Bridal Prep Ideas with our Charlotte Garter

Your wedding morning is a moment unlike any other, the quiet anticipation, happy tears, and all the love in the world gathered around you. It’s where the day truly begins, and every detail helps shape your memories. At the Nottingham Lace Garter Company, we believe your bridal prep deserves accessories as special as the moment itself. That’s why our Charlotte Garter is designed not only to be worn but also treasured forever, an heirloom in the making!

Handcrafted in our Nottingham studio, the Charlotte Garter is a blend of tradition, elegance, and fine craftsmanship. She is made from wide Nottingham lace, combined with a layer of traditional ribbon slot lace, and finished with soft ivory silk ribbon delicately threaded through. A rose gold and diamante trim adds just the right amount of shimmer, ideal for brides who love a modern detail with a timeless vibe. Inside, the garter is lined in smooth ivory satin and fitted with soft elastic for a comfortable, secure fit all day long.

What makes Charlotte extra special is the ability to personalise it, turning your garter into a bespoke keepsake. Optional additions include:

Personalised embroidery with the couple’s name and wedding date, stitched onto silk and sewn inside the garter
A vintage silver sixpence, traditionally given for good luck and love
Optional custom sizing for a perfect, tailored fit (just send us your thigh measurement when ordering)

Each garter arrives gift-wrapped in tissue and nestled inside a branded white gift box, complete with a tag that explains how it was made. The perfect touch if you’re gifting this to a bride-to-be.

Bridal Prep Ideas Featuring Charlotte

To make the most of your Charlotte garter on the wedding morning, here are a few thoughtful ideas:

Make it part of your flat-lay photos– Charlotte looks beautiful styled with perfume, jewellery, your invitation suite, and other heirloom details.
Capture the moment– Ask your photographer to photograph the moment you put your garter on. It’s a lovely keepsake image for your album.
Pair with silk and lace textures– Style Charlotte with a silk robe or lace-trimmed nightwear for that extra-luxurious touch.

Make it meaningful and add personal embroidery or a sixpence for luck to elevate it from a pretty detail to something you’ll cherish forever.

Whether you’re treating yourself or gifting a loved one, the Charlotte garter is a perfect addition to any bride’s wedding morning. It’s more than just a beautiful accessory, it’s a keepsake woven with love, tradition, and timeless elegance.
