Seems like purple might be a popular color with brides lately! I’ve been designing a lot of purple custom wedding garters. This wedding garter is a version of my Vintage Corset garter style, but with a lavender purple accent.

What is your something special? This custom wedding garter features an earring from the bride’s grandmother. It is an ivory lace background with a cluster of sparkles and pearls surrounding the gold and blue earring. The bride’s mother sent it to me as a surprise present for her! I love being a part of special gifts like this that will be passed down generations.

Which Garter is the Tossing Garter?

I get this question quite often: Which wedding garter is the tossing garter?

The tossing garter is really which ever one you want it to be! You should toss the one that you don’t want to save, making that the tossing garter. That said, when you buy a wedding garter set, it comes with two garters. One is to keep and one is to toss.When you toss the tossing garter, you don’t have to worry about getting it back and then you can have your main garter to save for after your wedding.

Typically, the tossing garter is plain and less expensive compared to main wedding garter. So, if you buy two garters together, the tossing garter is the smaller one or the one that is the most basic. This isn’t always the case, but typically if you buy a wedding garter set, the tossing garter will be a simple version of your main garter.

Hope this helps! Check out more wedding garter questions and answers in my garter 101 series.
