Every bride wants her wedding day to be both special and unique. She also wants to follow the traditions and customs that have been part of the celebrations for years - sometimes generation after generation. This is very easy to do by taking those traditions and giving them a slight twist in order to make them personal to the happy couple. Lets take the bridal garter - a simple, customary wedding day accessory which has become an essential part of the ceremony. It can be worn during the day as part of the "something old, something new" tradition and then thrown during the reception in what is known as the garter toss. We show you how to create a unique garter, either for your own wedding day or as a special gift for a friend or family member.
