I like to think of myself as decisive, but I gotta admit: At times, I’m really wishy-washy. As in, read-all-the-birthday-cards-in-the-section-at-Hallmark-before-making-a-choice indecisive. And now, here’s another case in point: Garter-maker extraordinaire Peterene sent along some pictures of color options for our four toss garters. I’m so torn as to which would look best — so I’d love to hear what you think!
My keepsake one will be similar to the top garter in this set:
Should I opt for toss garters with…
1) Brightly-colored ribbon in the middle — each will have the same design/style as the toss garter pictured above — with black on the edges?
2) The same idea as number one, but with ivory (instead of black) surrounding our four wedding colors?
3) An ivory — or black — center, with the bright colors on the outside? (Similar to this style, but with a flat bow instead of a flower, and a wider bit of color on each side.)

I love how the colors seem to *pop* most on option one — but wonder if the black edges are too, um, edgy for me. It all comes down to whether I’m looking for a fun, bridal-y set, or something a bit sexier.
Which would you pick if you were me?

I love the last option. Having one center color makes them look more cohesive to me. Good luck choosing!
I like them with the black, it does make the colors pop! I got my garters from Peterene and have referred several friends to her, she’s great and I LOVE my garters!
I like the ivory with the color in the center. Very cute!
I think the last option matches your keepsake one best… if you happen to like matchy-matchy stuff 
I think the second option would work good too.
I’d go w/ #1 or #3. I like who the colors pop against the black, but I think the white looks more bridy
I vote for the first one. Sexy, but the bright colors make it fun.

I like the ivory options. I enjoy option 3 the best. The bright colors are awesome!
I like #2 the best, but the black background is really cool too.
I like the ivory w/ bright color. I too am going to purchase the same garter.
i love the first option and the black banded ones. the ivory ones seem a little dull.
I like 3 for a fun, flirty and more bridal look. I actually think it’s a little sexier too, unless you’re going to go all the way to black lace…
hello! i just came across this post about your garter decision. not sure what you’ve decided to do, but if you are still in the market, i’d love to make one for you. email me!

My mister and I are planning a vibrant summer soiree celebrating our passions – including food and Philly – and when we make it official, we’ll have been together for eight years!
