Julianne Smith’s Wedding Garters

Posted by MeganH on Jun 03, 2009

Bring back the garter tradition with style! It is no longer seen merely as a bride’s something blue, but it can be her something pink, something yellow or something green with white polka dots!

Leading this trend is Julianne Smith who designs fun and stylish wedding garters for today’s brides. Last week, members of our WeddingWire Team, Ashley and Meg, had the pleasure of attending the launch of Julianne’s new garter collection at DC hotspot, Hello Cupcake! They had a blast meeting Julianne and connecting with wedding professionals and brides in the DC area.
