One Garter or Two?

Brides are often confused about garters.  If they have two garters, should one be worn on one leg and one on the other, or two garters on one leg?  I am not an advocate of the two garter system.  It's just my personal opinion, but I don't like the look of two garters on one leg.  If the garters are a little tight, you end up with a roll between the garters, plus if the garters are tight, you have two things to cut off your circulation, not to mention how uncomfortable that would be to wear all day.  You also have to make sure to wear the toss garter as the lower one on your leg so the groom can get that one off for the garter toss.  If you go with the one garter on one leg and one on the other method, you have to make sure the groom gets the correct one to throw, and if both of  the garters are tight, you have two uncomfortable legs to deal with all day.

Yes, this does have to with our business.  We make heirloom bridal garters that you don't toss.  In another blog post, we have advice on how to do the garter toss in a more stylish as opposed to embarrassing way (groom's head up the bride's dress).  We also suggest putting an inexpensive garter in the groom's pocket ahead of time, and then when he removes your heirloom garter, he puts that one in his pocket, makes the switch, and pulls out the toss garter to throw.  That way you can have some great pictures of your beautiful garter with your leg looking alluring and sexy instead of sausage-like, or resembling a store display with many garters.

For all of the above reasons, that is why we make our Garter Glitz garters in sizes XS-XXL, and we don't make toss garters.  We have had people tell us that we need to make toss garters to match our heirloom garters.  We can't seem to make a toss garter as inexpensively as you can buy them elsewhere and still be proud of it.   We put all of our design and style into one garter that you can wear all day and keep it for yourself as a lovely memento.  Down the road, when you're feeling sentimental about your wedding, it's easy to pull out that little garter that you saved and reminisce about your big day.  Better yet, how wonderful to have something that you wore on your wedding day to give to a daughter to wear on her special day!
