    Learn More About Wedding Garters

    Similar to the tradition of tossing a bridal bouquet, wedding garters are traditionally removed during the reception and tossed to the waiting crowd. The folklore is that whoever catches the wedding garter will be the next to get married. Wedding garters are also a sentimental keepsake from your wedding day. If you’d like to keep a garter, be sure to purchase a wedding garter set—one to toss and one to save. Even if you prefer not to toss your garter during the celebration, modern brides often still wear one as part of their bridal lingerie and a reminder of their day.

    Your wedding garter style is totally up to you. Traditional styles often include satin and lace and modern styles come in many different colors like purple wedding garters, red wedding garters, or blue wedding garters that can double as your “something blue.” Look for a wedding garter style that fits comfortably on your leg, won’t rub against your other leg as you walk, and fits well under your dress. Etsy sellers can help you customize your wedding garter by adding special details, embroidery, or mixing colors and fabrics.

    You’ll find all different designs of wedding garters on Etsy, including traditional elastic wedding garters and wedding garter belt styles in a variety of sizes. From rhinestone and pearl beading to lace accents, ribbons, and more, Etsy sellers design all different styles of wedding garters. Many wedding garters are sold as a pair so that you have one to keep and one to toss during the garter toss. Wedding garters in bright and unexpected colors are a popular choice that express your personal style. Find white, blue, purple, red, and black wedding garters on Etsy along with many other colors and patterns. You can work with an Etsy seller to create a custom wedding garter set with the colors, accents, and styles you prefer so you have a one-of-a-kind keepsake from your special day.

    With the practice of the wedding garter being so personal, it’s a perfect opportunity to add a custom touch to your special day. Order a one-of-a-kind wedding garter from a shop on Etsy and surprise your beloved with an intimate phrase or inside joke. Get your new last name embroidered on the garter, or choose a unique wedding garter that matches the color of your future husband’s suit or tie. Accent your garter with a ribbon inscribed with your wedding date for a souvenir you’ll cherish for years. Order a matching garter and lingerie set for a completely cohesive look that your spouse won’t soon forget.
