I’m in love with a garter…

Make sure you sing the title of this post in your head to the tune of, well, this song. It’s a classy day ’round here, folks.

E’erybody else please continue reading after the jump! Delightful garter-ness is coming up… you don’t want to miss these beauties!

So, I really really really really [...] really hate garters for the most part. I hate the shiny polyester, the creepy ribbon, the excessive cuteness. They just skeeve me out. That is really unfortunate, because I L-O-V-E the idea of us doing a garter toss.

Or should I say WAS! Today I stumbled upon these beautiful, beautiful garters by Etsy seller Florrie Mitton. I swoon.

garters

They’re perfect. That dotted tulle? To die for. The detailing? Amazing. That horseshoe? Bananas. As far as garters go, I’m sold on Ms. Mitton. I’m going to convo her to see if she can make me a custom set with, well, the stuff I exactly want on it, (Dotted tulle *cough*) , as well as a matching throwing-garter.

Anybody else totally grossed out by the run-of-the-mill garters and go on an epic search for fab ones? Did you consider yanking the tradition all-together if you didn’t find one that didn’t make you barf? I sure did!

Wow, those are gorgeous… I felt the same way about garters, but I may reconsider now (although it would be for the Mister’s yes, only ;) .

Oh wow…those are amazing. I might need to get one of those, they’re way more beautiful than normal garters. Even though I don’t care for the garter toss I still want one of those beauties!

These are beautiful. I’m not doing the toss but I will def. be wearing one.

Ya. I am SO not doing the garter toss. The thought of him putting his head (or any other body part) up my skirt with my parents watching makes me want to break out in the shakes. But those almost made me change my mind

I can’t believe how many of y’all are forgoing a garter toss! :p I wouldn’t miss P shoving his whole body under my dress and pulling the garter out with his teeth for the whole world! I envision myself howling with laughter and just a giant spaz-fest. I have a way of making awkward moments at least, well, not quietly awkward!

Ahhh, I was JUST on the Etsy site before I read this…how funny! I am so in love with those garters…they are just gorgeous…I can’t stand the thought of some cheap garter around my leg, especially when the rest of me is decked out in the most expensive piece of clothing I’ve ever purchased…just sayin….
