The Wedding Garter; A History of Tradition

As probably the smallest and least expensive detail of your wedding accessories and wedding decorations, the wedding garter comes from a long line of historical tradition.

The wedding garter is one of the earliest wedding traditions. Garters were imbued with fertility and the bride's garter signified consummation, fulfillment, and progeny and was always fiercely sought after. Men in the wedding would rush at the bride at the end of the ceremony in order to get her garter for themselves. They would then wear it on their hats until they found a girl to give it to for good luck.

Sometimes the bride would be knocked over and trampled off from this frenzy of activity so the tradition was soon tamed. They would simply throw it to the single men at the wedding reception and it became a big honor to catch it.

It’s funny to me that this small wedding accessories among all of the other wedding decorations was of such great meaning.

Let history speak for itself. The wedding garter is an important wedding accessory. Don’t forget it at your wedding.

Keeping Flowers Withing Your Budget

The flowers at your wedding can be one of the most expensive wedding decorations in you wedding. Here are a few tips to keep the costs down:

1. If you get them from a florist then pick them up from the shop yourself and do your own planning and decorating at the church and reception area. Florist often charge a lot of money to deliver and set up.
2. If you shop around enough you can often find flowers for much cheaper at street venders or grocery stores or even Walmart. Taking a little time to find flowers and doing them yourself could save you a bundle.
3. I’ve even heard of people getting flowers from their own gardens or friends’ gardens. This may not be able to supply the flowers for ALL your wedding decorations, but may just enough for your bouquets and centerpieces.

In order to keep your costs down on your wedding decorations one of the best places to start is with your wedding flowers. It may take a little more work on your part, but it’s usually worth it in the end.
