Second Time Wedding Dresses






A second marriage is a very important event in a bride’s life, if not, more important than the first time she got married, mostly because the fear of a second divorce and everything. Beyond that, a second bride must wear a second time wedding dress, and that is the main part of our discussion today. Many believe that a second bride doesn’t “deserve”, it’s not correct to wear the white dress a second time around.




As the white wedding dress still represents, in most countries of the world the symbol for purity and virginity, it will be some kind of disobedience to these beliefs, and to the church, for a second bride to wear a white wedding dress again. But the opinions are divided, as well as the beliefs regarding the virginity of the first bride. No one can tell for sure if the first bride is marrying in some virginity virtue, but all we know is that a first bride is more likely to be pure, than a second bride.

But this is a different story, what we want to find out now, is whether a second bride must or mustn’t wear a second white dress. We are speaking now in terms of “must” or “should”, because in this era no one cares about traditions and religions anymore. Therefore, if one wants to get married for the second time in a white dress, is very free to do it! Since no one can “legally” prevent this thing to happen, any second bride could wear whatever she wants.  It’s a question of decency, morality and ethics. But as we already said, these are dead and buried qualities as the modern age embraced us till our brains.

If the encore bride can say “yes” to the second white dress, then nothing could stop her in creating this sort of gown. The fashion world forces us to accept its trends, otherwise, if we can’t keep the rhythm we risk looking old fashion and preconceived.

Despite all that, the second time wedding dress must be elected with more precaution and sobriety, because we don’t want to look too extravagant or too fancy. It’s a second wedding and everybody knows it, so we don’t have to make a big fuss of it. If one can’t decide whether to wear the white wedding dress again, she can always choose a nearest color, such as ivory, cream or pastel. The range of options is even larger and more diversified than for the classic first wedding dress.

The personal taste of a second bride is now even sharper, more elaborated and more mature. At the first wedding the young brides aren’t so very sure with what they truly want, because tastes are constantly changing, until they get better and better. Your sense of fashion, personality and lifestyle should be the guiding to your second time wedding dress option. Maybe you want to change the aspect a little bit, to wear something completely different from what you wore at your first wedding, and go a little bit unpredictable. That applies specially when you want to forget everything about your first marriage, and therefore you must definitely try on something new and trendy.

    I want to try something new and totally different from my first wedding, but not because I want to forget my first marriage. I have good memories and a great kid from that marriage, so I don’t want to forget it. But I’ve changed and I want to show this through my wedding gown. And no matter what others may say, I will wear a white dress. It’s my wedding and it’s my second husband’s wedding as well. And we both want to wear white. I agree with you that a second wedding dress should be more mature, but apart from the first dress, I don’t think the others are fit for this kind of wedding. The short one is too… naked, while the other is too heavy, with all those roses there.
