  1. Football Wedding Garters

    Liverpool garter which is embroidered with You’ll never walk alone.

    When I first started making football garters I only made 2 styles, now I have several!

    The original designs were quite plain but as they have become more popular brides are now wanting the fancier ones as well. So they have gradually evolved with extra ribbons, crystal and embellishments. I have several different patterns to choose from but you are free to choose from any garter designs shown on my site and then request it to be made into a FC garter.

    You can also 2 or more colours for the ribbons & embroidery.

    Spurs Football Garter For Footy Fans!

    Don't see your favourite team on the site?

    Not a problem! They are all made to order and so choose the design you like and make a note on checkout of the football team you would like, a note of their colours is also useful. So even if your husband to be supports an unknown local team it can be made up for you.

    If your team has a special slogan or saying such as the Liverpool one above

    'You'll Never Walk Alone'

    Then I can embroider that for you. I'm always happy to discuss with you your idea's and if I can make it I will.

    As with all the designs on here they can be made to fit any leg size. So whether you need a petite through to a plus size I can make it for you.

    Buying as a gift?

    They all come wrapped in tissue paper with confetti sparkles so you can order and then have posted directly to the bride to be. I never enclose an invoice of the price.

    Footy garters make a great talking point on the wedding day or save it for the wedding night to surprise your new hubby.....

  2. Can I have a garter made to fit my leg? Even if I think I need an awkward size?

    Yes you can!

    All our garters can be made to fit. They are all made from scratch in our workshop so if you think you need an awkward size just tell us your leg measurement and we will get creating! 

    Don't worry about how it will look.....if you need a plus size then the amount of lace or satin will be increased so the folds of the fabric or gathers of the lace will look just as it does in the pictures. There will be no change to the price.

    All you need to do now is choose the design you like!

    Dont forget- the colours can all be changed to suit your wedding theme. So if you see a design you like but not the colours of the ribbons or embroidery just make a note on checkout of what you would like.

    If you need an help just give us a call or email.

  3. All the wedding accessories on the site are designed and made by Debbie Howe.

    I have a wonderful space for my workshop in the village of West Butterwick.

    I strive to create new designs, I want them to be different to the run of the mill wedding idea's out there!

    Although I do create my designs I do also welcome idea's from customers. If you have an idea in your mind please do share it with me, I'm sure together we can design something.

    If you have a special item of clothing or maybe a trinket then choose the design you like and I will tell you how I can include your fabric or special trinket.

  4. Are you looking for something to hold your wedding rings on your wedding day but don't want a ring cushion? 

    Well these super cute ring bags could be just the ticket. They are small enough for a child to hold  onto as they can slip their hands through the ribbon handles. Also perfect for the best man to slip into his pocket.

    Both sides are sprinkled with Swarovski AB crystals and they are blooming gorgeous! They really do capture the light and give a wonderful sparkle. Add a bit of extra bling to your wedding day!

    Made in a white or ivory duchess satin and at £19.99 they won't break the bank!

  5. Our Rebecca design is a gorgeous garter and as you can see very photogenic!

    The Swarovski pearls & crystals are a real stunner in the sunshine. It's made from a nice soft lace and so will fit fairly flat against the leg under the wedding dress. The blue of the pearls is a beautiful shade and perfect for the brides 'something blue'.

    To give the garter an extra special touch you can also choose to have it personalised or add a sixpence bag. The embroidery will be made in the same shade of blue as the pearls.

    More details can be seen on the shop page.

  9. Hi, I hope you are all keeping well & staying safe during Covid-19.

    Several weeks in and it's all still so surreal. I'm lucky that I live in a lovely quiet village in West Butterwick, Lincs, away from too much hustle & bustle. Just me & the doggy. I have a large workshop attached to my house. Many years ago it was infact the village post office, so plenty of room and no need to travel to work!

    Work, although quieter, has carried on pretty much as normal. A lot of my weddings are being postponed for several month's, most until next year.

    For anybody that has had a wedding garter from me with a wedding date embroidered but are now having to postpone I can change the embroidery for you for a small fee to cover costs & postage. Please do get in touch if you would like this.

    If you have any questions regarding orders or delivery times please do contact me, I'm always happy to help.

    The dog and I are enjoying lots of countryside walks, the odd bbq or two and a little gin. (That's me drinking the gin, not the dog!)

    For now enjoy the sunshine & extra time spent with family and most of all stay safe.

  10. A few weeks ago I added my 'Meadow' garter to the site and it has proved to be a best seller on the site. A simple but very pretty wedding garter

    I had a wonderful thank you card with a gift inside from my customer when she recieved her order. Such a lovely surprise, thank you Lesley x

    It's always lovely to receive positive feedback, it really does make me happy to know how happy customers are with my products.

    Thank You

     

    As the lace is so pretty I decided 3 simple pearls was all that was needed on the front. This is an affordable garter at just £12.99 but has the option to have extra's added as detailed below.

    It is still custom made and so if you need an extra small through to a plus size that is no problem at all, just let me know a leg measurement and I will make to fit especially for you. Don't worry - if you need a plus size I always add extra satin & lace to ensure it stays as pretty as in the picture.

    It looks lovely as it is or extra's can be added which include a sixpence bag (genuine sixpence coin included) and personalisation at £4.00 each. You can add the extra or have as shown.

  11. Top of my to do list for 2020 was to start making personalised bridal  handkerchiefs. I've turned so many customers away over the years but I simply didn't have time to fit them in.

    I've kept my first design nice and simple with a delicate bow & 3 Swarovski rhinestones to add just a touch of sparkle.

    This hankie design can be embroidered with the couples names, wedding date or initials. Shown with tiffany blue embroidery & ribbon, but these can be any colour of your choice.

    As customers order them I will add more photo's and design. Shop for handkerchiefs

    I hope you like, it's the little touches like this that make the wedding day!

  12. I'm often asked if I can make a design using an item of clothing from something very special and the answer is yes!

    Jade asked me to incorporate her grandmothers dress into a garter for her daughter's wedding. Jade decided on 'Tilly' blue lace garter and I set to work. I managed to use the belt from the dress as it was a long enough fabric to use without having any joins in it. The dress itself was a beautiful blue floral organza, gorgeous but very slippery to work with. I've trimed the blue lace with Swarovski rhinestones and then added the organza running through the centre of the garter. The result was lovely and I had a very happy customer who sent me a wonderful review on guest book page.

    If you have some fabric you would like me to use please do get in contact to discuss. I'm able to work with most fabrics and I'm sure between us we can come up with a suitable design. I've used customers fabric to make all sorts of designs and I'd love to make something for you too!
