Choosing a gorgeous bridal garter set requires considering some important factors. Let us help guide you and explain exactly how to find the perfect garter set to complete your wedding look!
Fun fact: Garters came about through revamping an old and barbaric tradition where guests would rip small pieces off the bride’s dress for good luck and prosperity. In the modern world, the groom removes the brides’ garter (usually with his teeth), to the amusement of guests. Just like the bridal bouquet, the garter is tossed to a close male guest who is single.
You might have come here wondering if wearing a garter set is necessary for your special day. It can be a fun tradition that guests look forward to but it’s completely up to you!
From classically minimalistic to glitzy and glamorous, garter sets come in all kinds of styles, colors and of course, a wide price range. The key to picking the perfect one is to first determining a budget. From that baseline you can then select a style of garter that reflects your tastes and personality. A garter makes for a special memento of your big day, so get ready to pay a little more for something of heirloom-quality. Still, it doesn’t have to break the bank!
The quality of your garter is extremely important. From the ceremony to the reception, you’ll be wearing it for hours! A non-slip garter is exactly what you need if you don’t want to spend your day fussing with it! Custom garters made specifically for your leg size is a huge plus for a worry-free accessory. If opting for a one size fit all, make sure that it’s made of a good quality stretchy fabric.
Pay attention to the size of embellishments of the garter. If it’s too bulky or frilly, you might have a problem getting the garter to fit nicely under your dress. Ideally, the garter should rest flat on your leg. Bear in mind that you should select a garter with regard to your dress, and not the other way around! If you have a gorgeous form fitting dress and later fall in love with a heavily adorned garter…well, I’m sure you see the issue! If you have a lovely a-line dress with ample leg room, not a problem.
A garter is usually worn just above the knee; not too low and definitely not too high if you’d prefer not to display your underwear to everyone. They usually come in satin, silk or other materials that are comfortable against your skin and won’t cut your circulation. Both the keepsake and ‘tossing’ garter are worn on the same leg with the ‘tossing’ garter placed under the keepsake one.
