Ok, so I know that there is such a thing as National Puppy Day. And I know that there is such a thing as National Doughnut Day. There is even "National Hike With a Geek Day." (No joke. I'm totally serious. Google it. It exists.)

But does anyone know if there is a National Brides Who Sparkle Day?? If there isn't, then there should be. I will be the first to sign the petition. Because you know why? It would basically be a day dedicated to the women who wear our garters!! Seriously, La Gartier brides are the BEST. They are some of the kindest, brightest, most creative, well-mannered and talented women out there, including our recent bride Heather Black. Heather was kind enough to send us a link to her wedding gallery last Wednesday, and you should have seen my face when I first saw these beautiful photos. (I almost dropped my phone while I was standing in line at Starbucks! No joke!) What I love about these photos is that they show you how utterly classy wedding garters can be when worn with just the right thing, by a woman who exudes class and elegance. Sound like you? Then we want you to be apart of our super sparkly La Gartier family!! You can click here to shop our collection. Happy La Gartier everyone! And Heather-- if you are reading this, then thank you for being YOU.

If peach is the tropical cousin of pink, then blush pink is the uber-feminine little sister, constantly redesigning her bedroom and always speaking in a soft voice. Seriously, it makes sense to me that blush pink is an extremely popular wedding color. It embodies romanticism so effortlessly, so easily....that's its almost suspicious. Here at La Gartier, we offer quite a few different pink options within our collection, but none of them are as gorgeous as our Blush Pink Sweetheart garter. (see photos below for a visual). This garter is absolutely stunning not only for the fact that the base color is blush pink (a statement in itself), but also because it has a french lace overlay and a tiny tiny rhinestone at the center of the bow. (for the bride who wants a touch of sparkle but not too much!) The best part? We are able to custom make this beauty to fit your leg perfectly as long as you do not mind leaving us your leg measurement in the "comments" section of your check out! Below are multiple photos of our infamous Blush Pink Sweetheart garter as well as a leg measurement guide for all of you that want a perfect fit for your garter!

Thank you for staying so loyal through the years and please let us know if you have any questions at all by using the contact form here. Happy La Gartier everyone!

Side view- the eyelash detailing at the bottom of the lace is one of my favorite precious details on this garter.

It got us through for years but we upgraded in 2016 to a box that will blow your mind. Everything about it screams luxury. To see a photo of it, please click here and click through the photos.)

If you live in Atlanta and you are even slightly apart of the fitness scene, then you most likely know Carly Grace Hinchman. She is known as the yoga barbie around town. She drives a pink jeep, wears the loudest yoga pants you can find and owns her own yoga studio - Thunderbolt Power Yoga -- in Buckhead. I had the pleasure of meeting Carly years ago when I first started practicing yoga and then again when both she and I were selected as Jezebel Magazine's 20 Most Eligible Atlantans. (2014 was crazy. Don't even get me started on what it was like to be called out as single in front of 70,000 readers.) 

Fast forward to 2017 ---> Carly Grace is no longer receiving press for being an eligible bachelorette. No, instead she is receiving press for being one of the most sucessful new yoga studios in Atlanta and for being engaged!!! That's right-- Carly Grace is getting ready to walk down the aisle in just seven short days!! And I had the utter pleasure of being asked to create her wedding garters. As soon as she asked me, I knew immediately that the design should contain two essential signature "yoga barbie" elements:

1. The color pink

2. An adorable elephant charm

Why the elephant do you ask? On the walls of Carly's studio are two beautiful elephant murals (see photos below) that have come to symbolize Thunderbolt Power Yoga's playful & youthful allure, so I knew that her set needed to have an elephant on it is some way. I felt passionately convinced that it would be the perfect shout out to her favorite animal. So, I set to work with the shopping trips for the pink velvet and the elephant charm right away.

Below are detailed photos of Carly's unbelievably special wedding garter set! If you love this set as much as we do, then please read the captions below each photo to learn more about the velvety details that make this design so meaningful!! Interested in a custom garter set of your own?? You can contact us by clicking here.

Carly chose our infamous Athena garter as her keepsake piece. For her toss (which she will most likely never toss!) we decided to use a light pink velvet fabric for the body, with a silver elephant charm at the center. 

Peep the elephants murals on the wall. Don't you just love them?!

I can't tell which I like more-- the little iridescent rhinestone eye or the little carved heart on the rump!

On the inside of Carly's toss garter, we added her wedding hashtag #marryingmilyo in blue. She told me she cried when she saw this. Which leads me to a question-- why is it that embroidery is so.darn.powerful??

Her "something blue" was not only meaningful but also modern and hidden. I was actually dying to add the word "namaste" somewhere but we didn't have room!

I am all out of photos of her amazing wedding garters, but below are photos from her studio as well as a few unbelievably well-executed inversions. If you are a yoga-lover like me, then you will most likely go crazy over this set. I know I did! Stay tuned for more custom garter spotlight recaps and thank you all so much for reading! 

Namaste.
