My Sister Made My Wedding Garters For My Wedding

February 5th, 2009 Lewd No comments

     I just started planning my wedding. This was the happiest time of my life. There was a lot of planning to do and I knew I needed some help in the planning. My sister offered to help me with the planning of my wedding. I was so glad and relieved that she offered to help me plan my wedding. We had a lot of work ahead of us and very little time. Not to mention also the high cost of everything. I wrote a list on all the things that I needed to purchase. As we were going through the list we would compare prices and that helped in saving money. We did a lot of searching for items and got a lot accomplished. During our search when we were looking at wedding garters, my sister offered to make them instead of me purchasing them. I thought what a great idea. Plus I knew it would be better because it was made by her and I knew she would put a lot of love in it while she was making them.

     Our first thing was to decide what look we wanted. I did not want cheap garters. I wanted elegant and sexy looking garters. I did some research and what a hard decision that was. There are so many gorgeous styles out there. I had to make up my mind on the style of the wedding garters because time was running out and she had to have the time to make them. We finally decided on the garter that was my keepsake to be wider and the one that I was going to toss would be smaller in width. My wedding garter would be made out of chiffon and satin with also a satin bow and jewelry in the shape of two hearts. The other wedding garter that is used for the toss will be the same but in a smaller width.

     Now it was time to find the right color and to match it to my wedding dress. That was a task in its self. This took some time because of all the different colors of white. We finally found the right color of white to match my wedding dress. Now we had to find the right color in the ribbon. Again there were so many colors of white and it took some time to get a perfect match. Our next step was to find the jewelry that had two hearts. This took some time finding. We looked in craft stores and could not find them. Then we looked online and finally after some time we did find them.

     Now all are searching and purchasing was done and it was time to sew the wedding garters. My sister took the measurements of my leg to get a perfect fit. She was finished in no time. I could not wait to see them. She made me wait until she was done sewing them before I could see them.  The time arrived, my bridal garter was finished and so was the other garter that you toss. I was so excited that I could not wait to try it on. When I finally saw them and tried them on, I could not believe how gorgeous and elegant they looked. I had a hard time taking them off.

     I am so glad that my sister helped me plan my wedding and most importantly how she took the time and made my wedding garters. My keepsake garter will remind me of the love she put in it. It will always be a memory in how she helped me plan my special day.
