When I married the first time, I found a white prom dress with a diaginol hem (knee length on one side and ankle length on the other). When I married the second time, I was eight months pregnant and opted for a nice maternity dress (it was a civil ceremony).
There are no particular rules on what you HAVE to wear when you get married . . . my mom wore jeans and a t-shirt for a religious ceremony! You should just pick something that you like and ignore anyone's comments (white for a second wedding is now acceptable).
You can check out Dreams by Renee for ideas. They have some absolutely gorgeous dresses PLUS they will create a custom dress based on drawings/photographs at extremely reasonable prices. All of the prices listed on the website are suggested retail and since I am an authorized rep, I am able to offer a discount as well, if you're interested. http://www.dreamsbyreneebridal.com
Good luck!

Full length gowns are for evenings. Other lengths are for day.
Sons of the bride can be her Escorts (not "giving her away" but escorting her up the aisle) or Bridesmen, if they are teenagers, or Men of Honor instead of Maids of Honor.
Second time brides usually do not wear a gown with a train, nor do they wear a veil. Both are symbols of women who have not been married before. However, people break that guideline pretty often these days.
Wearing white is fine but wearing another color would be fine, too.

I to am getting remarried. I found my dress at JCPENNYS. It was only 60.00 If its just going to be a simple informal wedding (like mine) you could just look for a white simple dress. Mine is not a wedding dress and I can wear it again. I have 3 boys and we included them in just about everything. They are wearing white dress slacks, an orange undershirt, and a navy blue button down short sleeve shirt. They match the groom and best man. They helped me making my flowers and my best friends flowers. We are planning to do the sand ceremony and they are included in that. Just really make the kids as much apart of the wedding as you can.

Why not look at prom dresses? Enough gown for the event, but available in all the colors of the rainbow. She should wear what makes her happy. And her sons can be ushers, or they can stand up with the groom. They are about to become family afterall.

I would say a cream or ivory, very close to white, but not white, all brides want to be pure on their wedding day. I would also suggest a two-piece (Skirt and top) depends on the persons style and what she wore to her last wedding. For the boys, If old enuff make them bestmen, if they are younger: Ushers. If they are little boys make them dual ringbearers...
Good luck with the wedding, I'm getting married in 3 weeks.

She could wear any length dress that she would like. A good color for a 2nd time bride is Ivory b/c it is not white but it is not too far from it. The sons can be anything that she would like i have seen them be groomsman,ringbarers,ushers and them walk her down the isle. It is what ever her and her groom wants.

traditionally people say that a second time bride is not supposed to wear white.......well this is her day, and she should be happy. she can wear what she wants. if she wants the formality of a white gown that's her choice. or she can opt for an informal or offwhite gown. it's completely up to her. and as for her sons, depending on the age, they can be in any part of the ceremony and wear just about anything.

A silvery capuccino colour is nice and subtle.
If she is older and it's a second marriage, I think it looks a bit tacky to do the whole traditional wedding thing. I would stick to a simple dress and wouldn't get too carried away with attendants (other than the sons of course as it's nice for them to be involved).

first of all...Congratulations on your upcoming wedding ceremony! :) I have been given married, around 2, approximately 3 years in the past and hubby and that i did an quite intimate rite on the deck of a cafe on Cape Cod. It replaced into low season (Oct) so it replaced into very quiet and we actually made dinner reservations for 13 human beings and it replaced into this sort of super time! My husband basically wore a fit and that i unquestionably got here upon a eye-catching pants outfit at Kohl's! elegant, hassle-free beading, open back,and it basically so befell that they had it in ivory (that's what i wanted) yet going that path meant no nylons, no humorous uncomfortable bra, I wore open-toed elegant slip on sandals that i got here upon at DSW. It replaced into somewhat ordinary to be in all evening. I have not have been given any concept in the event that they nonetheless supply the type yet you may evaluate going to a close-by shop, even a branch shop fairly of a place that makes a speciality of wedding ceremony dresses. I regarded at many places online and had a problematic time finding something that wasn't "wedding ceremony dress difficult." paying for at a generic shop shrink out all variations and arranged time. :) It replaced into very flattering too, a very good shrink yet no longer geared up and that i did no longer sense poured into it. :) solid success with you plans and maximum suitable needs!

I would go with a floor length gown. and for the color I would go with either off white or maybe even a light yellow color.if you go with the light yellow I'd do a bridesmaids dress that you like the style of. good luck
