Weddings are bureacratic and ridculous anyway, in my view. Go to the courthouse and throw a keg party at a firehall with 15 boxes of pizza and a Punk band. This is what I will do!
It's an old outdated notion. I wore white for my second wedding. Actually, I didn't have a wedding the first time - we married at a Justice of the Peace and I wore a black dress - in hindsight, the black was totally appropriate! LOL
Same here! My first wedding was at a Justice of the Peace and I was way too poor to afford anything even close to a wedding dress (I didn't wear black, but in hindsight, I probably should have!!).....One of those dumb 18 year old mistakes! So my second wedding, I wore white and had a real wedding (as much as I could afford!)!! That was 14 years and two kids ago!!
I agree with most of the comments here. I have seen second time + brides wear ivory dresses, but if she likes white, then more power to her, and I wish her and her fiance well.
I have seen so many fashion no-no's of the past change, such as the black and white weddings that are so popular today. It used to be that wearing black to a wedding was considered inappropriate, and that only the bride should wear white.

I've read a different origin about the fancy white dress. The iconic color of purity in Christianity is blue, not white, probably to connote the heavenly sky. The Virgin Mary is usually portrayed in a blue headscarf, and Jesus is frequently depicted wearing a blue robe or sash. A white dress was a symbol of the bride's family's wealth for her to wear an otherwise useless dress. Anyway, different opinions ... not sure if anybody really knows.
As for the second-time bride, go ahead and wear white. I'd skip the veil, but that's just me.
I know someone who will be getting married for the second time soon. She told me her wedding dress is white. Do you think that's appropriate? I always thought you were supposed to wear a different color after the first wedding or is that just an old rule that went out the window just like not wearing white shoes after labor day did. If you were divorced and getting married again,would you wear white?
Yes. This is 2009, not 1959!
White is the traditional wedding color in the west but some other cultures have their own traditional wedding colors, it is nothing but a cultural construct and culture changes over time.
I do not agree with repeat brides having multiple huge wedding registries, i.e. if you already have a set of silver or china, what do you need with another one? But I always bring a gift to the wedding whether the bride/groom is getting married for the first time or not!
