Second Weddings

White wedding dress?

I am getting married on 10/10/10.  It is a second marriage for both of us.  The ceremony/reception are being held at the same site.  It is at 1 oclock on a sunday afternoon and the "look" I am going for is casual elegance.  So, with all that said, I am wearing a beautiful chocolate brown dress.  All my colors are jewel toned fall colors.  I keep stressing that maybe I should wear a white dress.  What do other knotties think?

    There is no longer a rule that you can't wear a white wedding dress.  However, that doesn't mean that it is now mandatory to do so.  One of the advantages to being a somewhat older and/or second-time bride is that you can pick which traditions are meaningful to you, and ditch the rest, typically with less pressure from your family.

    Go with what you want!  It is your day!  Like what pp said, all the rules seem to go out the window.  Don't stress!

    I agree with pp, it's your day, your wedding and your choice.  Our age has given us the wisdom to know that the rules are nothing more than a guideline to follow.  The wedding is what you and your FI want and what is special to you.  I think it sound lovely and you'll be a beautiful bride :)

    I totally agree with doing what you want this time.

    I knew I didn't want to wear a white dress, wasn't sure what I wanted to wear. Two years ago, we went to FI ex-wife's wedding and she wore an eggplant colored dress - and right then and there he simply asked me if I'd wear a lighter color. Which I was fine with. My dress is platinum.
