FAQs Garters
What is your standard size garter?
Our standard size would normally fit UK dress size 12-16, around 19-21 inches. Most brides tend to wear their garter around 5-6 inches above the knee but as they are all elasticated you can wear it a little below or above, wherever feels comfortable.
If 12-16 is not the right size for you you can have one custom made to fit, don't worry - the price will stay the same!
Can I have a garter custom made to fit as I've got an awkward leg size?
Yes you can! They are all made to order so just let us know a leg measurement where possible or if buying for a gift the brides dress size and we will make especially for you. The price will stay the same no matter the size.
Help, I forgot to order my garter.....can you make a garter extra quick?
We've never let anybody down yet! Our normal posting days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday. But we can fit in extra deliveries if super urgent.
Your best option if you need an urgent order is to choose the design you like and then get in touch just to double check how quickly you will receive. If the wedding is within a few days the special delivery option will be recommended aas you can then receive your garter within 48hrs.
Can I change the colours?
Yes!
The colours of all the ribbons and embroidery can be changed to a colour of your choosing. The pearls come in many different shades. If you would like to dicuss colours changes drop us an email of what you would like and we can confirm if this is possible.Then it will just be a case of making a note of the changes when ordering.
Do you sell plus size garters?
Absolutely! We make them all to order and so can make any size. To have one made to fit simply mesure your leg where you wish to wear iy=t and then tell us the actual measurement. We will then make to that size. Don't worry about the fullness of the lace or satin, we will add extra materials to ensure the frills look just as gorgeous. The price will stay the same no matter the size.
Who buys the garter?
Today there's no etiquette as to who purchases the garter. It can be the bride herself, bridesmaid, mother of the bride or quite often the groom!
A custom made garter makes a beautiful gift no matter who buys it.
If you are buying a garter as a gift you can choose to have delivered directly to the bride to be. I never include any pricing in my packages.
Can you ship overseas?
Yes, everything we make can be posted worldwide. For international shipping we use Royal Mail trackable. When your order has been posted we will send you a confirmation email along with the tracking number. Please allows around 3 weeks as delays can sometimes happen.
Can I make changes to a design?
You are very welcome to make changes to any of the designs. If there are 2 designs you like let us know your ideas and between us we can work out the best way to make it for you.
Can you make using my fabric?
Yes, we can make using fabric that maybe you have from your Mum or Grandmothers wedding dress. We have made custom orders from all sorts of things so if you have something you would like used just get in touch to discuss.
Where on my leg should I wear my garter?
On the experience of past brides brides most ten to wear them around 5-6 inches above the knee. Everybody is different though and so you should wear yours where it feels comfortable for you!
Can you include a trinket or badge that I have?
We sure can. We would be happy to work into a design maybe a football badge or special piece of jewellery. Contact us to let us know what you would like and we can advise if this is possible.
