Encore brides sometimes have a hard time deciding what to wear to their wedding. White is now considered to be a symbol of joy rather than the traditional view of virginity. The only items a second-time bride should avoid wearing are veils and long trains. Wedding etiquette still reserves these for first-time brides only. Very often, encore brides do choose to wear the full traditional wedding attire, particularly if they were unable to do so at their first wedding.
Many encore brides choose to wear clothing at their second wedding that better suits their own personal style. This often downplays formality and invites new colors and fashions. An evening or cocktail dress is always a wonderful option, especially if you're not interested in purchasing another wedding gown. Not only will a cocktail dress save you time and money, it will also give you more free will in what you will wear.
The bottom line is this; don't worry about what others will think. This second wedding is a celebration of you and your new spouse, and it's important to do things that please the two of you.
