Anyone having a garter?

Definitely! It's my something blue - this one by Jasper Conran at Debenhams

Yea, kinda have to if I'm wearing a corset and fishnets.

This is mine:

And i've had it personalised with our wedding date.

I'm having one! xx

Yep. I have sewn a silver sixpence in with blue cotton and will be giving OH hers in a box full of other stuff on the morning of the wedding. She would never think of a garter or a sixpence.

Its only a novelty and will be taking it off after the ceremony.

Ah what a lovely idea Vikster! What else you putting in your box of goodies?

Its her something old and blue in case she forgets! Ive got some Mrs K...-C.... slippers, her fragrance to wear on the day, a soppy lovey dovey note of how we met, etc, a card, garter, her favourite cereal to have for breakfast...urrrm and im stuck for anything else really.

I'm going to buy a really slutty one as no one will see it as it will be hidden under my virginal wedding dress. ?

Naboo - you MUST have a look at Florrie & Mitton garters on Libertyinlove. Beautiful.

CB they really are beautiful, problem now is which one!!

Yep am wearing one - my MIL2B has lent me hers, and it has a tiny blue bow on it so it will be either by something borrowed or something blue - not sure yet!

J'taime, Forever and Eden are my favourites.

I know it's not a garter but I bought a beautiful vintage necklace from Jo Barnes Vintage (who is amazing and disgustingly lovely) and thought you might like to see a picture, Nabs.

I ended up with 3 garters!!!!

My mum made me one, incorporating some lace from a hankie she was given on her wedding day by my grandmother (so one of my 'something old'), she also sewed some blue fabric in to it..... Sounds weird but it was really pretty and I love the fact it's a little keepsake. As I little joke, hidden on the inside, she also added one of my old school name tag thingies, you know the ones you had to have on your uniform/PE kit!!! It had blue type, and obviously was my maiden name! Goodness knows why she still had one of those in her sewin kit!!

My MOH bought me the pretty Jaspar Conran one too.

Then finally my SIL bought me a Spurs one, as all of husbands family are mad fans...

Anyway - I put all three on for a photo but just wore one for the day!

CB im blaming you for this.....just hit Jo Barnes' website and came across the feather cuff.WOW i think i must have this.

Oooo thats beautiful! Im not wearing a necklace because of the detail on the neckline of my ress but need a vintage bracelet, do you have that sites web address so i can have a look see?

Im torn between Forever, Deco, Alice and Gliteratti (which doesnt really go with anything ir stand as my something blue but is stunning!!)

Vikster - tell her I recommended you, I'm sure she'll look after you! Everything comes so beautifully packaged, too.

Nabs, thank you! It's an original vintage piece but she also does a lot of vintage inspired things too. You can find her at https://www.jobarnesvintage.com/

Cheers for that, she has some lovely stuff, will keep any eye on their for any braclets she gets in

If you know the sort of thing you're after, drop her a line and she will keep an eye out for you.

Oh fab i will do, thanks

this is mine :o) - it's from liberty in love and the pic really doesn't do it justice it's beautiful irl

Just a reminder that Hitchers get 10% discount from me, and you can design your own garter. ?

I bought a cheapy one (£6) from Ann Summers.

Mine was £4 from La Senza ? xxx

Made by Lawrie, I had a look on your website and didnt click it was yours, doh!! you also have some very lovely garters, I really like the 1930s one you had in the bespoke ones you did for people, My dress is 1930s and I would like a little bit of blue on it, have you any suggestions? I have had a quick look at your lovely lace but will have a proper look when i get home

CB thanks for the recommendation about Jo Barnes, i have been in touch and she is so helpful and is going to keep an eye out for me ?

Fab news, I think she's super lovely!

This is mine..

Have a look at my lace stock and see if there's anything you like. Then there are lots of design options incorporating blue, so am happy to offer some suggestions with a few more ideas about components you like.

That looks like the EXACT same one that I have on my website for 14.99 I think I need to put my prices up!!!!

Sorry edited as that was meant to be a quote of Vickster's post re the feather cuff

Mine is from the wonderful Made by Lawrie - Carrie

OH is buying me this one in ivory rather than the blue (the second pic) xx

Some gorgeous garters! I'm having one too, but I've made mine from navy blue silk:

Am thinking of replacing the bow with a different one, or some other embellishment altogether though.
