    3 min read

    Planning a wedding inspired by the timeless elegance of the Gilded Age? One of high-end luxury handmade wedding garter with vintage lace from The Garter Girl were used in a wedding inspiration designed to capture the romantic essence of this opulent era.

    ​

    We collaborated with Dara from Bespoke & Beloved on a wedding inspiration editorial photo shoot photographed by Jenn Marie Creative Co. featuring a stunning handmade wedding garter crafted with ivory satin and off-white vintage lace. The photo inspiration was a visual feast, showcasing a bride adorned with something blue bridal shoes, a colorful flower crown, and a fitted lace wedding dress. For the occasion, I custom designed a vintage-themed wedding garter with satin and lace to add a touch of historic charm to your special day.

The bride, dressed in a fitted lace wedding dress, radiated vintage charm, enhanced by the delicate handmade garter made with ivory satin and off-white vintage lace.
