Garters are long associated with Christians’ wedding ceremonies. Women used to wear a narrow band of fabric to fasten about their legs to keep up their stockings and socks. Even the article was worn by brides on their wedding day to present themselves as pure, virgin, and polite, since the fabric symbolizes purity of a personality. Garter could be made of any material like leather, nylon, and race being very popular since centuries. In early 19th- 20th century, women had worn the band by adoring it with ribbons and bells, down to their knees to get excellent fitting of their stockings. The tradition continues today but with little changes. Every Christian bride must wear a garter on her wedding day as certain superstitions are attached to the wedding attire. To follow an old tradition of wearing this clothe is actually known as blessing for which a newly wed couple gets themselves blessed for their future married life and gets confident about their eternal love bond.
Although, garter can be bought and worn in any color by a Christian bride, but most suitable one is blue with slight touch of lace or other material. As most brides having hard time taking their garters off during function considering their ordeal the task has been reserved to groom. The fabric can be attached to anywhere on the bride’s wedding dress or on her hair clip, or else on her knees, the garter is then taken off by her groom and thrown to all single men invited to the party. One who catches on the garter would be considered lucky. Similarly, the bride will throw bouquet to single and unmarried women of the party. Whoever catches the flower or gets surrounded by petals is blessed and is next in line of marriage. Her marriage will be happy for her and she can expect to lead a successful life with her partner.
