Even though getting married again is more common than you might think, most wedding advice tends to focus on first-time brides.
So, today, we explore ways to find the ideal dress for your next walk down the aisle, regardless of how many times you may have done it before.
Join us for tips and guidance for finding the perfect dress for your next big day.
Dressing for Remarriage
With nearly half of all marriages ending in divorce, the chance of walking down the aisle again is high. However, there is little guidance for brides not getting married for the first time.
Wearing White for a Second Wedding
Whether or not to wear white again is a personal choice for the bride. Even though white is more traditional for first marriages, there are no hard and fast rules. The freedom of choice increases with a second wedding but could lead to decision fatigue. So, focus on whatever makes you feel best, whether traditional white or something bold and unique.
Wedding Dress vs. Ready-to-Wear
Many second-time brides opt for ready-to-wear outfits instead of traditional wedding dresses. Age and personal style play a role, with younger brides sometimes leaning more towards classic bridal gowns, while older brides might prefer something that feels more authentic to them, like a colorful, stylish, ready-to-wear dress. The key is finding something that resonates with your particular style and the atmosphere of your celebration.
Exploring Non-Traditional Colors
Wearing colors other than white is a growing trend, especially for second marriages. Historically, brides wore their best dress, often in colors like black, which was once considered luxurious. Today, however, brides can choose colors or bold patterns that reflect their personality and style while maintaining a sense of bridal elegance.
To Veil or Not to Veil?
Wearing a veil for a second wedding is entirely optional. While some brides may still enjoy the tradition of a veil, others prefer alternative accessories like a sheer cape or a chic fascinator. It is all about what feels authentic and complements your look.
Alternatives to Veils
For those who don’t want a traditional veil, capes, fascinators, or birdcage veils can add a touch of drama and elegance. Those alternatives allow brides the flair and flexibility to have a bridal moment without following conventional trends.
Favorite Second-Wedding Looks
Second weddings often allow for more creativity and personal expression. Brides have rocked everything from a stunning, colorful Oscar de la Renta gown at a Brooklyn disco-themed wedding to elegant, understated dresses that could feature on the red carpet. The focus has shifted from tradition to whatever feels comfortable for the bride and suits the mood of the occasion.
