Second Marriage Wedding Gowns

When getting married the premise is to be once in life time: the first and the last time. Like the priest says at the ceremony, quoting from the Bible: “What God unified, people should not destroy”. But in some cases, unfortunate, this thing can not be accomplished. And it is better to end a marriage instead of suffering on long terms.




And life goes on. Even though in few cases a woman things about a second marriage as the traditional one: in white dress, it happens to start a new life and consider again that he is the one. You are again in the situation of choosing your bridal outfit. How the second marriage wedding gown should look like?

First of all, tradition but not only this- the religious dogmas are strict about a second marriage. Hardly is it accepted and after this there are some specifications for the bride. All these come from the meaning of the white wedding dress. It is considered that the color white represents the chastity, the purity. Consequently, for a second marriage the bride can not or should not wear the same white dress. This color is excluded.

Going further, the personal view of a bride at her second marriage is about decency and modesty. The bride thinks that it is not the case to experience the same feeling, the same situation as at the first time. So, no pompous and pretentious aspects, no bouffant or shrill look. Just an elegant dress, of a pale color.

But it depends as well on the situation. I mean a woman gets married for the second or third- and so on- time from various reasons. If she is divorced, the feeling of the wedding day is a bitter one. She is tested by a feeling of fear. From this point of view, most of the brides choose colored dresses, ones that have almost nothing in common with a bridal gown. The color is influenced by their feelings, by their mood: usually bright ones, no dark nuances.

Another situation is the second marriage when we speak about a widow. In such a case, again we speak about gowns that re not of a white color, nor the ones with veil and train. Modest, simple look.

Lastly, another reference is the age. Normally, the woman acts according to its age and so it is when it comes about a second marriage wedding gown. For a bride in her 30’s the wedding dress is the one long, with sleeves. For a bride older, over 40 years old, the wedding dress is replaced by a two piece suit.

As a conclusion, the fact is that a bride feels like a bride no matter her outfit. The important thing is the mood, the attitude.
