I was married previously when I was 21 and now divorced for almost 5 years. I am now going to be getting remarried and I am wondering if it is wrong to wear a white wedding dress for a second marriage.

It's not wrong at all!!!
Even if white still stood for absolute purity, you could look at it sybolically. You are entering a brand new marriage, with the love of your life, which is good enough reason to celebrate a new beginning of purity for the two of you.
CONGRATS and BEST WISHES!!!

It is pretty taboo to wear a pure white dress for your second marriage or if you are not a virgin before marriage. If you want the pure clean look of white why not go for an off white or cream colored dress instead? I was by no means a virgin when I married my husband, we had been together for 3 1/2 years..*lol* and I wore off white. BUT is IS YOUR wedding, so if you don't care about what other people think go with what you want. It's older people that still believe in that tradition ore so that newer generations. Do what YOU feel.
Congratulations and the best of luck to you and your fiance!

Some women get away with it as long as the dress/suit is appropriate. Usually it's to an evening wedding and maybe only in the fall/winter. I would not recommend wearing black (and I mean all black) to a spring or summer wedding, or an afternoon wedding regardless of the season.

Heck no! Those days are gone! Wear what you want. I read that 90-95% of people have had premarital sex, so I don't think that anyone today thinks that you have to be virginal to walk down the aisle in a white dress.
It's YOUR day, wear whatever you want and have fun!!! :)
(By the way, if you DO consider another color, my sis-in-law wore Champagne and looked STUNNING!!! I think it was classier than ivory - but it was also an evening wedding. Good luck!)

You have the right to wear whatever you want and since it is your second time you will know how to choose the best wedding dress. Be happy and don't let minor details confuse you.

It's your opinion that counts. I was 8 months pregnant when I married in a Catholic Church (yep) the Priest told me I could wear whatever color I chose including white b/c it doesn't represent what it used to. (purity & all that stuff) I had a beautiful blue dress made with ivory lace trim.
Don't worry what other people think, they will talk about it either way you go.

No it's not. It's your wedding. You can wear purple if you want to.
P.S.- The white dress has nothing to do with virginity. It never has.

I would wear an off white. Although i was at a funeral the other day and this woman was wearing RED and no one batted an eye so wear pink if you want... it really doesnt matter anymore.
