It’s a Tossup

June 24th, 2009 @ 3:34 pm by Mrs. Bruschetta

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 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 #2 the best, but the black background is really cool too.
