Wedding Garters - Your Something Blue?

Wedding Garters - Your Something Blue?

Wedding garters are regarded by many brides as an essential wedding accessory. Garters were originally used to hold up stockings. Often brides choose a blue garter to represent "something blue". In biblical times the colour blue represented purity and this may be the reason for wearing blue on your wedding day.
The garter is traditionally worn on the right leg. Some brides choose to wear two, one to keep and one to toss. The tradition of the garter toss was revived in the 20th century after the tradition was taken over by the throwing of the bouquet.
