Sandra's New York Yankees Wedding Garter

Just wanted to share this New York Yankees wedding garter I shipped out last week to bride Sandra for her New Year's Eve wedding! The Yankees are far and away my most popular sports team (which I'm sure Red Sox fans HATE to hear!), and these garters are among my favorites to make, mainly because I adore the look of navy blue and white together!

As a Seattle native, I love that there are Seahawks fans all over the world!

Custom Garters | Andria's Lace Hunting Wedding Garter Set

This is one of the most special garter sets I've ever had the honor of making. I've known the groom, Mark, since preschool, and was so excited when his bride, Andria, contacted me about a custom order for their wedding day. Andria loved the delicate look of lace, and the silver and toffee ribbons matched their colors perfectly. Mark is an avid hunter and outdoorsman, which is why we added the handgun charms. And the feathers were the perfect final touch ~ we used guinea feathers from my inventory, and Andria sent me duck feathers from one of Mark's recent hunting trips to include as well!

Real Weddings | Emily's Custom Mickey Mouse Wedding Garter

Remember Stefany from The Majestic Vision who did triple duty as wedding planner, coordinator and maid of honor for bride Marah's wedding that was featured in one of last year's Real Weddings posts? One of my repeat customers, she also purchased the garter for her sister, Emily's wedding to Jonathan. The bride and groom are both huge Disney fans, so we added a Mickey Mouse charm to one of my red and black polka dot garters. The couple had a Mickey and Minnie Mouse cake topper AND went on a Disney-themed cruise for their honeymoon ~ the wedding garter we created was perfect! Photos courtesy of Shay Cochrane Photography.
