Did you know? The tradition of tossing the garter dates back to 14th Century France. They believed that any piece of the brides attire was considered lucky. A tradition was started where the bride would "toss" her garter to the guests and the recipient would receive good luck and fortune. Nowadays, the groom tosses the garter to a group of unmarried men and whomever catches the garter is thought to be the next to marry.
The garter is typically placed on the bride's right leg above the knee. If a second garter is worn (one to throw and a second keepsake garter) they are both worn on the right leg with the tossing garter sitting just above the knee and the keepsake garter above the tossing garter. Many brides purchase blue garters as their "Something Blue" in the traditional good luck poem.
We offer a variety of garters including some of the most beautiful themed garters and some come as sets with a tossing garter included!
