10 Garters Almost Too Beautiful to Toss!

If you are participating in the garter toss during your wedding reception, you’ll need to make sure to have a photo-worthy garter! Originally, these articles were used to hold up stockings. Once elastic allowed stockings to stay up on their own, however, they became less necessary – even more so as stockings have fallen out of fashion. However, donning a garter on one’s wedding day is still considered a fun tradition. Because this is a hidden accessory, many brides use the garter as a way to bring “something blue” into their ensemble. It’s also an opportunity to be more playful and embrace a theme, such as you or your future spouse’s favorite sports team or alma mater. There are some truly stunning lace and even crystal-embellished creations that will make you want to make sure you get the garter back from whichever lucky fellow catches it!
