Wearing white...?

Question

Okay, so my fiance have been together for over 5 years. We have a son (hes 8 months old, will be almost one at time of ceremony)...so the jig is up lol! Do you think it is wrong for me to wear all white?

I found a perfect dress in our price range, but it only comes in white. I was thinking of adding some embellishments, or maybe a sash in our wedding colors. Would that be better?

I will be buying it, but it would be difficult to have it dyed...no place around here does that and, also, white is a part of our color scheme. (white, black and red....i like how romantic all of the colors look together...and i want red roses!)

i LOVE sex and the city lol! that cracks me up when miranda says that....i figured i'd throw it in there.

& a lot of my family is religious, some more than others...but they are all supportive in what i want. i know it wont be an issue with my family, I was just kind of wondering what to expect from some of the guests. and like you all said, its my wedding and most people don't follow that tradition anymore. he is my first, and will be my last...so i don't think its that big of an issue.. thanks guys!

Answer 1

You know what, I think it is totally appropriate, you're marrying the man you love, and you have a son together, what could be more pure than that?

Answer 2

There is absolutely no reason you cannot wear white. The tradition that it is only for virginal brides or 1st time brids is no longer true. I am getting married this september, 2nd marriage and I have a 13 year old son who will be walking me down the aisle and I am wearing a white gown. My fiance has never been married and he wants a traditional wedding so that is what he is getting. This is your day and you should wear what you want to. It is unlikely that anyone would have anything negative to think or say as most of them will be thinking about how beautiful your dress is and how radiant you look in it. Congratulations.

Answer 3

Now a days the whole "pure" bride wearing white is soo funny. I'd say about 99.9% of brides wearing a white wedding dress now a days are not Virgins... most of them have prob slept with more than just the guy they are marrying.

So i'm sure you can get away with wearing a white dress. Granted if you're family is religious or something they may have a problem with it, but who cares.

It's one day you get to dress like a princess. Wear your perfect white dress and for the day pretend to be 'innocent' lol

Congrats on the wedding. And just remember, it's your day. Don't stress the little things!

Answer 4

I think you should wear white. If you would feel better adding a sash then go ahead, but I think, at least in the US, that times have changed and virginity is not assumed because of a white dress.

Answer 5

I don't think it wrong to wear white. Its your day so you should be able to wear what you want. If it makes you feel better add a color sash or wear a off white or cream color dress.

Answer 6

Nah, not anymore. Go get your dress and you dont need to add any embelishments.

BTW, do you know that white isnt really the color of virginity, blue is. White wasnt worn until one of the queens wore it for her wedding and it became the fashion, before that dresses were blue.

Answer 7

I absolutely don't think there is anything wrong with wearing white. I have seen women 8 months pregant going down the aisle in white!! So don't sweat it, its your day and you just wear whatever color you want!! Congrats by the way!!!!

Answer 8

By all means, wear white!!!!!!!!!!!
These days, white does not signify "Purity"
I was a bridal consultant and did several weddings, secong and third weddings for the bride and groom.
this your wedding day!!!!!!!!! YOU choose what you want to wear.
I mean no offense, but if people are going to make remarks that you shouldn't have worn white, they have too much time on their hands if all they can do is gossip about your gown.

Answer 9

If you're not really religious and all about following each step in traditions, I say go for it. No body follows the rules now a days. Its your wedding, do what you want, good luck and congrats!! =)

Answer 10

I'm going to assume you want an honest answer.

I slightly cringe when I see pregnant/mommy/2nd+ time brides wearing bright white or veils. I am very into the "symbolism" behind weddings so the non virgin walking down in snow white seems like a farce to me.

Alas, it is your wedding and do what you wish. I'd go with champagne, creme or ivory with either hair flowers, crystal pins or a small tiara.

Answer 11

Will you be renting the dress or actually purchasing it? If you are purchasing, i suggest dying it an ivory, or off-white color. However, im sure nowadays, wearing white will not offend anybody. and HEY! its YOUR wedding, do whatever the heck you want!! and congrats!
