If he's been married, can she still wear white? If she's been married, does his tie have to be ivory or something other than white?If either the bride or groom have been married before, is white for the wedding a no no?
She can wear white. It's just a color. Most of the first time brides who wear white are not virgins either.If either the bride or groom have been married before, is white for the wedding a no no?
This all depends on how ';traditional'; you want to be with your wedding!
Me, I was a ';pure white'; bride (in every sense of the idea) and yet I had wine-red trim on my wedding dress, because I thought it was absolutely gorgeous.
Then again, we also played video game music for our wedding ceremony. At least it was classical-sounding, but still... Hm. :)
Don't worry too much with sticking to tradition - not many people do, any more. A lot of this is going to depend on how traditional the bride wants to be - trust me on this one. ;) And besides, a wedding is supposed to be a memorable celebration of the joining of two hearts and two lives - not a checklist of things that ';have'; to be done!
It's 2009 not 1949, wear whatever colour you like.
I don't think so.. It depends on the people getting married and their families if they are very traditional and don't want to upset anyone. Like the first answerer said, wear whatever you like :).
I really don't think there's any problem with the bride wearing white even if it is her husband's second wedding. If it's the bride's second wedding, then I would probably not go with white, but there's no rule on this.
White as a wedding color came about when Queen Victoria got married. She wore a white dress that became a symbol of wealth and extravagance because it's so hard to clean that in those days you basically had to throw it away after one wearing. Before that, brides usually just bought a nice dress (that they could wear again) or wore their best dress. Now it's become common that the bride doesn't wear her dress ever again!
More recently, people have adopted the idea that the white represents virginity, which is why you often hear jokes about a bride who ';shouldn't be wearing white.'; Some people therefore say that brides who are marrying for the second time shouldn't wear white. Again, this doesn't really make sense when you remember that white traditionally represented wealth, not virginity.
I've never heard of the OTHER person having restrictions put upon them, though. For example, if the groom has been married before but the bride had never been married, I've never heard that the BRIDE couldn't wear white just because the groom had been married. That seems ridiculous! And the groom doesn't always have a white tie. In fact, white ties are reserved for only the MOST formal of weddings. Most grooms wear ties in the wedding colors. So I've never heard of the groom's attire at all being affected by his marital status or his bride's marital status.
omg no! What are you supposed to announce to the world that you aren't ';pure'; anymore or something??? The white dress initially was a sign of wealth anyway because it wasn't practical for the middle class to have a white dress that could not easily be kept cleaned. It was a luxury for upper class brides. Look it up.
No color is a no-no anymore.
How many times the groom has been married has absolutely NOTHING to do with what color the bride wears....if it's her first marriage and she wants the traditional white bridal dress, she wears it.
Tie color? Aw, COME ON...now you are getting rediculously silly.......at this rate why not slap a sign on your backs stating your status (divorced, single, married x times, etc).......
Jeeze.
No one cares about the color of wedding attire anymore. The only reason white came into play was because of Queen Victoria. Unless the bride or groom is Queen Victoria, it doesn't matter what color they wear.
