Heirloom Weddings

1867

This posy, or tussie-mussie was a fashionable design in the post civil war era. Never pyramid or ball shaped, always with a slight elevation in the center.

Looking at the past can be fun and educational too. We inclued this selection of bouquets to show how weddings have evolved over the last century. Many of the things we thought of as "avant garde" or "far out" 50 years ago are tame by todays standards. People laughed at some of those ideas too. You should know that your wedding day is your time to do what you want for you and your groom. Your wedding day is a time of freedom, a time to break the rules, a time to express yourself.
