Wedding garters give your wedding ensemble a kick

Wedding garters may seem like kind of an old, outdated tradition to younger girls who grew up in more risqué, open times than their parents, but many of those younger girls soon understand that those wedding garters actually let a bride be racy and sexy on a day when everyone expects her to be demure and pure. Think about it: wedding garters are actually an integral part of the reception, and the fact that the groom removes the wedding garter in front of everyone is pretty sexy! It is a great precursor to the wedding night, and the right garters can make that sexy moment even more appealing.

Garters are often the last thing a bride thinks about when she’s putting together her wedding ensemble, and that is not necessarily a bad thing. If you choose your wedding garter last, you have the opportunity to look at a wide variety of wedding garters and pick one you really love that coordinates with your attire. After all, if you have a sexy, chic strapless gown, you don’t want to look at wedding garters that are massive, frilly, and a little bit Victorian. By the same token, a Renaissance theme bride won’t want to look at wedding garters that look like they came straight out of Victoria’s Secret.

Garters are also chosen last since they give the more superstitious of brides a chance to fulfill their “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” adage. You’ve seen those blue garters everywhere, right? That’s what they’re for! Of course, you may not want to borrow your sister-in-law’s garter, but your grandmother’s antique handmade lace wedding garters would be a beautiful addition to any bride’s trousseau. No matter the purpose, garters are a fun and sexy way to spice up your wedding day.
