It's your wedding - 20 years ago those things mattered more. Now you can wear whatever you want.

All that old nonsense about only virgins being able to wear white and a veil went out with the ark! This is the year 2006, wear what YOU like and what will make you happy, no one is going to frown upon you for choosing white. If your mother has such old fashioned ideas you could say to her that you are marrying the father of your child, and that is reason enough to wear white. Hope the wedding goes well and you find the dress of your dreams.

I don't see why not. The original concept of white wedding dresses was born out of the fact that to wear a white dress is an extravagent thing since white gets dirty easily and you can only wear it once. The origins of a white wedding dress have little to nothing to do with virginity.
My advice is find the best color that works with your skin best and do what you feel is right.

If you can't decide and none of these people can help you then just go shopping for a wedding dress without having the color in mind. Buy what you believe is the prettist and fitts best on you. Also I think that your family/friends cares more about you being happy rather than the color of your dress.

Sure you can wear a white dress. While in the past it was necessary to be a virgin to wear a white dress, that's not the case anymore. (You'd have a heck of alot of people wearing different colored dresses nowadays if that was true). My best friend's mother just got married for the second time and she wore a white dress. Wear what you like.

When I got married the second time I wear off white dress. But that's what I wanted to do. If you want to wear white then do so, remember it is your wedding. And you have to remember most of these women that are getting married and walking down the isle with white dresses, aren't virgins! So have fun, this is your day.

Of course you can still wear white - I mean this is the 21st century. Just remember this is your wedding day, so celebrate it how YOU want to!!!!!!!!!! Don't forget to include your fiancee in the mix as long as he is willing. I know i have been to many weddings where the bride to be had children and or previous marriages that still wore white. I'm getting married this Saturday and I was married before and I'm still wearing a white wedding dress.

Oh..the colour of the gown would desire to be the final of any ones undertaking at a marriage. I easily have a bigger difficulty with people who wreck each vow they recited interior a pair of years of having hitched. this would be a bigger undertaking. the marriage is only an hour out of an extremely long existence mutually. Its no huge deal. Its the sentiment in the back of the custom this is substantial. fortunately married for 13 years (mutually 18) and why is it somewhat any of your undertaking who's and is no longer a virgin?? unquestionably it somewhat is basically a count for the folk in touch and The Maker. i think of you sound too questioning appropriate to the trivial, once you ought to be putting your stable suggestions to apply easily assisting human beings, somewhat of dropping it being judgemental. this I see as extra of a sin. and for the checklist, some others are ideal. White has basically been a 'vogue' in wedding ceremony outfits for the previous one hundred fifty years or so. A white wedding ceremony gown replaced into considered extra as a fact of wealth and prosperity, maximum females married of their 'sunday best' (probable gray, as an emblem of humbleness) and white, esp lace, confirmed the family individuals had money, whcih replaced into beautiful to the potential grooms family individuals. Blue has consistently been an emblem of purity interior the Christian church. this is why mom Mary is often depicted donning blue robes and females placed on a blue token (ribbon or broach or garter) on their wedding ceremony day. human beings from time to time dont like the fact while is conflicts with their ideals that they carry costly.

You can wear white, but there will be "old school" people that frown on it. I chose a white gown with some silver details....so that it wasn't solid white. I was pregnant at the time. There are shades that are just a hint darker than white too...not quite off white though. Truth is, it's your wedding. It just depends on how you will feel if your aunt, grandma etc. make a comment. It's perfectly acceptable these days, and I see it all of the time. Wear what makes you feel the prettiest on your day.
Good luck and congratulations!

Wear a white dress, I did and I had a son at the time. Today is so much more modern then the traditional days of getting married. My sister in law wore a white dress two and she had an adult daughter. My Aunt married in her 40's and wore white. Sweetie, if you want to wear white you should!!! Look at Jennifer Aniston, she wore white..... everyone wears white on their wedding day and so should you! Today doesn't live by the traditions of yesteryear's. Good luck.

Go white if you want to. There are colors that are Cream colored that look White but aren't White. We live in a world that has lost some traditions and created new ones. There are more births out of wedlock than ever before, so something must give.
