What's This About Wearing
White? |

Although most brides tend to tone
things down a bit for a second wedding, plenty of
these brides still wear a white wedding dress. While
the dress doesn't usually have beads, sequins, or
a four-foot train, it can still be elegant. |

Michele chose to wear a white wedding dress,
but she had the back lowered six inches and had the train
shortened to make it more nontraditional. "This time I got
the dress that I wanted and that reflected my style, not the
dress that made my mom cry," she says. She did not wear a
veil. |

Whether a second-time bride opts for a wedding
dress in white or her favorite color, she generally chooses
a simpler design—and she doesn't have to mind looking sexy.
In fact, more and more second-time brides choose body-hugging
designs with cutouts that show off some skin. |

A sleek, sexy dress is far from being the
only choice. Second-time brides can get away with wearing
anything from pantsuits to floral sundresses. |

What's on top?
When it comes to headgear, wedding etiquette says a blusher
veil is definitely out for any wedding after the first one.
However, other options such as off-the-face veils, tiaras,
hats, bun rings, and flowers are fine. A second-time bride
also has the option of wearing nothing at all—on her head,
that is.

Outfitting
the Groom
Depending on the style of the wedding, a second-time groom
might wear a bowler hat and tails or a Hawaiian shirt and
shorts. Like the second-time bride, he is free to wear whatever
he deems appropriate. For an outdoor garden wedding, he might
wear a light-colored suit or simply dress pants and a dress
shirt without a tie. For a formal indoor wedding, he might
opt for a black tux.
