By: Janet VerraIf a sister or friend will soon get married, chances are you'll be hearing someone needs to buy a wedding garter. The wedding garter has become quite known for its relativity for any bride and in some cases it is considered as one of the most essential accessories of the bride. Many still believe that bride cannot walk down the aisle it, though this may sound hilarious but who would think others got upset without a garter on their leg. Wedding garters come in different colors to choose from, however many brides tend to grab the opportunity for the garter to reflect their something blue. Something blue comes from the traditional wedding rhyme: something old, something new... something borrowed, something blue... and a silver sixpence for her shoe.
Because wedding garters are often white in color, many brides tend to incorporate something blue on this accessory. Some ways could be, the bride will wear one made of blue materials, the bride will attach blue bow or gem on the white garter. The belief is, adding something blue to bride's outfit symbolized its loyalty and purity. The wedding garter has seemingly come in a long way though, from just being an ordinary item to help hold up stockings until it became a part of wedding tradition.
The throwing of the garter derived from an old English custom known as ''flinging the stocking.'' This is where the guests will invade the bridal chamber and steal the bride's stockings, then take turns flinging them. Whoever first made the stocking landed on groom's nose will be the next to marry. During the 14th century, the concept of garter had become highly honored where the bride needs to be rushed to the altar by hordes of guests competing for a prize. Today, this tradition has evolved and the groom itself is the one who will remove the garter, which are usually worn at the sexier mid-thigh level of the bride, then he will tosses it to his bachelor pals.
