The Short Answer
The basic answer is this: It does not matter which leg wears your wedding garter on your big day. You can put it on your right or the left leg. You can wear it high or low on your leg. It doesn't matter! There isn't a right or wrong way to wear your bridal garter. I know, it was just that simple!
Comfort Counts
There are different traditions and rumors about which leg should get the garter, but the one that matters the most is comfort. What feels the best to you? What is natural to you?
Wear your garter where it is the most comfortable for you and that's the proper leg!
With all of this advice in mind, be sure to try on your wedding garter – and all of your wedding accessories – before the morning of your wedding. This way, if there are any problems or necessary adjustments, you can take care of them before the wedding.
Happy wedding!
