One of the prettiest prom keepsakes you can have is a prom garter. They are massively popular in the USA where the tradition is to swop your garter for your prom date’s bow tie at the end of the evening. Hmmm think I’d rather have the garter than the bow tie!
Traditionally worn on the right leg just above the knee, the wearer raises her skirt a little to show it for the formal photographs. She can then ‘gift’ it to her prom date to wear round his arm for the rest of the evening showing they are a couple.
Now prom garters are jolly hard to come by in the UK so we asked garter specialist Laura George, who’s been designing and hand making exquisite wedding garters for years, to help. Laura has created the first British hand-made prom garter, complete with Prom 2012 ribbon, for all you lovelies to wear to prom 2012 and treasure forever afterwards.
Designed in palest pink soft tulle, with hand tied lipstick pink satin ribbons, it’s made with plush backed elastic for extra comfort, and comes in its own white organza bag, making it the perfect prom keepsake. Available in sizes XS-EL, it’s priced at £8 plus P&P. Order yours online now!
