The Tussy Mussy,
Comes in Different Styles

History of the tussy mussy: It first appeared in France during the eighteenth century. A nosegay bouquet in a small metal hand-held vase. Some have attached ring chains for easy carrying.

They were used primarily during the Victorian Era and considered art forms as each one was unique. The vase or cone could be made from pewter, cobalt glass, silver, gold, porcelain, plastic and even beaded.

You have the option of tying lace and ribbons to the tussy mussy to dress it up. For great bridal bouquet ideas, this hand-held vase elegantly displays the bouquets on your reception table during the wedding festivities and then serves as a lovely keepsake and heirloom for the bride and bridesmaids.
