The tradition of removing and tossing the bride’s garter after the wedding ceremony originally came from the superstition that any articles that the bride wore would bring good luck! But it wasn’t always the groom that traditionally tossed the garter – it was the bride.
Nowadays, the lucky man who catches the garter after it’s tossed is thought to be the next in line to get hitched – just like the woman who catches the bride’s bouquet!
The following selection of garters are so great you likely won’t want to toss any of them – let alone give one to someone else to keep!
