And while I realize that I sound like a huge braggart right now, the truth is....well, it really is #FACTS. 
    I have spent countless hours googling phrases such as "light blue wedding garters" and "garters with a hint of blue" and there really isn't anything else out there that compares to the craftsmanship, the quality, and the pure artfulness that we put into our pieces. 
    If you are looking for an heirloom-worthy "something blue" wedding garter, then here are five our our most popular styles, listed in order of popularity! 
    light blue wedding garters
    1. The Arendelle Garter

    This garter is made out of a solid sparkling opalescent light blue jeweled-centerpiece. Alluring opalescent round-cut stones, marquis-cut stones, emerald-cut stones, and round-cut stones blend together to create a mesmerizing combination. (Fun fact: the marquis-cut stones along the top and bottom edge of the centerpiece are meant to mimic the shape of icicles!) ❄️

    If you look closely on the left and right side of this design, you will see two iridescent flowers blooming from the soft velvet blue band. These flowers represent the meeting of two souls at just the right moment, in just the right place. 🔮

    To make this design even more special, each design is marked with a number on the inside using metallic silver embroidery. This number indicates number it is within this rare limited-edition series.  (Click here to access the listing in our shop.)  ✨

    2. The Ever After Garter

    The Ever After Garter was created for the bride who believes in happily ever after. Known for her undying belief in true love, this bride is the type of girl who has refused to let past experiences shut down her sparkle or stop her belief in living with an open heart & an undying romantic outlook on life. No matter what circumstances have been thrown her way, she has remained hopeful that she will one day meet her soulmate. (ie: prince charming.) 👑

    And in this belief, she has been right. To her, the three most important qualities in her life-long-romeo are honesty, loyatly and devotion. More likely than not, she will be saying "I Do" in a gown that will stop people in their tracks upon seeing it. When asked if she likes sparkle, she will most likely respond: "Extra please." 💅🏻

     The Ever After garter is, well, just impressive. This garter is pure luxury, mixed with tiny dusty blue acrylic 3-D flowers that are truly unlike anything you have ever seen. Worried that there isn't enough blue? We have great news for you! Embroidered on the inside of this garter is a secret message.

In fact, she might be one of the quietest people at a party, but she is known for carrying herself with a grace that is unparalleled. 💅🏻  Anyone who knows this bride is well aware of the fact that she believes deeply in acts of service, whether it be volunteering to help abandoned animals or assisting the elderly who have become too old to be able to care for themselves anymore. 💗 🧵

  • The Eight Best Bridal Shower Gifts For The Bride in 2022

    I read a statistic recently that said 2022's wedding season is going to be bigger than anything that America has seen since 1984. To be specific, it reported that more weddings will be happening in the United States in 2022 than any other year since 1984. And you know what? I believe it. Why? Because just about every single person that I know has a wedding invitation sitting on their kitchen counter or tacked to the fridge at this very moment, which means it's time for all of us to get savvy about wedding gifts.

  • New! The Infinity Crystal Sparkle Wedding Garter

    We've waited for years to introduce this gorgeous new garter to the collection. Why? We wanted it to be perfect! Ever since 2017, we have wanted to create a garter that encapsulates never-ending love - the type of love that never dies no matter what the circumstances. Today, we are thrilled to announce that she is finally here! Ladies and gentleman, may we present to you the Infinity wedding garter! 
    infinity crystal sparkle wedding garter
    When aiming to find a truly unique, sparkling wedding garter design, look no farther than the Infinity garter. Set within a sparkling swarovski crystal front band, two separate bands intertwine together in a braid-like motif, creating a never-ending infinity silhouette. Each tiny rhinestone was set at a different angle on purpose, ensuring that each one will hit the light just right, creating  max ten level sparkle from any angle.  ☪️ 
    infinity crystal sparkle wedding garter

    The best part? The Infinity garter is extremely slim and non-obstrusive, making it the perfect garter choice if you are looking for something subtle and dainty. 

    Other details to note: this garter is extremely light-weight. We created it this way on purpose so as to ensure that you will not feel it at all as you walk with love and pride.  

    infinity crystal sparkle wedding garter

    As her name suggests, the Infinity garter was made for the bride who believes that her love is limitless. To be specific, she was created for the bride who believes that the love she shares with her partner is never-ending, not just in its size but also in it's life span. Fun fact: the two separate braids of sparkle represent two separate people (you + your loved one) coming together and becoming one complete entity. As you can see in the photos above, the top braided piece supports the bottom one, and the bottom one supports the top one. Without support from either of these two separate entities, the design couldn't viably exist.  Suffice to say, this garter belongs to the bride who passionately believes in the life blood of her relationship as a two-way street.

    Isn't she just so perfect? We are unbelievably excited to introduce this garter into our collection and cannot wait to see who claims her as their own!

  • New! Introducing the Atlantis Garter

    Where do we start?? Our new Atlantis garter is so unique, that we need at least a paragraph to describe its deeply sacred components! Firstly, a little back story: When creating this garter, we knew right away that we wanted to create the world's prettiest ocean-inspired wedding garter...one that was unparalleled in terms of craftsmanship and luxury. 
    beach boho wedding garter
    As you can see in the photos above, the front band is comprised of exactly ten ivory seashells. 🐚
    Weaving through the midline of the garter, above and below the seashells, is a jeweled milky way of tiny ivory pearls, gleaming like eternal moons against the organic texture of the seashells.  🌊 The best part? For a luxurious sparkle effect, we added 35 swarovski crystal rhinestones throughout the midline in both a pear-shape and also a round-cut shape, meant to symbolize the glittering surface of the ocean at sunset. 🌅
     
    beach boho garter
    Other details to note: this garter is extremely light-weight. We created it this way on purpose so as to ensure that you will not feel this garter at all as you walk with it on.  Another huge plus of this garter? The seashells are all-natural and organic, making for the perfect choice if you are someone who adores all things Boho.
    boho beach garter
    As her name suggests, the Atlantis garter was created for the most sensitive, deep, and intuitive of brides.  🔮 As most of you know, the ocean is known for being vast and mysterious, which is why it comes as no surprise that it has become such an iconic symbol for things that are all-encompassing, powerful, and ancient.  Suffice to say, this garter was made for the bride who is known for her mysterious and oftentimes borderline psychic tendencies. (Fun fact: the seashell is a widely known symbol for the unconscious and is associated with emotions. No- seriously- google it.)  👰‍♀️ 🔮
    beach boho wedding garter

    This garter belongs to the bride who knows certain things before anyone does, simply because of her gut. She is the epitome of intuition, and divine feminine energy, but...just like the ocean, she is continually shifting and changing shape. For this reason, she can be hard to pin down. 

    The chances that she is a water sign like Pisces, Scorpio, or Cancer are high. The chances that she will be getting married on the beach are even higher. ♓️

    If you are someone who appreciate organic motifs (like seashells) but who also likes opulent, luxurious things, then the Atlantis garter is your spirit garter. 

    bohemian wedding garter with beach inspiration

     It should also be noted that this garter was created with heirloom-integrity in mind. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦   That is to say, this gorgeous garter was made to be cherished and passed down through generations after the wedding day. (But we won't be salty if you decide to toss it!) 🤣
