Wedding dress ideas for a second marriage
Ready to make that second trip down the aisle but unsure of what dress to choose for the most important day of your life, again?
No worries the answer is quite simple. Anything other than the traditional white, cream or ivory. I hate those colors anyway, and who really looks good in yards of white tulle accented with beads, crystal, macrame, doilies or lace? Do it different. Do something you know your mother would hate.
Be bold , wear red or black. Get crazy buy a Betsey Johnson. You have been given a second chance to start over why waste it on the same boring basic? Do you want to look Michelin or Me So Chic? You don’t have to follow the rules. Think about it as getting away with something and not having detention or a jail sentence. I’m not suggesting a dress made of illegal narcotics or exercising your rights to bare arms clad in pearl handled pistols. I am suggesting to take a risk. For my wedding day I opted for an ivory number with etched lace in gold. After threatening my mom with visions of red tassels and black taffeta, I compromised and made her blood pressure go down.
Wear a leopard print and sexy heels. Wear a tuxedo. Wear something you saw on Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. Get a beehive, don a mohawk, let your sexiest and wildest dreams come to life in the shape of your wedding dress. There are many beautiful dresses that are non wedding for you to choose from. There’s cocktail dresses, and prom dresses. Chinese dresses and Flamenco dresses. My sister in law’s mom actually did a Flamenco theme for her 3rd wedding , her 2nd wedding was a Chinese theme. Her 1st ? White dress. St. Grace’s Church. Boring.
Point is take it there. Let this really be the event of your dreams. And it will be. Your bridesmaids won’t really care because you probably learned the first time around that life is so much easier without an army of estrogen at your side on your big day. Your groom won’t care because he just wants to marry you and will show up wearing whatever you tell him to wear. Your mom won’t get on your nerves because it really will be your wedding this time, since your first was actually really hers. No annoying flower girl with braces and impossible to curl hair. No ADD ring bearer. No embarrassing groomsmen wearing shades 4 sheets to the wind in all of your wedding pictures.
You have been given another chance at love and wearing a slimming color without having to wear a corset whose thickness rivals the Great Wall of China. Be exquisite, be daring, be adventurous. Make everyone jealous and wish they could of worn red tassels or leopard.
