A tussie-mussie is a small bunch of flowers, typically given as a gift. They have existed in some form since at least medieval times, when they were worn around the head or on the lapel to mask the unpleasant smells of the time - literally, to keep the nose gay (happy). In their current form, they rose to popularity during the reign of Queen Victoria at which time the tussie-mussie became a popular fashion acceesory.
In the late 2oth Century the term tussie mussie came to denote the cone shaped boquet holder rather than the flowers within.
Single Tussy Mussies, as well as sets for your entire Bridal Party, are available at Tuesdays And Thursdays.
