"Are They Necessary? A Summary of the Benefits and Cute Designs of Garter Belts That Are Both Sexy and Unfamiliar*"

Should You Wear a Garter or Not?

Various types of bridal garters are sold by different manufacturers. While they are cute, many brides-to-be might not be familiar with them since they don't usually wear them.

We will answer the questions of brides-to-be, such as, "What is a garter anyway? How do you use it? Should I buy one?" and introduce some cute designs that you might want to check out! ♡

What is a Garter?

Generally, there are two types of items referred to as garters: garter belts and garter rings. A garter belt is worn underneath shorts and holds stockings in place at four points. A garter ring is worn over stockings, pressing against the thigh to keep them up. Both prevent stockings from slipping down.

In some countries, it's popular for the groom to remove the bride's garter ring and throw it to unmarried men, in a tradition called "garter toss." It's quite a sexy performance!

Before Considering the Purchase of a Garter, Choose Your Type of Stocking

Whether or not you need a garter depends on the type of stockings you will be wearing under your wedding dress on the day of the event. The recommended types are either thigh-high or knee-high. You should avoid waist-high types, which you typically wear often, as they can take time to remove when going to the bathroom, and may snag due to nails, leading to runs in the stockings. Additionally, on the day of the event, you will have your dress tightened, so it’s better not to add more pressure around your waist.

A Garter is Essential with Thigh-High Stockings!

If you are wearing a mini dress or a dress with a high front, thigh-high stockings are essential. Even with a normal wedding dress, some brides-to-be choose thigh-high stockings for the appearance when changing outfits. The people who are likely to see your stockings include your makeup artist, bridesmaids, and groom in the waiting room. Besides, if you are going to do something that reveals your legs like a princess carry, choose thigh-high stockings as well! ♡

If you choose thigh-high stockings, regardless of how good they are, there's a risk they may slip down, so a garter is a must-have item! To ensure you don’t have to worry about your stockings during the ceremony, now is the time to select your favorite garter! ♡
