With the bridal garter toss being an essential portion of any UK wedding, this part needs ample preparation. The garter is worn by the bride under her gown, before the groom actually removes it and throws it to the mass of bachelors present during the wedding reception. From land-based stores to online sellers, wedding garters are available in a host of designs and sizes. Most types of garters are fashioned from lace materials and accented with details. Apart from the lace type, silk garters can be obtained as well from many designers. Some wedding shops also permit the bride to be to customise the wedding garter.
