Congrats and of course you can! White means joy these days. The whole white is for virgins only has long passed...the majority of brides getting married in white are not virgins..so don't let that faze you. These days, there are no rules and it is after all your day. It's just so romantic and sweet you're renewing your vows. :)

It's not appropriate to have a re-run wedding-- it's just not good manners. You get one wedding per marriage.
Renew your vows privately and then throw a nice 25th anniversary dinner-dance you can invite everyone to. But a wedding ceremony with the dress and all that is just not appropriate, and would make it look like you don't take your original ceremony & vows seriously-- you're using a re-run ceremony as entertainment.

I think so but why would you go to all that expense for something you'll never wear again? I've had my dress boxed up in the attic for 19 years. My daughter already has said she doesn't want to wear it. I won't be wearing it for our vow renewals......
I guess it's up to you because I sure felt special the day I wore it!

Personally, I think that there would be no problem in it. If anyone would say anything about you not being able to wear white because you obviously are not "pure", just tell them that you're pure in heart.
I think you should go for your dream dress, it's about you and your husband and your love for each other. Not what other people think you should be doing. Go and wear the white dress. Tell anyone who would oppose you, where to put it.

speaking as an historian: it relatively is a falsehood that white traditionally implies virginity. White became the marriage colour only after Queen Victoria wore it to marry Prince Albert in the 1830s. It became into seen a wreck with custom. traditionally, women persons wore the main customary colour of the day or which ever colour regarded best on them. the marriage gown has continuously been a woman's 'best' gown and one she would positioned on returned. for this reason, white became into no longer many times chosen as a results of fact it confirmed too lots airborne dirt and dirt to enable it to be worn returned and returned. in case you examine the ladies persons's magazines of the nineteenth century, even after Victoria, maximum brides have been being married in burgundies, dark eco-friendly, dark blues or maybe black (esp trouble-free in specific ethnicities, jointly with German). Even for royalty, brocades and different components conveying wealth with the aid of gold threads and dark, wealthy colorations have been favourite. White recognized as a marriage colour in the Nineties and during the Nineteen Nineteen Twenties. With the melancholy and WWII, notwithstanding, financial and conflict-time privations, observed a return to extra straightforward and simpler gown and maximum women persons wore their wedding ceremony suits and garments time and time returned. in the Fifties, the 'classic' white wedding ceremony gown recognized (and became into unquestionably an as much as date replica of the Nineties sort robes). in addition to, white as a colour traditionally became into linked with fertility, no longer virginity when you consider that there is not any way of understanding if virgin would be fertile. it is barely in the final 60 years or so as that the assumption of white=virginity has taken carry.

Yes, that is normally fine to wear white. I think its more of the kind of dress. You should just wear either a skirt and jacket or like ankle length dress.
