For both FI & I this is our second marraiges, and I know the etiquette is white is a NO NO. We plan to marry next May 08, in Destin on the beach... So far i'm thinkin a cute lil sundress (yellow) But now i'm having second thoughts... any opinions? Thanks

I am not one for traditions so I would say, if you wanted to wear white, go right ahead. If you prefer a sundress and are just looking for an opinion on that one, I think it has lots of sex appeal. Yellow isnt the most flattering color on me, I would probably opt for a lower key pale yello, light blue, or pink. But if the color looks good on you and bright fresh colors is what you are going for then I think that one would be a good fit. Alot of beach weddings I have seen pics of usually feature more flowing styles (of course I would be worried the dress would blow right up over my head =)

Coming from a second-timer, I would say if you want to wear white, do it. If I were going to have another wedding, I would go with a white dress if I found one I really liked. Everyone knows that I have been married once, but I don't think anyone would point out the fact that I shouldn't be wearing white. Some people probably aren't even aware of the "rule". I don't think traditional rules apply so much anymore. Even though it's your second, treat it like it's your first. It's a new beginning. You should feel free to do what you like.

Whenever I picture a wedding on the beach, I imagine a dress that flows and sways lightly in the breeze. I don't think the color matters so much -- (I'd personally opt for a lighter color), so I wouldn't worry about wearing white. If you want to wear a white dress, I don't see why you shouldn't. Congratulations on your engagement, by the way!

It seems to me the issue isn't so much wearing white, as it is wearing a huge white wedding gown. The two second weddings I can think of have both been older brides: one wore an off white dress, the other wore a pale blue suit (both MOB type outfits). For a beach wedding, I think a sundress is a great choice, and I think a white one would be fine, as long as it wasn't over the top bridal, or a color is great too, if you prefer that. I think the dress you posted does seem a little sexy. Personally, I would go for something a little more flowy, a little longer, and a little less cleavagey.

I didn't have a wedding the first time, and I wore a tea length ivory dress the first time.. yick.  I wouldn't wear a sun dress like that for my wedding.. but that's just me. When Steve & I renew our vows (funny to think about, since we are only going on our first anniversary. LOL), it will be less formal for sure.. and still beach related.. (We love the ocean!). Don't let someone tell you that you can't wear white.. I'm so glad I did. It made me feel amazing. You can find my stuff in this post.. Stuff of mine I posted.. :)   |

I concur with SandDiegoLady. I was recently married on the beach and wore white. I am older (46) and this was not either of our first weddings. When we first talked about getting married on the beach, I had thoughts of a simple, non-white dress, but the more I thought about, the more I wanted the more flowing, white dress. Mine was not traditional, but fairly simple yet elegant. Bottm line -wear what makes you and your husband-to-be comfortable :-) ImpatientOne |

It was like looking in a magazine.[ :)] I wasn't on PS back in August, so I just saw your original thread. Do you have info on your dress? Sorry to hijack this thread SB!

I know everyone has a different conception of how they want to look on thier wedding day but if I did not choose to wear white for whatever reason, I still don't think I would pick the dress you've posted. It might be due to the color but in any case, I'd want whatever I picked to look bridal-y.......at least a little bit. Maybe at least a tea-length? Or in a flowy material as others have suggested. I've seen wedding gowns with that sort of neckline but I think because they were longer, and therefore only showing skin in one general area instead of two, it looked so nice :) I'm probably being too old fashioned though!!!! Have you looked at champagne colored gowns? They have very simple gowns that will have a halter neckline that would lay off the white while still looking bridal. It's darker than ivory but not nearly as yellow as the dress you posted. |

well I had at first consulted FI about "the" dress and we are both wanting casual/comfy. but the more I look at that dress the more I don't feel it's appropriate, esp since his dad is marrying us!! I do love the halter look though, or maybe spagetti strap with the princess cut bodice... Well I have just over a year to decide... we have set a date!!! May 17, 2008 @ sunset!!! Thank you ladies for all your input!!! I knew I could count on all your honest opinions, the are GREATLY appreciated!!! and I may just wear white!!! |

wear white--its just a color and all brides are beautiful in it. there are so many flowy gorgeous halter styles. buy the yellow one for the honeymoon to wear to dinner. have fun and don't worry about what people think--its your day. my friend is getting married for the 2nd time on the beach this june--she's wearing white...so did my sil the 2nd time.

Honestly, I think you should wear what color you want to. I really don't see 2nd time brides wearing non-white all that often. You could definitely get away with ivory or champagne and this would still look bridal. Forgive me, but I think the dress you linked is a little too casual and va va voom looking. How about a silk tea length ivory dress instead?

I worked very hard for several months putting everything together. Yes! I bought my gown, on www.elegantgowns.com It was VERY fast and beautifully made. The beading was spectacular. My gown is actually currently on sale. (Argh! LOL) Included with my gown was a beaded wrap. Just beautiful. It was quite warm that day, and it was perfect for on the water. I never had a problem speaking to anyone, either. They were prompt in contacting me back whenever I needed them to, either by phone or email. :) To see my husband's face when I came walking out on deck was THRILLING. He was just beaming and I was so proud..!! He asked me to wear white because he felt this was truly his first marriage, I loved my gown and still pull it out to look at it from the closet. :)

I was going to say (though I think you've strayed from the yellow dress anyway) that it is kinda 'sexy' for a wedding...and now even moreso if his DAD is marrying you two!!!! I went to a friend's second wedding last year and she wore a beautiful ivory dress. Not the big poofy kind, but a wonderful, elegant ivory bridal dress and she looked FABULOUS. I say if you want to wear white, go for it.

White is for happiness. The veil is for virginity (first wedding). But do what you want to, it's your wedding!

Ok, so FI picked out the other shorter white dress that I posted last night, it's cute but we both fell in love with this one.... very simple, elegant and I am thinking of having it altered to were it is higher in the front and keep it long in the back.... Oh & the theme is "Barefoot on the Beach" so there will be NO shoes  |
