Today, the tradition of wedding garters is tame in comparison to France of the 14th century. In North America, the bride wears two garters; one as a keepsake garter and the other for the throw away.
Both garters are worn on the right leg just above the knee.
Before the removal of the garter, the bride first throws her bouquet to the single women.
The groom removes the throw away garter from the brides leg, sometimes he removes it with his teeth, but more appropriately nowadays he uses his hands. He does this while the bride is sat in a chair.
After the garter is removed, he then throws it to the single male guests. The male guest then takes the garter and places it on the leg of the single female guest who has caught the bouquet.
Those that catch either item are said to be the next to marry. In some instances, it is said that they will marry each other.
The keepsake garter is removed later in private during the honeymoon night.
Numerous wedding garter traditions have been obtained over the years that still seem to become rules of etiquette today.

Hot, hot, hot!! I found the greatest garter ever at everythingforweddings.ca. The garter has a pocket attached to it so you can put your lipstick, and whatever you need on your wedding day nicely stored under your dress. It was a lifesaver for pictures!!

Living in the country, my fiance and I don`t have any shops or many options for wedding supplies. We searched the internet looking for some western themed wedding accessories and found some great things at everythingforweddings.com. We found it to be a great resource for us, especially when we have nothing close to home.
