Bridal Garters – What You Need To Know
One of the many traditions seen at weddings is the bride throwing the bouquet and the groom throwing the garter. This dates back to the early 1300s when it was believed that wedding guests could enjoy luck if they had a piece of their bride's outfit. This resulted in them tearing pieces off the wedding dress, taking it home for good luck.
Thank goodness that tradition is behind us and there is no risk of your beautifully crafted wedding dress being ripped to shreds the minute you both finish your “I do's.” That tradition has evolved into the custom we know today, where everyone laughs as the groom reaches under the brides dress to take off the garter, throwing it to all the single men at the wedding, whoever is lucky enough to catch the garter is the next groom.
Weddings have evolved greatly these days with some weddings being a small ceremony with everyone dressed casually to the traditional wedding with brides in white with a garter on her thigh. The wedding garter is the fun part of the day, it's often a highlight of the day when guests and the couple all have a good laugh together.
Modern bridal ...
... garters are so much more than they were centuries ago, they are not just a plain satin band around your thigh, they are thought out, carefully designed and beautiful to incorporate into your wedding design with ease. Blue garters are still one of the most popular options or white lace garters with a blue ribbon. This helps to add some tradition into the wedding when it comes to “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue,” which is seen as good luck by many brides still today.
These days you can order custom made bridal garters online, ensuring that the garter you choose blends into your wedding dress design and overall theme. It's always a good idea for your garter to match the colour theme of your wedding, you can add satin flowers to match your bouquet or pearls to match your dress or jewellery. If you're having a traditional wedding, your bridal garter can be something fun, something that reflects your personality.
Wearing a garter is not going to be comfortable, you're not used to something being tied around your thigh under your dress. You need to know it isn't going to fall down halfway through the ceremony. You don't want to be pulling it up the whole day. It needs to be comfortable, sittings snugly against your thigh, but not too tight, remember your husband is going to have to remove the garter with ease.
Choose a garter manufacturer that has an excellent reputation for their custom made garters with a host of materials, ribbons and gemstones to choose from. You should be able to determine what you want, along with the size you need to ensure your garter reflect you and your wedding theme.
