    Garters - something I totally shouldnt worry about, right? WHY have I become the girl that everything must be perfect for?? lol

    We got a Redskins throw away garter because I wanted to do something funny for the fella...he loves the Redskins! But I want to wear something much classier and prettier! No one will see it, but I also know my professional photog friend Tim will take an awesome garter shot (hes phenominal, really) and I want it to be worth photographing!

    Any advice! My dress is Ivory so i'm trying to stick to that shade...and I've been checking out Etsy, but havent spent too much time so if you know of a great seller there that would be great too!

    Thanks!

    Check out Florrie Mitton on etsy, her garters are so pretty! If I hadn't discovered her until after I'd already started sewing mine, I would have totally bought from her!

    Just checked florriemitton - her stuff is BEAUTIFUL but $65+ for a garter was not in the budget! :( Thank God I've bought one already!

    @tweds I know, I happened to show my mom the one from her shop that I love just to show it off, and she thought $80 was so crazy for a garter, then I realized it really is a lot.  Now she wants to try to make it for me but I don't need it that bad.  Cute of her to offer though.

    @star - Every single one is pure gorgeousness. It's super-sweet of your Mom to try to copy it for you! I had two criteria - blue and bling (so my hubby can find it under the dress LOL - j/k)!!
