When I was doing a Wedding Consultation the other day, I had a question from one of my brides on WEDDING GARTER. Which leg is it, the right or the left? From what I knew, I told her that both garters are usually worn on the right leg just above the knee. But, this question got me curious to know if the right leg was a must. Well, to all my brides out there, you will be relieved to know that you are able to put your garter on whichever legs you want and the best news, there’s no bad luck to it! That’s one thing less to worry about!
For those who are wondering about the garter origin, please note that the garter tradition originated back to the 14th century. The couple believed having a piece of the bride’s clothing was thought to bring good luck. Before, they would actually rip off the bride’s dress. Obviously, it wasn’t something pleasant for the bride so she began throwing other things to the guest and the garter was one of them. In North America, brides wear two garters: one as a keepsake garter and the other for the throw away and it’s the groom who removes the throw away garter from the bride leg (sometimes with his teeth or more appropriately by using his hands) and throws it to the single men in the crow. Of course, let’s not forget that the keepsake garter is removed later in private during the honeymoon night.
