Garters! Can I see yours?

Marilyn, on September 2, 2012 at 10:38 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 44

So now that I have most of my other wedding accessories I am starting to think about my garter.

I tried to make one and it was an epic fail!! So now I am going to buy one. Can I see yours to get some ideas?

Also, what is the point of two garters? You toss one, but what do you do with the other? Why do you need two?

    Well my MIL's was in my purse for something borrowed lol..i didnt wear one..nor did we toss the bouquet bec. there wasn't any singles there.

    But we did an anniversary dance and I gave my daughter's little bouquet to my Aunt and Uncle who were married 44 years.

    I dont think i even kept my bouquet..it was too heavy to carry and it woudlont have lived lol..so we dumped all the flowers.

    Life is bk to normal whew! I'm relieved.

    And, the point of the 2, is so you can keep the pretty, big one as a memento. The little, plainer one is the tosser.

    We had two brides, but weren't doing a garter toss. So NotFroofy wore one of the garters, and I wore the other. I will agree, though, that keeping one and tossing the other is the more usual approach.

    Soon to be, wow those are so so beautiful!!!

    2d, I love those colors, as my wedding is navy!

    Haha Rachel that is awesome!!!!

    I just don't know what kind of garter I want!! I was thinking of doing some camo, since FH is in the marines and a huge country boy, but I am more attracted to the lacy type of garters like soon to be's.

    Do the garter's have to match?? Any ideas how I can incorporate lace and camo?

    If you buy garter sets, they typically will match. However, if you want to make them, or buy more than one set and mix them, there is no real reason they have to match. Typically, only you and your new husband see the keeper one.

    Here is what we are doing. Every member of our bridal party will be wearing garter and one of these flasks, so that at some point during the ceremony we will be stopping the ceremony to take a little nip.... Of course the male flasks are for the guys and the females will be for girls. So the FH and I will end up with a set.

    That is really pretty! However my colors are a tab darker than that, and I really want lace, because I have lace detail on my sash...

    What about the center one here?

    Its lacy, but yet I could incorporate the marines for FH....

    It desn't have blue though... but I could do blue another place.

    @Desire, I love the idea of incorporating something for FH. That is why I really want to do the marine camo thing... even though its not really my style.

    Again, the top is Air Force, but I'm sure you could take the tag off, and the bottom one is perfect. It's navy blue CAMO! Smiley smile Alright, this is my last picture post lol

    Wow love love those options Desire!!! I really love the lace one with the blue flower! And the camo one with the dog tag!

    So here's the new question, do I get a garter I love, or one that will mean a lot to FH Traditionally are garter's for FH?

    What if u got the big garter that you are in love with, and find some sort of smaller toss one for ur hubby that he would like? Maybe u could find a navy camo small garter that would go with your glam one Smiley smile
