Traditionally it should be a small intimate ceremony. A large ceremony or a white ballgown just leads to negative comments. Recently I saw a letter in Miss Manners about a woman who was upset b/c many of her family was unable to make it to her 5th wedding b/c other things were happening that week (graduations, vacations, birthday parties) that they felt were more "once in a lifetime". Miss Manners told her that she should not be upset as these relatives came to the last couple weddings and would likely make the next one. So make this ceremony about you and him, not about friends and co-workers and distant relatives.
Consider doing something elegant and more simplistic. Maybe a blue or a peach formal gown. Gold and dark ivory are popular as well. Both of these are beautiful and very acceptable.

I like the idea of something more Greek inspired. Or just something nice that you can wear again. No need to buy something titled "wedding gown" just so that it costs more. Just something you feel comfortable in. It should be something reflecting that you are not a debutante but a mature woman and shared b/t those who really matter to the 2 of you. It's a very special day but no need to spend a fortune and waste a lot of money.
But a lil advice, check these two books out. Excellent books and very well-written.

Legally the same requirements as a first marriage. I don't honestly think you should listen to narrow minded people who say "Oh it should be a small event, don't make any fuss!!" That's rubbish, a wedding is a joyous occasion and can and should be celebrated with as mush joy and happiness as you wish. If you want to wear white then wear white, if you want a big reception party then have one, there is no shame in being married more than once, I would say the only thing that is limiting is the budget, spend what you can afford and make a beautiful day of it, people that try to make it a negative thing should have no place.

I'm assuming you mean a 3rd marriage and not the fact that you are having 3 ceremonies to accomodate family?
Pretty much the same as a 2nd marriage. It can be as elaborate or as intimate as you wish.

whatever you want,
it can be a very small affair if this is what you want or as big as you want, personally if its number three then i would go for low key, no point in wasting anyones time and money if your a serial bride lol

my mom had a big wedding for her 3rd time. no wedding dress, just a nice cream colored suit, but we all had bridesmaid dresses, etc. it was more my step-father's udea, but it was a great wedding. do what you want, it's your day.
