Gorgeous Garters
Traditionally the groom has the opportunity during the reception to remove the bride's garter. This often occurs in a risque display accompanied by intense hotting and hollering from the guests. Once removed, the groom then tosses the garter to the unwed male guests. Tradition holds that the winner of the garter will be the next to wed. Said gentleman is also afforded the right to dance with the unwed lady who catches the brides bouquet.
Whether you plant to partake in this tradition or not, it is still fun to wear a garter as part of your wedding attire. You will feel nothing short of spectacular wearing one of these gorgeous handmade garters from A Alicia Wedding, a London based designer.
She uses vintage, re-claimed and or organic materials when crafting these very special little lovelies. Take a look at this gorgeous garter (pictured) available for apx. $30.00, which even has a matching hair comb!
Seriously, everything in her shop is dripping in sexy gorgeousness! Not to mention that each order is protected in biodegradable packaging.

Small Fry Ties
Honestly. Could ties get any more fun than these? Take a look at these "Small Fry Ties" for boys at Sweetiepiedesign's shop on Etsy. I am head-over-heals for the awesome fabrics that she used in designing these. At only 16.99 ea, it is totally easy to outfit your ring bearer and company without breaking the bank. Anyone who has ever tired to buy nice, formal clothes for boys knows that this can be a challenge. Hopefully these little gems can make the process easier!
