Weddingbee boards

Hi ladies!

I just ordered my garter on Etsy for a fabulous price. I am not doing a garter toss or anything so I just wanted something simple and affordable for myself to keep. I also wanted mine to be Navy blue, because that's one of my wedding colors, and also qualifies as a "something blue." I thought this was pretty. I saw many others I liked, but they were not in my budget. I have been trying to be as frugal as possible :) Anyway! Here is my garter:

And I would LOVE to see yours :) I love looking at pretty things. Haha.

Ooooh, fun! Here's my garter! I won't be doing a garter toss either, want to keep this pretty!

Like LaraW, I'm going with a Florrie Minton garter---I'm still trying to decide (!) but this is the one I keep going back to and is probably the 'one'.

@cz1789:  That garter is very pretty! I was stuck choosing too, spent days trying to decide. They're all so beautiful!

So gorgeous!! Florrie Mitton's are so beautiful... I just didn't really have the money for one. And I love your handmade one, longdistanceplanning, so special! :)

Can't we buy one to keep and buy one to toss, like with flowers?  I want to keep my pretty one and toss a cheaper less expensive/meaningful one, since I doubt whoever gets it will really care very much about it...   

@xokaleneox:  Yeah! That's traditionally what is done. A lot of times, you can buy the garters in a set. You keep the prettier one, and toss the simpler one :)

Those Florrie Minton ones are beautiful!

I made mine recently.  They were very easy, and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out:

Ooorah!

I got a keepsake one from Esty and bought a cheap toss one from the craft store.  Here's the sample of the one I bought from Esty:

Swoon, these are all gorgeous. This is the garter I made for my bestie who's wedding I'm in in April. Ignore the strange lighting, it's a gorgeous warm ivory/oytser silk. 

This is for the garter toss! FI is a big Browns fan and we're getting married in Cleveland. I saw the idea of a football garter toss (put the garter on a football) on Pinterest, so I thought this would be perfect. I'll probably get a pretty one, too, to keep :)

@Treejewel19:  Sure!  It was from Make This Day Special.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/makethisdayspecial

And I just noticed now I had not one but two typos in my first post!  I know it's Etsy, not Esty! lol oops =)

@Treejewel19:  No problem.  Good luck finding a garter!  =)

@siimplycraziie: Where did you guys get the Zelda one?? I am the one who loves Zelda, but FI likes it too, so I might have to get that one. Either that or the Chicago Bears lol!

I also purchased mine on Etsy

she made the bow and lace a bit smaller, but I haven't taken a picture since I received them!

@Eireann:  I wanted navy because of wedding colors also and counting as my something blue!

@TriciaAndDazzling:  I love yourbaggage!! And how they match!
