Bridal garters are one of the oldest wedding traditions to have stood the test of time when other traditions have been long forgotten. Remaining a significant part of bridal attire, bridal garters are thought to bring luck and fortune to the happy couple. The tradition of brides throwing their bridal garters is thought to date back to the 14th century England when wedding guestes believed owning a piece of the brides wedding dress would bring good luck. The brides dress was literally tore at and so, to keep the dress and themselves intact, they began throwing their bridal garters to the male guests. Sometimes the male guests would become rowdy and attempt to remove the garter from the bride themselves, so it became custom for the groom to remove the bridal garter from his brides leg and throw it himself.
