Of course you can! I also have been married before and am divorced. I also have a 5 yr old son and im getting married again in June. There is no one in this world that can tell me i cannot wear a white dress! There are NO RULES when it comes to someones wedding. Its whatever the BRIDE wants and if thats what you want then thats what it'll be! It doesnt look ridiculous and its not embarrasing or anything like that. its nobodys business if you want to wear a white dress. So what if youre divorced and so what if your not a virgin! Like someone already said...wearing white has NOTHING to do with virginity. Your not violating anything or anyone so...Congratulations!!
BTW: If you still feel like you need to not wear white, you can always add a touch of color either with your accessories or depending on what your dress looks like you can add some sort of detail to match your bridesmaid.

Of course it is!!!!! It's all up to you nobody really goes with the whole traditional stuff anymore anyway... I wore white at my wedding and this was my second wedding attempt, I never actually went through with the first but I was only a week away everything was ordered and booked.... Nobody said anything about me wearing white.... It's your wedding in the end and if you let others opinions change what you want it won't really be your day will it? It's all about you so do whatever YOU want and congratulations!!!!!!!

I know how you feel. I am getting married a second time around also. I am wearing a white dress no matter what the rest of them have to say, which I am sure they won't. Today is a new day and nothing means what it used to. We are allowed to choose what to wear just as we are allowed to coose who we marry!! Hope this helps some and a big congrats and I hope you have a beautiful wedding and a great life together!!!

People just assume that white stands for purity or virginity in a wedding...people couldn't always afford to buy a dress they only wore for one day and wore the best one they had no matter the color. I'm getting married in a month and a half and plan to wear white even though my fiance and I have lived together for two years already. Follow your heart!

I had been married before and still wore a white wedding gown. I never heard that anyone ever had a comment as to it's inappropriateness. In fact, I think everyone told me I was beautiful that day.
Wear it, wear it proud! Congrats & good luck!

The tradition of brides wearing white isn't that old- and has NOTHING to do with virginity or lack thereof. Queen Victoria wore white at her wedding, and it became a fashion and, eventually a tradition. Before that Women wore any color. Wear what will make you and your fiance happy- that's what the day is all about, after all!

it's "your" wedding so do what you want, do what makes you happy, and don't let anyone ruin your day. Since you're going traditional why not include the "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" and if anyone has a comment to make you can always say you're not totally dressed in white (since you'll have something "blue" on). Remember that the guy is supposed to pay for the gown.

Yes, a white wedding is a tradition created by the rich people of the victorian era trying to show off how much money they had. It has nothing to do with virginity.

Yes, you can, there is no longer that stupid old fashioned view that you have to be virginal to wear white, that was just a custom set by Queen Victoria, before that brides just wore their best dress regardless of colour. Wear your white dress with pride.

I say wear the dress you have your heart set on it. Just because someone else doesn't think it is right, doesn't mean they are right.
Enjoy your wedding day and wear that dress girl!
