About The Wedding Day Garter Toss
Throwing the brides garter began in France when pieces of the bridal attire were considered lucky. The bride would throw the garter to the guests at the wedding and whoever caught it could expect good luck. The groom traditionally removes the garter from the bride and throws it to the unmarried men. The man who catches it is thought to be the next to marry. At some weddings the man who catches the garter will place it on the leg of the lady who caught the bouquet or they may start the next dance. It is also common for the recipients of the bouquet and garter to have a photograph taken with the bride and groom. The garter is placed on the brides right leg, just above the knee. |

Tossing the bridal garter is a long standing wedding tradition. It’s considered a chance for the single men to share in the good fortune of the groom. In the 14th century, it was customary for the bride to toss her garter to the men.
During the tossing of the bridal garter the groom takes the bridal garter off the leg of the bride. The groom then tosses the bridal garter to the group of single men. It is "believed" that the man who catches the bridal garter will be the next to marry. The man who catches it may then put it on the leg of the woman who caught the bouquet. |
