    There's nothing more special than being able to gift a custom wedding garter that was designed using family materials, especially when that materia is your mom's wedding dress. Today's real The Garter Girl bride wedding photographs were shared by the bride's mom. Cue the tears!


    Bride, Madison's mother, Cassie, shared these wonderful wedding day photos with us as she helped her daughter place her custom bridal garter on the morning of her wedding. These moments are some of our favorites that wedding photographers capture...but, perhaps we're a bit biased!

    This real wedding garter shares the special moments between mother and daughter on wedding day. As the bride is getting ready for her walk down the aisle, it is so special to incorporate mom into the process for these photo worthy moments that will last for generations.

    Madison's bridal garter is a custom designed garter using family materials. To create this beautiful heirloom, I used pieces from Madison's Mother's 1987 wedding dress. Here are some of the kind words her Mother shared with my via email...

    "The garter that you made from my 1987 wedding dress (which you only had a very tiny piece to work with) was PERFECT!!! It meant so much to both of us that she was wearing my dress, without having to actually wear my dress. Thanks you for making this for us – it meant the world to us both!" - Cassie

    Choosing to order a custom garter design is the perfect way to have a unique bridal garter for your wedding day, and beyond. Bridal garters are a wedding heirloom we hope you'll cherish for years to come and possibly even pass down in your family. Custom garters are special. They are unique. And using family materials such as a wedding dress or even a favorite clothing item from a relative is the special way to share your wedding day with them.
