Custom Bottle Spotlight: Bling Disco Ball Veuve Clicquot Champagne Bottle
Every once and awhile, when we are not busy creating incredible custom wedding garters, we like to immerse ourselves in inspiring side projects. Recently, we created a stunning Veuve Clicquot bottle inspired by the fast-growing disco ball trend that we are seeing EVERYWHERE right now! Actually, I take that back. Disco balls are just plain amazing. They always have been and they always will be. I mean, what is more FUN than a disco ball? Honestly, I have harbored a deep love for them ever since I was a girl, so when I spotted the oh-so classic pink labelled Rosé Veuve Clicquot bottle last month at my all-time favorite store in Atlanta, I just knew that this custom bottle design needed to come to life! Truth fast: it is now my current OBSESSION and I have my friend Meg Rupp to thank for helping me to bring it to fruition.To be directed to the listing and make this bottle yours, please click here.But wait-- here's an even better idea: gift it to a friend whom you love dearly!Please click on any of the images below to be directed to the listing! Questions? Don't hesitate to contact us directly at hello@lagartier.com!Interested to see the creation of this bottle? Then you are in luck! We made a reel on instagram all about it!

Custom Bottle Spotlight: Tequila Komos Anejo Cristalino
While it's true that our main craft is wedding accessories, we have recently had the pleasure of designing a few custom bottles for brands such as Belle Gloss Wines, and now an incredible tequila company called Tequila Komos.Tequila Komos made it's first big splash last year in 2020, when they released their now-infamous Anejo Cristalino. In recent months, they have expanded their line of ultra-luxury tequilas with the addition of Tequila Komos Roposado and Tequila Komos Extra Anejo. CEO & Founder Richard Betts continues to drive innovation, prioritize sustainability, and combine the highest artistry in tequila-making with inspiration from wine-making techniques. We were honored to have been asked to create a custom bottle design for Tequila Komos last October and look forward to creating additional bottle designs for the Casa Komos Brands Group in the future.To see photos of the first custom bottle that we ever designed for Tequila Komos, please scroll through the photos below! Hint: the entire design concept was inspired by the Mediterranean!This particular bottle design was inspired by classic Mediterranean design motifs such as tassels and mother-of-pearl.
We wanted the bottle to evoke feelings of Mediterranean beach imagery. For this reason, we added organic split-crushed quartz rocks along the base, meant to mimic waves crashing against large, rough rocks on the beach on the Amalfi Coast.
Because the title of this particular tequila is Anejo Cristalino, we knew that we absolutely HAD TO include crystals in one form or another. For this reason, we added swarovski crystals around the edges of the label and on top of the pearls in an organic fashion. In addition, we spent five hours hand-placing crystal quartz shards around the label at a perpendicular angle, as a further nod to the crystal glamour of places such as Ibiza and the French Riviera.
Our favorite part? At the top of the bottle rests one single triangular quartz stone- rough on the outside and shimmering on the inside.
Hanging from the neck of the bottle is one single woven silk tassel, purchased from a knowledgeable antiques dealer located in Atlanta who specializes in fine linens and home decor accents sourced in Monaco.
Last, but not least, we added over thirty five laser-cut organza flowers to the outside edges of the label and bottom porcelain edge to feminize the design. I mean, we are...after all...a bridal accessories company so if we don't add flowers, is it really even La Gartier?

5 Gorgeous Garters For The Modern Bride
When it comes to wedding traditions you can pick and choose those that mean the most to you – many couples no longer want to wait for the ceremony to see their beloved so choose to have a ‘first look’, nor does every bride wish to toss her beautiful bouquet. And the same with the classic garter! Some see it as an antiquated tradition with no place in modern weddings, whilst others see it as an accessory that can be saved, cherished, and passed down through generations. (While also getting a few ultra-gorgeous photos on their wedding day!)If you’re not so sure whether to garter or not to garter, read on to learn the history behind the tradition and to see 5 gorgeous garters from our collection that may just help you decide!I am not even going to lie to you all. I am not a huge fan of the garter toss myself. However, I am a huge fan of wearing gorgeous accessories who express who I am as a person.....And when it comes to your wedding day, you deserve nothing but the BEST. The garter that you see above is called The Galia...and it is a design that would be perfect if you are looking to pass an heirloom bridal item down to your daughter one day. Beyond just that, it makes for unbelievably gorgeous getting ready photos (think you. your bridal robe. your garter. BOOM.)Click the photo above to see more of this incredible wedding garter full of what I like to call heirloom integrity.Slim and floral-centered, our Daphne garter is a radical departure from what you usually think of when you think of a wedding garter. The best part? There are tiny swarovski crystals nestled in between the tiny white flowers on this garter, making for just the right touch of sparkle. Click on the photo above to see more of our brand new Daphne garter!To me, the garter toss tradition pales in comparison to getting photos like these. And do you know what is SO WONDERFUL? You have the opportunity to use your garter for photographs on so many different occasions! Here are just a few, simply because I love proving a good point:~your pre-wedding boudoir shoot~your getting ready pictures on the day-of~your bachelorette party night~your rehearsal dinner outfit (if you wear a dress with a slit!)~your wedding night (but promise us that you will wear all white/ivory lingerie. Make is sexy. But make it bridal.)~Your first anniversary (preferably at night, once you get home.)~Valentine's DayOne of my favorite features of the wedding garter is that it is the only accessory that you will wear on your wedding day that goes underneath your gown. This means that you can really have fun with it. It is THE accessory that can personify WHO you are as a person, without worrying about whether or not it perfectly compliments everything else within your wedding day look (from the outside!)Above is a perfect example of a garter that has a TON of personality. It is called the Oh-So-L.A. garter and it is truly unlike anything on the planet. The only thing we ask is that you keep it and pass it on to your daughter one day. -

Wedding Garters with Swarovski Crystals
I am not going to lie.For the bride who loves sparkle, there is no other company like La Gartier. We basically worship sparkle around here and have subsequently built an entire brand around it. Seriously. You should see our studio. When you walk inside, everything glitters from the ceiling to the floor...and when golden hour sets in, it is everything we can do to not simply drop whatever project we are working on and start taking videos of JUST.EVERYTHING.If you are a bride-to-be who is looking for an ultra-special, sparkling wedding garter made using swarovski crystals, then you have come to the right place.Keep scrolling to catch a glimpse of our top five most popular wedding garters made with swarovski crystals!Created using swarovski crystals and a semi-transparent illusion midline, this garter features jewels set in a symbolic floral pattern along the bottom and top perimeter, making for a stunning organic shape. The back half of this garter is made of a soft light elastic with a ruffled organza overlay. If you look closely at the illusion midline of the garter, you will see a honeycomb crosshatched pattern, specifically made to mimic the iconic design elements found within the gown of Galia Lahav and Berta. 💗✨ Click the photo above to see more of this beautiful design!This garter MADE US what we are. If you are a bride-to-be who is known for her glamour, her unique style and her originality...then look no farther. This is the garter for YOU. Always first to the trend, this bride is someone who consistently catches others off guard with her fresh, cutting-edge sense of fashion. 🧵 In short, she does not wait for others to go first before trying something new. If you are a bride who wants nothing less than the best for your wedding day, then this garter belongs to you. ✨ It would also work extremely well for a bride who is wearing a form-fitting gown (ie: mermaid or trumpet) due to the fact that it lies very flat against the leg. This design has been worn by many high-profile brides, including model/actress Katherine Webb and The Bachelor's Nikki Ferrell. 🌹Created as a sister garter to our ever beloved Vienna, the Athena garter features both clear swarovski crystals AND opal stones to create just a touch of something blue.

Every detail of this garter was inspired by the bride who adores animals and is well-known for her compassionate nature. More likely than not, this bride is not a very loud person. 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 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.) 👑
