's memory with a beautiful casket spray or urn for the funeral. We're a full-service florist here, so bring us any order and we'll work with any budget.

But if life is just too busy these days to drop in, call us at 865.951.0660, and place an order.

We'll be doing lots of interesting things with the blog, so check back for news and highlights of our work, how to keep flowers at their best for the longest amount of time, and updates and special offers!

There is still more to come from us; we're not finished yet with the blog...But until we get things up and running, check out our slideshow on the sidebar of many of the weddings Lisa and The Design Team have made phenomenal.
