"Shh - don't tell anyone I have a secret little hiding place right in the back of me :)
It's a pocket sewn on. The bride can keep her lucky coin in it or if she wanted to , I could have had a larger pocket made which could fit some lipstick or maybe her Money, ID and Credit card. "
That's what the little pocket garter has to say.
Pocket garters are so cute, and functional as well. Perfect for that lucky little coin or maybe an heirloom button from grandma... Besides the small pocket, larger pockets work well to hold items you may want handy at the night club but don't want to carry your purse. Why not keep it right there concealed in a place ONLY YOU will know about.
BACK - Custom made pocket for a lucky coin. This is a style 02 custom garter - you may order yours at the style 02 page. if you want a pocket - please be sure to add it on with the drop down menu which is part of the style 02 order page.
The Garter above was purchased by Juliane. Here is what she had to say about it.
BEFORE IT ARRIVED TO HER:
Dear
Victoria Joanne,
I
was two days away from chewing my nails. Would the garter turn out, be
made, be shipped, or would I have to rush around trying to find a replacement?
Then your shipping announcement came and now I will mob the mail carrier
for a few days in happy anticipation. The pictures of the garter are
absolutely adorable, better than I imagined and PERFECT.
I
can't wait to get the package.
It
was a pleasure dealing with you and your service is outstanding. I will
notify you of the garter's arrival, and I will be more than pleased to
recommend you and your service to anyone who'll listen. It is rare these
days to "get what you pay for" but you seem to be an exception,
Thank
you so much,
Juliane ~ KS
AFTER SHE RECEIVED IT:
Dear
Victoria Joanne,
The
garter arrived today, and it is every bit as cute and pretty as the pictures
showed. I have to force myself to leave it alone, because it is so pretty
and fun, as well as functional. The coin pocket is going to come in so
handy! I am grinning from ear to ear and can't wait to surprise my
brother's bride with this special token. I am sure it will become an
instant heirloom.
Thank
you for including your card as well, I will surely recommend you to others who
are looking for an exquisite token to keep the memory of a special event.
Your service and craftsmanship are outstanding.
Here is a royal blue and white wedding garter which was sewn special as a gift for the bride. There are light purple Swarovski Crystal hearts next to each name and then blue crystal hearts hanging below the bow. Such a sweet and romantice "something blue"
Swarovski Crystal Garter - with names and date embroidered onto the band and many crystals all
sewn by hand around the lace.
FEEDBACK - Summer 2012
Thank you so much for all the hard
work you put into making this garter. It has exceeded my expectations. When I
first saw your website I started telling all my friends. I love your work and I
know it is not an easy task. I will look for it in the mail and let you know
the moment it arrives. I can't wait for the bride to see it. It is absolutely gorgeous.
I have updated all the custom order product pages to include a drop-down menu for donating to the Ten Minas Project.
There are options that vary from a simple $5.00 donation to a generous $300 donation.
ALL Donations will be matched! So if you add $10 donation to your order The total being donated to the Project will be $20 and if you donate $300 the total donated will be $600. Together we can blow this thing out of the water. But I can't do it alone. So please be generous and give today.
I am so grateful to God for all the wonderful and amazing changes he is making in me. He truly is changing my life and by changing my mind... the way I feel, think and react to life circumstances. Hope you have experienced his life changing Love as well. And if you haven't I hope that someday you WILL. :)
Because of my gratitude I would like to participate in the Ten Midas Project which my church charged us with yesterday. Our pastor gave out $1000 cash ($10.00 per person ) to anyone who wanted to participate. We have all been given this money to put it to work for God. This fundraiser is based on
You can click that link above to read it if you like.
Scroll down to read more details about the Ten Minas Project
The basic premise of this parable is those who can be entrusted with little can be entrusted with much. I look forward to blowing this out for God. The specific personal proceeds that each person brings will be secret in the congregation, but I will be telling you all the encouraging stats for my personal $10.00 part. It is my hope and dream to not only double or triple but to add on at least TWO zeros to the end of that 10. Yes My goal is to raise at LEAST $1000.00
If you are a child of God and want to participate in this amazing and glorifying en-devour please make a donation below - OR if you plan on ordering a wedding garter please hold off and donate at that time. Because there will be a SPECIAL BLESSING - All donations that come in with any garter order will be matched 100% So if you donate $10.00 - Then $20.00 will go into the fundraiser ... if you give $100.00 then $200.00 will go into the fundraiser total.
I will be updating my wedding garter shopping cart pages with donation boxes this week. I look forward to seeing God Move the hearts and minds of his people, and to growing this fundraiser to amazing heights over the next 14 weeks.
Around mid September we will be turning in our donations and ALL proceeds that I raise will be going to benefit two places in Springfield MA. half will go to the Springfield Pregnancy Care Center and half will go to the Springfield Rescue Mission. Both are Christian based programs to help the community in such worthy and life saving ways.
Received a fun custom garter order a couple months ago. It was for a nice fellow named Chris. He ordered a Yellow garter with Green lettering to say - MellowKing Music embroidered onto the satin band. He was a total pleasure to work with. Each step of the way he was communicating with me to let me know if what I was first envisioning was correct and then later if what I created for him was correct. I'm very happy to say he was definitely pleased. :)
Before Creation - I gave him the description of what I was going to create for him... this is what he had to say: "Wow.
Exactly as I chose from the website. Looks perfect."
Before Creation - I send him the order confirmation of details such as wording, coloring and style etc... this is what he said: "Thanks again!!! Can't
wait to see them when they arrive. I am recommending you to everyone I
know."
After Creation -Later once the custom wedding garters were created I emailed Chris to let him know they were done. This is what he replied back: "I will
most definitely spread the word!! You are a delight to work with, I
cannot wait to see the garters!!!"
After Creation - I emailed him photos of what I created - he then said: "OOOOH!!!, I just saw the picture!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!,
so beautiful!!! SO beautiful!!, Thank you again!!"
So I would say this was a home run in the game of custom wedding garters :) Working with Chris was definitely a highlight in my work week.
Here is how they turned out. Fun little garters :) here's his website
sew it onto her blue garter. See more images below.
All three garters above are style 02. You may purchase your own style 02 garter at this link. the reason there are two of the same garter above is because one is for tossing and the other is to keep. Some people just can't bear to toss either garter - especially if they are different. So they end up having 3 garters made so that they can toss one of the duplicates and still keeps the original. Great idea!
Testimonial:
OMG!!! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!
Thank you for the goosebumps!! Thank you so much for doing this. Please add
this to your gallery for military garters. I am eager to see it in person. I know
it was a rushed order but I thank you again for taking on the task. I have two
other friends who are getting married soon, and I will be sure to show them
what beautiful creations you have done for me. Honestly I might send you
another name tape of his to make another one, but it would be more of a display
or scrap book piece.
Again thank you for your time
and effort on my order. I now officially have my something borrowed and
something blue!! Borrowed being his name tape and well obviously where the blue
plays in!!
Thank you, thank you, thank
you... Have an awesome day/evening/week...

It was an honor and a pleasure to work with Victoria. I'm so glad I was able to make her wishes into a reality. She shipped me the name tape ASAP and I got to work. She gave me creative freedom - her only request was the shape of the garter and to to use the name tape with shades of blue. I love when my clients trust me to give me the freedom, it's a real compliment on their faith in my artistic and creative abilities. Here are more pix from the Military Name Tape project. :)
