BRAID STYLE
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Tight, uniform loops create a structured, symmetrical look. Every loop is the same size and spacing — clean, precise, and traditional.
BEST USE
Classic mums of any size. Great for first-time builders and anyone who wants a timeless, school-spirit look.

BRAID STYLE
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Loops are shaped to evoke a heart motif, giving the braid a romantic, expressive character. Distinct from the Legacy Loop — the loop shape itself carries the sentiment.
BEST USE
Senior mums and any build where the personal touch is part of the story. Pairs beautifully with personalized acrylic charms.
BRAID STYLE
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Open, rounded loops give a softer, more flowing feel than the Military style. The loops are slightly larger and less rigid, building a layered, graceful silhouette.
BEST USE
Senior mums and legacy designs where a flowing, layered look is the goal. Pairs especially well with two-tone ribbon combinations.
BRAID STYLE
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Wide, flat loops create maximum volume and a bold, high-impact look. Inspired by Louisiana homecoming traditions — bigger, bolder, and harder to miss.
BEST USE
Statement-size mums (Deluxe, Texas Size). Perfect when you want the braid to be the centerpiece, not just the frame.
BRAID STYLE
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Each loop has a half-twist built in, creating a dimensional, dynamic look that catches light from every angle. Modern and eye-catching — no two loops look exactly the same.
BEST USE
Metallic and two-tone ribbon combinations. Any mum where you want a contemporary, fashion-forward look that still honors Texas tradition.
BRAID STYLE
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Loops of varying sizes and angles stack on top of each other for a playful, high-energy look. No two sections look the same — controlled chaos that reads as bold personality.
BEST USE
Any mum that needs to make a statement. Great for builders who want something that stands out from the standard styles.

BRAID STYLE
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Rhinestones, gems, or metallic accents are woven directly into the braid structure — not added on top. The bling is part of the braid, not an afterthought.
BEST USE
Deluxe and Texas Size mums. Ideal when you want maximum sparkle without a separate bling step. The ultimate upgrade.
