When the bride and groom are each from a different country it's a merge of the two! My lovely bride who ordered this special Country N' State Garter set wanted a garter that represented both Canada and the USA, so we came up with the design shown here. The toss garter was a simple red satin band without any lace - just two flag pins and a white ribbon loop. The keepsake garter was specially made with red and white on the left and a custom made embroidery design of the red maple leaf. The right side of the band has the red, white and blue of the USA. It's embellished with white and silver lace and Swarovski Crystals.
How great it is when you can have at least one item that represents the two of you as one. Having a Custom Wedding Garter created to represent each of you is the perfect way of doing so without being overly eccentric in your wedding design. Since the garter is such a private and hidden part of the bridal wear, it can easily be the one "over the top" item without ever impacting the feel of your event. Classy, traditional, or ultra modern... what ever your wedding style, a custom garter can be WHAT EVER YOU WANT!
(toss garter is style 01, Keepsake is style 06 with embroidery and crystal upgades)

I love how you combined the two! Luckily the colors work together. :)
I have my furnace leak under control and am now awaiting estimates for the replacement. Fun! ~Val
yes sometimes the colors don't always work together but it's the sentimental thing that overrides the colors at that point. ;)
glad you got the furnace worked out!! bet your warm and toasty by now. :)
as always, you are pushing the envelope of creativity. No wonder you are tops in your field ! Did you find the american colors together or did you have to sew those together yourself ?
Thanks BBQ - I appreciate your compliment. Everything is constructed by me. It was all raw ribbon and lace and I sewed everything to make it what it is. It's not an easy garter to create but looks fab when competed.
