Where did you get your garter?

FH is adamant for some reason that he wants to do a garter toss so I'm letting him have this one. My question is - where do I purchase one? Do I have to order online or can I find it in a store somewhere? And if I do order online - how can I be sure it will fit properly? Thanks

    Etsy! I can't remember which shop... I loved it, but it was so heavy and wouldn't stay up, not even the smaller one. I attempted to wear the one with the bow for the wedding (it was around my ankle by the end of the ceremony) and I wrapped the pretty one around my bouquet.

    Etsy. Except my bow is navy blue to match our wedding colors. I measured my thigh too and it is a bit too large so I may have my friend take it in so it doesn't fall off.

    I didn't want to do a garter toss either, but FH insisted (only because he really wants to throw it on a football for his guys to catch...he's a weirdo). Anyhow, my friend is going to make me a wedding shadow box, so she said that I should get a "nice" garter to keep.

    I purchased this one from Etsy and as others have said, it does slip. I'm okay with this because I only intend to put it on right before the garter toss. It is beautiful though, so I'm excited it will be in my box!

    I ordered off Etsy. I just measured my thigh, plus I used double sided fabric tape to keep it in place. It stayed put the whole night - we did not do a garter toss. I wore it just because FH liked the idea.

    Etsy has so many unique and beautiful options. You can message the seller and ask them about sizing options.

    If you're looking for something to fit a theme try etsy. If you're looking for something cheap and don't care how it looks try Michaels, A.C. Moore, or Walmart.

    Hobby Lobby… and then it stayed in the package because we forgot about it. I was fine with that because I didn't even want to to a garter toss.
