Everything You Need To Know About A Wedding Garter
I've been at this whole wedding garter designing and hand making this for a long time! I've written over 1,000 blog posts about wedding garters (Yes, 1,000!) and given so much advice with everything from how to wear a garter, to who buys the garter to how many garters to purchase and much, much more. In addition to all of the sewing and designing, I've written quite literally everything there is to know about a wedding garter!
I don't know how it is possible to write that much about such a small, modern wedding heirloom, but I've don't it! I think it might have something to do with the wedding garter being the oldest wedding tradition (True!) and the fact that my garters are just so fun and pretty, but perhaps I'm being biased! And, this is a whole other post for another day!
