2008 Prom Garters

Shop for prom garters 2008

Garters were brought into fashion by wealthy men to hold up their socks.
Although the history of the garter is not very glamorous or lady-like, the
garter then went on to be used by brides on their wedding day. The groom
had the privilege of taking off the brides garter and sending it to their
guests. This symbolized the groom taking the innocence away from his bride.
The male guest who caught the bride was said to be the next male to marry.
For the prom garter, prom girls generally choose a satin garter that matches
the color of their prom dress, prom shoes, prom handbag, prom gloves, and sometimes even prom makeup and has an innocent (black, white, or ivory)
lace ruffle around the bottom of it. The garter is given as a gift to the
prom girl's date in exchange for his bowtie symbolizing a remembrance of
their prom date together.
