Second Wedding Dresses

....Mean Second Chances

But life is life, and anything is possible.

So, if you are planning on giving marriage a second chance, here are a few do's and don'ts you might appreciate knowing.

There is really no religious significance of wearing white on your wedding day.

However, sometime after World War II, it sort of became a tradition that women getting married for the second time in second wedding dresses should not wear white as it started to represent the purity and innocence of a virgin bride.

However, so many norms and taboos have been put aside over the years that now whether it's a first marriage or the sixth, it's entirely up to the bride what she prefers to wear.

It's simple and elegant and the simple straight lines are very form flattering.

So, if you want to wear white for your second wedding, then by all means, go ahead!

Usually brides under 35-40 will prefer to wear white for a second wedding.

But many older brides prefer to steer clear of all white second wedding dresses and opt for something even classier such as a champagne, gold or ivory gown or a white gown accented in light pastel hues.

Next comes the veil. Although it is ultimately the bride's choice, it is still considered in poor taste for a second time bride to cover her face with a 2 or 3 tier veil.

Unfortunately,Those long elaborate formal veils are still reserved for first time brides.

But a more appropriate choice for a second time bride could be a bird cage veil, simple hat or fancy headpiece to accent the gown.

Why not consider wearing a short wedding dress, cocktail length dress or beautiful couture suit that you can even wear again.
