“Gar Ter” Get Me One!

“Gar Ter” Get Me One!

When Mr. Powder Puff and I first became engaged, we knew immediately there were certain wedding traditions that we did not want to uphold. Namely, the garter and bouquet tosses. We find them to be awkward, uncomfortable, and (in the mister’s groomsmen’s hands) prime time for some R-rated moments. No thank you!

Now, since we are foregoing the traditional bouquet and garter tosses, I am not in the market for a garter. But if you are, you must must MUST check out the gorgeous creations over at Bleu Garters. They have some totally swoon-worthy creations like these:

So lovely! And just because we’re not tossing the garter, doesn’t mean I can’t wear one, right?

Are you doing a garter toss? Where did you find your garter?

Those are beautiful! Mr. CC wants to do a garter toss, and I still don’t have one to wear…Guess I should get on that!

No, we aren’t doing the garter or bouquet tosses. We’ll only have a couple of single people at our wedding. I may as well just hand the garter or bouquet to them. LOL

Thank goodness there are others who feel this way too! Whenever I was at a wedding, that’s the moment dread the most. Its just so awkward, everyone jut staring to at all the singles. Plus I always thought it was weird for the groom to go under the dress while everyone is watching too. So obviously, we’re not either going to be doing the bouquet or garter toss. Never considered just wearing a garter for the heck of it though . . . will definitely do so now!

Thank you for posting this! My fiancee wants to do a garter toss and I haven’t been too enthusiastic about it until I saw your post. Those garters are gorgeous!

I have never liked the garter toss, but if my garter was that beautiful I might have to show it off

I love the garter/bouquet toss, so we’re definitely doing it! My garter is a nod to UGA and a surprise for Mr. Lab!
