Garters

Tossing of the garter or "flinging the stocking," as it was known,  has its roots beginning around the 14th or 15th century in an old English ceremony.  It is said to bring much good luck to the recipient.  Continue the tradition with a garter created just the way you like it.  Styles range from traditional to fun and flirty.

 

You choose the options to make your garter unique.   Add your monogram, wedding date, a charm, crystal buckle or sparkles to make your garter your own.  Make your ideas come to life.

 

 

Traditional

 

This garter is created in the satin color of your choice with a bow accent.  Select from a single or double row of gathering accented with bow.

 

Monogrammed

 

Monogrammed garters feature your choice of a simple patch or a fun custom covered button with one, two or three letter style for a unique touch.  Prefer a design instead of a monogram?  We can help you choose a design to match the theme of your wedding

 

Specialty Fabrics

 

Your garter can also be made from other fabrics at your request.  Specialty fabrics include silk, prints, fabrics ordered to match your dress or your bridesmaids’ attire can also be used.  We’ll be glad to use your fabrics.  Contact us with your ideas and let us help you make them a reality.

 

Specialty fabric garters are not available for rush service as these fabrics must be ordered to meet your request.  Additional charges may apply. We’d love to quote this for you.

 

Satin and Lace

 

Traditional lace garters are offered in white or ivory with a bow accent.  Other satin colors available by special request.  Lace styles may vary depending upon availability.  Monogrammed buttons may be added to lace garters for an additional charge.

 


 

 Extras and Add-ons

 

Date patch

 

Add your wedding date to your garter.  A small patch will be prepared and stitched to the inside of your garter.  Due to size limitations only numeric date formats and block or script fonts are available for this feature.

 

 

Charms

 

A great way to show your personality.  Most charms are available in sterling silver.  Please list first and second choice in notes, as charms are ordered per your specifications, some charms may require additional production time.

 

Swarovski Crystal Buckle

 

Bring a little sparkle to your garter with a Swarovski crystal buckle.  Choose from square or round styles.

 

 

Scattered Crystals

 

Need even more sparkle?  Swarovski crystals will be scattered along the front of your garter.

 

 

Swarovski Crystal Heart Charm

 

A sparkling crystal heart will catch the light as it dangles from your garter.

 

 

Add a Color

 

Want more color?  A second color ribbon can be sewn to the the lower edge of your garter.

 

 

Extra Monogrammed Buttons

 

Order extra buttons to match those on your garter to personalize more of your wedding accessories.

 


 

Garter Sizing

 

All sizes are approximations as each garter is handcrafted and can vary slightly.

 

Average size garters are about 14-15" around.  This garter will stretch fairly comfortably to approximately 20-21” around.  We recommend moving up to a plus size garter for comfort if you are close to the top range of these measurements.

 

Plus size garters measure about 16-17" around and will stretch comfortably to approximately 26-27” around.  If you need a special size, we are happy assist you with making a garter that stretches comfortably to your size.  Simply select “other” when choosing your size and indicate measurement required in note field.

 

Your garter should be perfectly sized and comfortable.  Be sure to choose the size that will fit you best.  Traditionally, the garter is worn about 3 inches above the knee.  It should feel soft and snug but not overly tight.
