Nicole-Lynn: Oh how fun! I love the simple monogram garter in the teal blue color! It would be fun to win this, and not have that extra expense.
Kelli: I love the sports team garters. I would want a black and gold one for Wake Forest Demon Deacons. My Fiance plays on the O Line for Wake. It has been a major part of our lives and I will be incorporating little touches of football and our journey of football into the wedding, such as grooms cakes, we will play the fight song and so forth. So having a garter as a surprise for him, with Wake Forest Design would be awesome!
Jessica: I got engaged in November and had been thinking off and on for months what to get as a wedding garter. This is my fiancee's second marriage and my first, and he is being very patient will all of the 'girl stuff' and expense that goes into planning a wedding, when he would be satisfied with going to Las Vegas! The wedding garter is really the only thing for him, and I want to make it special. I decided to look for Nascar garters since he is a huge fan, and after weeks of looking I finally found one that looks CLASSY on Victoria's site! I purchased it on the spot, but if I could win back the purchase price my fiancee would be SO happy I was able to give him a fabulous gift on our wedding day without the extra expense!
Staci: I love the GaToR ones (like 134SPC212 or 220)!! I just graduated from the University of Florida, and my fiance will be graduating from there in August, just before our wedding. We actually met at UF and my fiance is easily the biggest gator fan I've ever met. I'm sure we'd be having an entirely orange and blue wedding if he had his way with the planning. :) I decided to go with a different color scheme (lol) but we're trying to find some fun ways to incorporate our favorite team...and I know it would be a pleasant surprise when he sees that orange and blue garter!
Shannon: I love the Florida Gator garter. I am a graduate of UF, both graduate and undergraduate. My fiance is a Georgia Bulldog fan, so it is a fun rivalry. My new monogram will be SCE, but when typed in true monogram format, it is SEC! It is meant to be...always a GATOR!
Becky Lee: I absolutely love all of these fun, frilly garters, but I knew right away I had to go with style 3 in the orange and blue. I have always wanted to surprise my fiance with a Gator garter (I can just the smile on his face when he pulls it off!)- but have not yet been able to find one that also fit my girly style- until now! Although my fiance is now graduated, I am still in school and such a fancy undergarment is just not in the budget. Winning this is an amazing contest would provide me with a beautiful garter and an amazing memory on our wedding day. Go something blue and orange :)
Krista: This is amazing...I can't believe a came upon this WONDERFUL give away! I designed my garter, and wanted to place an order but have not been able to fit it into my budget. I want to surprise my husband with a United States Navy Garter! I really want to go with the royal blue USN garter(Style 01- 113MIL108) How cool would it be to use this as my something blue and honor my hubby at the same time!!
Kara: I would love to have an orange and blue, UF garter. My fiance and I are rivals, I went to FSU, so it would be a huge surprise for him!
Nicole: I am a big believer in fate. I enlisted in the Air Force in 2005 and was given my top job choice C-130 engine maintenance. I was put in class with a man who would later become my fiance. Fate led us to be stationed in Florida together and is allowing us to spend some of our deployed time in Iraq together, even though it caused us to have to push back our wedding date. I found Victoria's site just by through a search on google. We are having our wedding at The Fort Snelling Memorial Chapel on September 11th 2010. We both heard the "call to arms" after the attacks on September 11th, and enlisted once we turned 18. We want to keep our military connection a part of our wedding. I love the Style 4 camo ruffle garters that Victoria makes. Due to economic trouble our parents are unable to help us with the cost of the wedding. Winning this contest would be one less financial burden and one more way to help keep our military presence alive at our wedding.
Lisa: Danielle and Cassandra, your garters are gorgeous !!! I love them all, what great attention to detail. Lovely "craft-womanship" !!! Hugs, Lisa
Cassandra: Thanks Lisa! The Garters are actually made by Victoria, of Custom Wedding Garters. We agree-- she does a fabulous job!
hollie: That beachy garter is the cutest thing ever! Very creative & perfect for a beach theme wedding... Makes me wanna do my wedding over just so I can wear that! lol
