If we judge like this, then throwing a wedding garter may seem like a vulgar tradition, after all, it is part of women's underwear. But on the other hand, if you go a little deeper into history, you can remember that in the Middle Ages, the garter was considered a sign of elegance, and this wardrobe item was decorated with precious stones and lace.
The tradition of throwing the garter by the bride came to us from the 14th century, when it was believed that in order to lure happiness and success into the house, you need to get any detail of the wedding dress of the bride or groom. Of course, it was not easy for the young people, because each of the invited guests considered it his duty to tear off at least something for himself as a keepsake.
It was then, as the legends say, at one of the wedding ceremonies that the tradition was first invented to throw a garter supporting the bride's stockings to be torn apart by guests. True, the bride had a harder time, as the men at the wedding literally tore off the spicy detail of the wardrobe from the legs of the chosen one. In order to somehow calm the impudent ones, a taboo was established on the garter - only the legal husband or the bride herself could remove it.
Wedding garters - what to wear?
Now every bride strives to make a garter, if not with her own hands, then definitely original. Everything is used: feathers, lace, stones, beads, and even the color scheme ... Imagine a white wedding dress and a black lace garter, or defiantly red? Some make combinations. Here, as they say, what imagination is enough for. The garter can be wide, narrow, there can even be two, one for guests, and the second - only for a loved one, which is called “sweet” or “honey”.
When?
It is customary to throw the garter almost at the end of the celebration, but preferably before the cake is taken out. Beloved man should obscure the narrowed one, lift the edge of the petticoat and slowly remove the lower garter. It is very important not to “light up” the honey bandage during such manipulations, since it is intended only for the husband’s eyes. After that, the spouse turns to the crowd of bachelors and begins to tease them, urging them to be more active and, finally, to move from the ranks of “not married” to the category of husband and father of the family.
And the second one?
The celebration is over, the guests have left, you are now a legal husband and wife ... A bedroom, a huge bed strewn with rose petals, vanilla aroma ... This is where the turn comes to the second, honey garter. It is believed that after a loved one takes it off your leg, it should be put in a box and stored along with a wedding album, guest wish book and other accessories. Then your marriage will be long and happy.
Well, and finally, advice: if you decide to make a garter with your own hands, do not limit your imagination, put all your tenderness, love and skill into this little thing. Advice to you and love!
