Bridal Garters- one of the oldest wedding traditions

Bridal garters date back to 14th century England, where it was believed that they would bring good luck to anyone who was able to obtain a piece of the bride’s attire on her wedding day. Guests would literally tear the bride’s dress, for a piece of the fabric, much to the dismay of the bride and groom. As history progressed, and in order to keep the bride’s attire intact, a garter was made for the groom to throw at the guests. This resulted in quite aggressive and rowdy behaviour as the male guests tried to remove the garter from the bride’s leg.
