Celebrity Wedding Garters: 6 Celebs Who Have Worn La Gartier Garters
I am going to be flat-out honest. It's not in my nature to brag about which high-profile clients have worn our garters. It just feels cheap to me. Why? Because I honestly believe that every single one of our brides...really anyone who has purchased a La Gartier garter over the past ten years is a truly special human being. Our clients are like angels to me. Just because one or two or three of them is more highly-recognizable than another, doesn't necessarily make her more special to us as a company. ALL OF OUR CLIENTS ARE SUPER SPECIAL TO US.But, alas, we are living in a celebrity culture unlike anything known to American history....and because I know for a fact that people google "Celebrity Wedding Garter" when trying to locate our products, I am sitting down today to write an entire blog dedicated to our past celebrity clients. That way, people can find us when they set off on their google hunt. Yep. I just admitted that. It's all about that SEO folks.Below are six celebrities who have worn La Gartier on their wedding day! Let's start with the very first one!1. Singer/Actress Jamie Lynn SpearsJamie Lynn Spears was married on March 14th, of 2014 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She wore our beloved Joy garter on her wedding day....which I would be more than happy to include here other than the fact that we don't carry it anymore. It was in our collection for four years, but we decided to transition it out in 2019 to make room for newer styles. Truth fast: Jamie Lynn did not come to us directly for her garter. She was actually shopping at I Do Bridal Couture in Louisiana when she spotted our designs. I'll never forget the day that Ramsey Sims of I Do Bridal Couture called me and asked me to make something special for Jamie. To this day, I am filled with gratitude for Ramsey. Being able to dress Jamie was a dream come true, no matter what today's tabloids have to say about her..and we have Ramsey Sims to thank for the opportunity!2. Supermodel Natalie PackNatalie Pack, now known as Natalie Pack O'Connell, was married on July 21st, 2018 in Lake Como, Italy. To say that this wedding was classy would be a total understatement. But do you know what the craziest thing is? You would assume a supermodel might be a little stuck up or non-accessible. Natalie was the opposite. I can honestly say that she was one of the most down-to-earth, grounded celebrities whom we have ever worked for. Need proof? This incredibly gorgeous woman had only one request for her custom wedding garter set: that her dog be included. That happened. Her garters included a special silver Vizla charm to represent her unbearably handsome dog- Fig!See? Isn't this just the cutest?! I die.Just one more because honestly I just love Fig. I love Natalie too. But I really just love that Fig.3. Gown Designer Hayley PaigeIf you love the world of bridal, then you most likely know Hayley Paige. Creative, witty, and full of sass, this California-bred creative has designed some of the last decade's most creative wedding gowns. She was married in Lake Tahoe on July 11, 2015. Her nuptials were distinctly fairytale in nature, and we had the honor of designer 4 different unicorn-inspired wedding garter for her. Interested to see what they looked like? Keep scrolling!Now that is what I call a magical wedding garter set. A big thank you to Hayley for...well, just about everything but mainly the inspiration that you have sent my way for years and years.A side view of one of her unicorn toss garters.4. Actress Anna CampDo you remember that movie Pitch Perfect? Or do you remember Pitch Perfect 2? I just heard someone say yes with an exclamation point at the end. If you have seen this cult-classic, then you are familiar with it's lead actress Anna Camp. Anna has starred in quite a few other films, but Pitch Perfect still stands to be her most well-known production to date. In September of 2013, Anna married her Pitch Perfect co-star Skylar Austin..and we are still so thrilled to mention that we created her garters. My favorite part? Her garters included a little charm that read "Partners In Crime." See photo below!Interested to see more of Anna's custom wedding garters?

I have had the opportunity to meet Kandi on multiple occasions. She is a wonderful woman. Beyond that, she owns the cutest little clothing boutique on Peachtree Street called TAGS that I can't get enough of. To be able to say that she wore our Aurora garter on her wedding day is something that I'll treasure forever. Here is a photo of her now-husband taking her La Gartier garter off of her leg during her wedding reception! This moment was captured on national television as apart of the RHOA show and I feel so grateful every time I come across this specific episode.Her Aurora garter was such a perfect fit for her wedding day look. If you are interested in seeing more photos of it, the price, or to read about other celebrities who have worn this design, please click here.6. The Bachelor's Lauren Burnham LuyendykFull confession: I don't watch Te Bachelor. But if I did, I would only watch Lauren's season on repeat. Creating her wedding garter set was such a blast, that I will forever feel connected to this couple. Not only did we use elements of Arie's race suit within Lauren's garters, but we also paired her keepsake with our brand new, sparkling Venus Pearl garter.Fun fact: I spent the days after Lauren's wedding fighting with People Magazine and other publications for not crediting us in any of her photos. It was an utter mess and something that I regret to this day. But honestly-- it was infuriating. Magazine after magazine after show after show after post after post were talking all about her garters and no one would say who made them. I don't know who needs to hear this, but don't do what I did and make a big stink about little things like that.But it still makes me mad. I was literally crying my car in the Target parking lot. You should have seen it.*le sigh*Oh--you might want to know this: Lauren wore a custom version of our Ever After garter. We put a little heart from Arie's race suit on the back among other incredibly special details. To get her look, click here to see the Ever After garter in our shop!Ok, beauties! I think that just about does it for this post! There are more gorgeous, smart, and talented women who have worn our garters over the years, and we can only hope that you will be one of them someday! -

The Happily Ever After Wedding Garter
If you are looking for a super gorgeous, sparkling wedding garter that speaks to your special relationship story, then you have come to the right place! Keep reading below to learn all about our newest design: The Ever After Wedding Garter.
Where do we start?? This garter is so magical, that we need at least a paragraph to describe its multi-dimensional components! 💎 First, a little back story: When creating this garter, the first feature that we knew that we wanted to include was tons of sparkle, a distinct 3-D floral element and a distinct "princess blue" color. 💙As you can see in the photos above, the front band is primarily comprised of clear, sparkling pear-shaped swarovski crystals. ✨ Blooming from within the sparkling band are exactly five flowers: three blue (made of a soft acrylic and a rhinestone detail at the center of each flower) as well as two white flowers (made of gauzy, ethereal organza with a pearl detail at the center.) 🌸The best part? The inside of the back band is embroidered with the words "Happily Ever After" in princess blue. (something blue? check and check✔️✔️) Other details to note: the back band is created using a lace overlay on the outside which can be admired from behind you was you walk down the aisle or dance the night away on the dance floor). The back band also features 15 sparkling swarovski crystal rhinestone embellishments. (hand-placed for extra sparkle.) ✨ -

Published! La Gartier Bride Lauren Burnham's Wedding Garter Set + all things HEIRLOOM
Some days start with coffee. Some days start with coffee and national press coverage.
We are so proud to announce that we created not one but two beautiful garters for Lauren Burnham on her wedding day. Today, US Weekly was kind enough to post a photo with Lauren wearing her beautiful custom garter set and looking FABULOUS. (click here to read the full Us Weekly article.)
Interested to learn more about what Lauren's garters looked like? We don't even know where to start in revealing all of the details! Not only did we create Lauren's garters for her, but we also created a pocket square for Arie, a custom handkerchief for Arie's mother, a custom handkerchief for Lauren's mother, handkerchiefs for all of the bridesmaids that read "Happy Tears" and a very very special hankie for Lauren that she can pass down to her daughter in the future. The best part? Almost every single one of these beautiful items was made using fabric and patches from Arie's race suite. Below is a lengthy photo montage for your viewing pleasure!! I think it's safe to say that I got a little carried away with this project. But what's more fun than getting carried away? Nothing really. xoxo, Sarah
Lauren wore a custom version of our Ever After garter with a piece of Arie's race suit cut into a heart and sewn into the back band of her garter.
For her toss, Lauren paired her unbelievably beautiful Ever After garter with our brand new Venus Pearl toss garter. (see picture above!)
Can you catch a little glimpse of Lauren's Venus pearl toss garter here? (and yes-- that's Hayley Paige!)
The front side of Lauren's wedding handkerchief. We made sure to choose a phrase that worked for her on her wedding day but that will also work for her daughter on the day that she gets married. #DoubleMeaning
The back side of Lauren's handkerchief -- this was a patch taken from the breast pocket of Arie Luyendyk's race suite. (swarovski crystals were added for extra sparkle.)

Another photos of the custom hankies for Lauren's bridesmaids- each one was embroidered with her wedding date and the phrase "Happy Tears"
This was, by far, my favorite hankie made out of the entire set of heirloom handkerchiefs. This hankie was made for Arie's mother and includes a patch found on the innermost part of his race suite that included his name and race number, written by himself, in a plain ole' ink pen. Since taking on this project, I have learned that each competitor in the world of indie car racing is asked to mark his suite on a special tag that goes on the inside of his/her suite, just near the bottom part of the zipper. Opening up this particular suite of Arie's and finding his name and race number written by the MAN himself with a ballpoint pen was like finding treasure. I knew that his mother would appreciate the tag the most...or so I felt in my heart. So, I snip snipped it off and sewed it by hand to the middle of the prettiest vintage hankie that we had on hand. To this day, I have no idea whether or not Mrs. Luyendyke liked the hankie or not but I truly hope so. It is, after all, her little boy's handwriting. Ok, rant over.
A detailed, up-close photo of Mrs. Luyendyke's custom handkerchief. Can you see the hand-writing? Why is this so PRECIOUS?! WHY do I feel like crying I don't even really know these people.
The hankie created for Lauren's mother-- very simple, very vintage, full of heirloom integrity.
This tie was created using my absolute favorite patch from Arie's race suit. As of right now, I am not entirely sure if Lauren gave it to Arie or if she gave it to one of his sponsors (the skull is the logo of his sponsor and they definitely attended the wedding). However, to be completely honest-- I don't mind WHO ended up wearing this fierce little beat of a neck tie. It is just SO.DARN.UNIQUE. Don't you think?!
A close up view of the custom neck tie. Dear neck tie: where are you now?
Another photo of Lauren looking fabulous in her custom Hayley Paige gown. I would like to take this moment to cyber-thank Hayley for being the reason I met Hayley at all. I would have never met Lauren had you not extended me an invite to your press how last October and I honestly would have never known that the beautiful, cheerful blonde that I met was on The Bachelor had it not been for my good friend Cara Buese. They say timing is everything but I am starting to believe it is a combo of timing + good friends.
It has definitely occured to me that you all might not want to see behind-the-scenes photos but these polaroids were taken by my mom over christmas and are V special to me so deal.
a little sneak peak insta story that we posted before the suit was transformed.

P.S. Why are holograms so cool?!?

thanks mom.
