A post on Garters on Polka Dot Bride today got me thinking about garters. I think we are going to do the wedding garter thing, It probably will be a bit of a laugh, and I have dodgy legs at the best of time hopefully not so bad with a fake tan. But thankfully my dress is quite large so FH can probably hide most of my leg. So I thought that I better start searching for my garter as there are so many to trawl through on Etsy.....

Pretty garter. I like the cute little horseshoe which is supposed to bring luck in tradition. Just wondering whether the ribbon will tickle my leg. Sells for 34.99 POUNDs.

This one is quite cute and feminine. I like the white of the fabric. Have been pretty anti pearl with my accessories. But I don't mind these pearls. Sells for $26.50 USD.

Cute and simple. I like the lack of detail. Just makes a beautiful simplistic garter.

I like the idea that this garter comes with its matching garter. That way you can keep one and surprise your FH later when you finally go back to the hotel :)
I still have no idea what I'm going to do. But I will purchase one and wear it, even if it does only end up being a surprise for FH back at the hotel. Will discuss with FH when he gets back from overseas and find out what he thinks about it, whether he would be comfortable doing a garter toss.
What are you going to do on your day?
As we are not having a formal reception, just a dinner, we won't be doing the garter toss, or not sure about the bouquet maybe when we leave but definitely not the garter toss, but I would still like to wear one, just to surprise FH. I like the idea of having two, that last picture you attached, is gorgeous! Love the idea where you do the throw with one, and then keep the other one for later :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I posted on the vogue forums and its helped me to decide that we won't do the garter toss, just the bouquet toss. As it will probably be quite awkward for everyone. And i'll just wear a garter for good luck and to surprise FH later on. Had a quick discussion with him tonight and he was like whatever you want, and I said weird and awkward and he said sorted. So easy decision on that one, haha.
Deletehehe well thats good then that your FH was happy with whatever you wanted! Boys are so good when they are happy with whatever we want :)
DeleteNot long to go now :)
