Wedding Week: The Great Garter Vote

August 2, 2012

And welcome back for the first official post of Angie & Colby’s Wedding Week!  Booyah!  And for today’s post, we’re bringing back the lovely and talented Momma Bear who recently crafted the ring bearer pillow.  This time around, she’s crafted up a trio of garter options.  I asked her to help make me a garter because the ones at craft stores are super cheesy and kind of lame and the ones on Etsy are gorgeous but a bit on the pricey side.  So I gave my mom an inspiration pic and she went to town.  She made three options because that’s what my mom does, and I’m looking to you my dear readers to help me decide which one is “the one” since I can’t make a decision to save my life and you all have impeccable taste.  See how I’m buttering you up so you’ll be more apt to vote?!  Sneaky sneaky!

Option #1

Option #2

Option #3

They’re all pretty similar but each have their own little bit of pizazz.  Option 1 has this zig zag ribbon going on where option 2 has this raised pyramid-like ribbon adornment and option 3 has beads.  I don’t know which one!  They’re all so pretty.

So this is where we get into the audience participation portion of the program and I challenge you to leave your “vote” in the comments section below.  See…I challenged you so you have to do it now.  C’mon…you know you wanna!  Which will it be, option #1 with the simple and understated ribbon or option #2 with textured, pyramid like ribbon?  Or will you choose option #3 complete with beads?  Picture me humming the Jeopardy theme in the background while you decide.

And we’re down to only 8 days to go, only two of them will you find my butt in the office.  Vacation time here we come!

Pssst…HUGE thank you to my mom for making such amazing garters!  I really do love them all.  And if you missed yesterday’s post introducing Wedding Week, we’ll be back on August 12th, as newlyweds, with our regularly scheduled home improvement/DIY programming.
