At Britten, we have a wonderful selection of varied wedding garter designs, and when it comes to choosing the perfect wedding garter with us, it's hard to get it wrong as they're all so stunning.
However, there are some styles and finishes of garter that lend themselves more easily to certain wedding dress designs. Here we've pulled together some of the things you should consider about your dress and the style of garter before you make up your mind.
The Different Styles of Wedding Garter
Lace Wedding Garter
Classically elegant, lace garters are instantly recognisable as the quintessentially traditional wedding garter. We use lacemakers that have been making lace since 1858, and they continue to produce some of the UK's finest lace. We handcraft beautiful and intricate lace garter designs for brides all over the world.
Silk Wedding Garters
Soft and smooth, silk wedding garters not only look fabulous they're ultra comfortable to wear too. Silk bridal garters are usually formed from a narrow band of the luxury fabric featuring small embellishments or a little lace detailing for added interest.
Tulle Wedding Garters
Reminiscent of a bridal veil, tulle bridal garters can make the perfect pairing with your chosen wedding veil. Made from delicate tulle, brides can enjoy the ruffles and romance that this style of wedding garter brings to a bridal look.
What Style of Garter Should I Wear with my Dress?
The Style and Fit of Your Wedding Dress
Knowing the style and fit of your wedding dress will help you to decide what style of garter to choose.
If you have a simple quite tight fitting gown, you might want to consider going for a sleek wedding garter for a more streamlined and discreet look. With form-fitting dresses, you may wish to avoid more intricate or lace wedding garter designs as they might be visible from underneath your skirt.
Ferne, Iris, Juniper and Willow are probably the sleekest of all our garters, especially if worn just above the knee.
If you have a larger skirt with lots of layers you could wear any of our bridal garters.
If you have a lace dress you might want to continue the theme by choosing a lace bridal gartersuch as our Grace, Ella, Clara and Catherine garters. If you are wearing satin or silk you might consider silk wedding garters such as Iva, Evony and Hera.
