Tussie Mussie Design

An English Floral design. A Tussie Mussie is a small circular nosegay of flowers and herbs, tightly gathered and designed to carry a special message in the language of flowers during courtship.

There are two types: formal and informal. Formal nosegays use concentric rows of flowers with a rose or other fragrant flower in the center. Informal tussie mussies are casually arranged.
