Wedding trend: Paw Bouquet

by Meg on June 9, 2008

All June brides should carry paw bouquets.

White bouquets are especially beautiful, with pink toe pads. Attaching a tail to your dress is still not a good idea, however.

Sarah, put them in super clean water so they last, mmmk?

But be careful not to munch on your paw bouquet during the ceremony.

Also, be careful when catching this bouquet. The “thorns” can be deadly!

3 snorgler 06.09.08 at 3:02 pm

I call them “paw posies.” Love ‘em!

4 Theo 06.09.08 at 3:13 pm

Works best with one of those spiffy “loop” velcro tuxes.

5 Babs 06.09.08 at 3:24 pm

Zo zoft zzzzzzzz…

I must, however, spank whoever wrote the hovertext. Boutonniere, dear, boutonniere.

6 Addis 06.09.08 at 3:28 pm

Aww, why can’t I wear a tail ?

7 hon glad 06.09.08 at 3:30 pm

Floofy bouquets, with the claw supprise element.

8 Theo 06.09.08 at 3:30 pm

OK, Babs, I fixed the hovertext.

;)

9 Clare 06.09.08 at 3:31 pm

TOEBEANS.

It NEEDS to be offishe.

10 Carolyn Grantham 06.09.08 at 3:40 pm

Just waiting for the bridezilla hissy fit: “But I specifically ordered Marmie! Now I won’t coordinate with the bridesmaids!”

11 emudoug 06.09.08 at 3:40 pm

I agree with Addis, tails are an essential part of wedding garb!

12 Juniper Jupiter 06.09.08 at 3:45 pm

OOOooo…Carolyn…you mentioned Bridezilla!!! It’s on, Girlfriend! CATFIGHT!!! RAWR HISS SCRATCH!!FFFTTT FFFTTT!!!

(Okay, sorry couldn’t resist! :D )

Now! Aboot the pic! All those poaws need to go IN MY MOUF!! OM NOM NOM NOM!!!

13 Sharon 06.09.08 at 3:58 pm

After the ceremony, you can root them, to be planted later in garden. For reals.

14 chanpon 06.09.08 at 4:05 pm

What lovely elegant gloved pawsies! I had much toe-bloomage at my apt this weekend, with the crazy hot humid weather.

15 Babs 06.09.08 at 4:20 pm

Oh Teho. More spankins for you.

16 michellemybelle 06.09.08 at 5:34 pm

I do!

You may now officially nom the toes.

Snorgling someone’s boutonniere could appear strange to an audience… and, question, where is the rest of the kitteh during this process? Taped to the shoulder of the dress?

18 Katrina 06.09.08 at 6:28 pm

Now, what kind of tail to wear to a wedding? Does one go for long and elegant or soft and sleek or flatout floofy? Giant Anteater still wins the day for me! It was my 22nd anniversary yesterday-I gave my husband a youth orchestra concert-and I STILL don’t have a tail to show for it! I’ll just keep waiting. The horns came in a long time ago, but the tailio? I’ll hope that it comes in floofy and silver-fox colored. Very cool.

Cats-n-racks comes to mind.

20 Decca 06.09.08 at 6:31 pm

Is that a bouquet or are they choosing up sides for baseball?

21 Caitlin 06.09.08 at 8:01 pm

Sharon, there’s actually a plant called pussytoes (I pet it whenever I find it :D )

http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/prairie/plantx/fld_pussytoesx.htm

and Meg, my wedding’s in a month, so thank you for the fashion tip! My florist is a local farmer, maybe I’ll see if she can add some to my bouquet ;)

22 anner 06.09.08 at 8:22 pm

now, if we can just add a few sprigs of kitten’s breath…

23 Michelle 06.09.08 at 8:22 pm

Lovely!

*buries nose into the bouquet, breathing in the delicate frito’s aroma*

Ahhhhhhh…

24 zeldapie 06.09.08 at 8:27 pm

Precious!

I wonder if I should try growing these in my garden?

25 berthaservant 06.09.08 at 9:14 pm

Do you, Pwincess Buttehcup, take this dewicious kitteh to be your nommable etewnal wuv?

26 Felicidades 06.09.08 at 9:18 pm

I keep trying to get all the brides I know to carry a kitten bouquet, all mew-lly and wriggly. Maybe this is the next best thing.

27 AuntieMame 06.09.08 at 9:39 pm

Hmph. No point in getting married if you can’t wear a tail in your wedding…

Maybe a border of kittehs around the edge of the train would be an acceptable alternative?

28 Gail 06.09.08 at 9:44 pm

@Carolyn G: One of my marmie foster bebehs has lovely white socks (and the requisite PEENK toebeans….I think it would make a lovely contrast!

29 Golden 06.09.08 at 10:38 pm

You know, my cat lets me play with his feet and I love it. He’ll curl up next to me and I’ll squersh his little toe beans and he just lays there and purrrrrrrs

30 binky-mama 06.09.08 at 10:57 pm

I wanna see if all four will fit in my mouf….

31 Raemie L. 06.10.08 at 12:48 am

:D The hovertext makes me imagine putting kitteh in a breastpocket of a jacket, one paw on the lapel, the other batting the hoomin’s ear. Puss-in-boot-in-ear?

32 Patito Gigante 06.10.08 at 1:31 am

I have a.. friend.. who would like to know if white paws are appropriate for a bride who has (how shall I put this delicately?) been around the block a few times.

33 shaz2 06.10.08 at 1:43 am

Patito Gigante:

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa

34 NutherDeb 06.10.08 at 2:01 am

Haahhhaa BerthaServant, I love that movie!! “Mawwiage…”
This makes me miss my kitty’s little white feet!!

35 Annie 06.10.08 at 2:05 am

Raemie L. excellent

Patito Gigante White paws are always appropriate no matter how many blocks the bride has been around. ; )

36 foxy 06.10.08 at 3:40 am

Berthaminion (I’m calling you that from now on, I don’t care) – I think the paws give a good example of wuv, twew wuv.

I mean, really, evewyone. You have to weally, weally in wuv with someone to want to continue on with the ceremony and not just snorgle the living daylights out of the cat attached to those paws. (Yes I gave up on the ‘r into w’ situation)

Oh, and my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

37 foxy 06.10.08 at 3:41 am

And I just re-read that and it makes no sense. I’m blaming the heat;)

38 binky-mama 06.10.08 at 3:49 am

LOL @ foxy! Made perfect sense to me. (Good thing this kitteh isn’t six-fingered)

39 leah b. 06.10.08 at 4:01 am

Ok but who wants to put nail covers on those nails
maybe we can get Teho to do it for us ?!?!?! They must be pink in color to match the beans of course.
LOL

40 foxy 06.10.08 at 4:04 am

Thank you Binky-mama

And now that you’ve mentioned six-fingered, can you imagine how great this bouquet would be with extra toes??????????

And with that, i’m off to bed. Night all

41 Subhangi 06.10.08 at 9:23 am

LMAOing @ BerthaS and Patito Gigante.

My wedding dress will most probably be red, so maybe I shall make do with a red panda on my shoulder instead…

42 Theresa 06.10.08 at 12:02 pm

I am guessing that all four paws belong to the same flexible, blindingly white-pawed kitty.

43 Babs 06.10.08 at 1:14 pm

Well, Patito, I’d say if it’s the sl- I mean, bride’s first wedding, she can use the white. If it’s not, marmie paws are recommended.

44 Katrina 06.10.08 at 4:16 pm

Caitlin- Pussy Willows are fun to put into a bouquet! Plant a pussy Willow bush-you’ll be glad you did, they give wonderful full catkins every year! There are silver-grey ones and pink ones! Best wishes on your marriage!

45 Raemie L. 06.11.08 at 12:17 am

:) @ Annie

46 Katrina 06.11.08 at 2:23 pm

AuntieMame- just imagine entire dress-worth of tiny kittehs following the long, flowing hem of the dress down the aisle, swatting at it, trying to catch it and then playing around and in and out of it during the ceremony. Then letting them out on the reception dance floor in a pile. Ah, now that’s a wedding!

47 Caitlin 06.11.08 at 6:48 pm

Katrina, are you suggesting a… a… a KiITTEN TRAIN??!

*splut*

48 Katrina 06.13.08 at 8:48 pm

Yes, Caitlan, yes, I am.

I sewed my wedding dress, and as it was 22 years ago, we didn’t have the technology, but now, the sky is the limit to how many kitties one can have on a single dress.

49 SarahTee 06.26.08 at 7:36 am

Ahh, a fresh foot salad
