Who hasn't seen an episode of this show? The show exemplifies the southern tradition of "Homecoming" and Friday Night Lights. We have homecoming for church, homecoming for schools, reunions etc. Obviously, we love to revel in the nostalgia of what was. In the south, we do everything big and celebrate every occasion and we love our Friday night football games. Our girls start early dreaming of being one of the "big girls" wearing a full length mum and going to the Homecoming dance.
We recently acquired the cutest ceramic boots that we can do arrangements in for the drill team or majorettes. This is an example of a Tyler Junior College Apache Belle drill team boot. It is decked out with trinkets, streamers and school colors. We can personalize it with your girls name. These are really nice keepsake containers that the "Belle" can treasure. We also did a boot for the local High Schools. The kids love it.
Recently I was interviewed by The Tyler Morning Telegraph about the tradition of Homecoming Mums. As I stated in that article, "when the tradition started it was about supporting your school. Now it has evolved into a fashionista kind of experience. With every mum being larger and better than everyone else's." History tells us that the first homecoming was held at Baylor University in 1909. With every year being bigger and better than the last. As for the guys, they have boutonnieres, or garters. These are worn around the upper arm over their shirt. They consist of streamers, trinkets, cowbells, etc. Very similar to a mum, but smaller. So, come join us for a football game that is an "experience."
