Tussie Mussie Bouquet
Tussie mussies are small arrangements of flowers, greenery and herbs could convey complex symbolic meaning according to the botanical elements used. Though tussie mussies have been around "since humans first picked flowers," says writer Geri Laufer, they were prominent enough to appear in 1440 in the first English-Latin dictionary. They were carried in the Victorian era by unmarried ladies in lieu of jewelry. These small, symbolic nosegays are filled with significance determined by the flowers you choose for the bouquet.
