Color of Bride's Dress

Do you think it is inappropriate for a bride to wear white if this is her second marriage (but not second wedding) although many magazines today say that a bride can wear any color she chooses.

Re: Color of Bride's Dress

Traditionally and Biblically, the color white of a Bride's wedding dress represents "Purity." These days, brides basically where any color she chooses.

Re: Color of Bride's Dress

Hell yeah wear white! It represent your pure heart. And I think it perfectly appropriate. A little inside secret: Guys LOVE that their brides wear white. We polled 380 guys married and unmarried in 2001 and 89% preferred white dresses... even if the bride had children or had been marrried before. But African American women prefer ivory. hmmm... Something to think about!

I wore a soft white because I didn't like the harshness of a bright white dress for my evening wedding, but when I renew my vows I am wearing a blinging white dress! lol

Re: Color of Bride's Dress

browncat, welcome to the site! Definitely wear white if you want to. Just because it's your second wedding doesn't mean that you can't be happy. My friend got married last year and her dress was white with red trim. No one looked at her funny, no one got upset.

Do what makes you and your FH happy. :) Good luck!

If you want to wear white, wear white. If you want to wear green, wear green. Point is: Wear whatever is going to make you happy.

Re: Color of Bride's Dress

Thanks to everyone who replied to my question. I feel so much better now. I am going to wear white and wear it proud.

Now I need your opinion on colors for bridesmaid dresses. I wanted to use something in the pink family or turquoise family. Any suggestions? What do you think about using both of those colors together. I read on the board where someone used pool and oasis together. I've seen the color pool but I've never seen the color oasis. Anyone know where I could check out the color oasis.

The groomsmen have a problem with wearing the color pink so I thought that maybe they could wear black suit with silver vest and tie. Help!!!!!!!!

Re: Color of Bride's Dress

brown, what are your colors for your wedding? Have you picked them yet? I think once you have your color sheme, everything else will fall into place.

Here's what I could find on the color oasis.

this dress is oasis/pool

SeptBride's nick name is Askalot, but we tease her and call her Knowsalot because she is very resourceful.

Browncat I love that color oasis. I also believe that it would really nice with pink. Maybe your grooms men can wear black tuxes with vests in the color of turquoise/oasis. Your possibilities are unlimited.
