GO FOR IT! Wear whatever you want. I'm 50 too, and so are lots of sexy women - I don't know what's with all this "age appropriate" crap - I'm sure Madonna or Sharon Stone would tell them where to stick that! Much happiness!

You know, it is your wedding so you should do what you feel comfortable doing. The fact that you are asking is that you are unsure. But, quite frankly, if I were you, I would purchase a very simple wedding gown: It can have a train, but the basic style of gown should be simple. dessy.com., gownfind.com, dillards.com, nordstroms.com. Not frilly with alot of sequins and diamonds and lace. Then a short wedding veil about shoulder length. and a gorgeous bouquet that is not too large. It will look classy and it won't look overdone. This is your third marriage and the fact you are 50 which is not old these days, your taste should reflect classiness and simplicity. Take a look on the websites I recommend, and you will see that you can find a gown that will be gorgeous but fine and simple in design. Go also on Verawang.com. Her gowns are very expensive, but you can get an idea of the simple design I am recommending. Good Luck to you in your marriage with your dream guy.

It is your special day no matter how many times you have walked down that aisle. I am very sorry to hear about your loss of your first husband, and I am sure you are a very strong and courgaeous woman to fall in love again after a the falling out of a 24 year marriage. Shine, hunny, shine!! Wear that white gown, throw that vail over your face and enjoy the rest of your life with what I am sure is a truly wonderful man!

conversing as an historian: that's a falsehood that white traditionally implies virginity. White grew to become the marriage coloration basically after Queen Victoria wore it to marry Prince Albert interior the 1830s. It grow to be seen a harm with custom. traditionally, females wore the main huge-unfold coloration of the day or which ever coloration appeared in basic terms right on them. the marriage gown has continuously been a woman's 'in basic terms right' gown and one she might positioned on returned. for this reason, white grow to be not often chosen simply by fact it confirmed too lots dirt to enable it to be worn many times. in case you examine the girls's magazines of the nineteenth century, even after Victoria, maximum brides have been being married in burgundies, darkish green, darkish blues or perhaps black (esp straightforward specifically ethnicities, which includes German). Even for royalty, brocades and different supplies conveying wealth through gold threads and darkish, prosperous colorations have been favourite. White appeared as a marriage coloration interior the Eighteen Nineties and interior the path of the Nineteen Nineteen Twenties. With the melancholy and WWII, whether, financial and conflict-time privations, observed a return to less complicated and simpler gown and maximum females wore their wedding ceremony fits and outfits time and time returned. interior the Fifties, the 'classic' white wedding ceremony gown appeared (and grow to be surely an as much as the instant replica of the Eighteen Nineties type robes). besides, white as a coloration traditionally grow to be linked with fertility, not virginity on condition that there is not any way of understanding if virgin would be fertile. that's in basic terms interior the final 60 years or so as that the assumption of white=virginity has taken carry.

I personally don't think it's the colour so much as the style of dress that matters. I think a third wedding dress should be more subdued, like a sundress or skirt suit. This is just my opinion and if you'd really like to wear a veil and train, do whatever you like!

I don't think it matters anymore, some people may have a different opinion but it is your day your money, do what you want, an option for you is off white, eggs shell, cream instead of bright white. But it all comes to this the wedding doesn't really matter if he is the one than do what your heart tells you to do. God Bless and Congratulations.

Yes . . . it is fine to wear the white wedding gown and veil. You are perfectly welcome to do so.
However . . . many mature women find white not so flattering IRL. When you go to try stuff on, you may find ivory, or champagne, or blush pink to be more flattering.
So keep an open mind when trying on the wedding dresses. You may find something with a bit of color more flattering. Worry less about color, and more about what actually looks good for your skin tone and body type.
Good luck to you.

Wearing white has nothing to do with virginity, so yes, do wear a white dress if that is what you want to do. I see no reason for you not to have the dress of your dreams, don't listen to the people stuck in the past who may say it is not appropriate, you aren't inviting them to your wedding anyway!!

Go for it. It is your special day, and it is what will make you and your future husband happy on the day that is the most important. Despite this being 3rd time around, it does not appear to me that you are just getting married because you like wedding cake. I wish you all the best on the day, and eternal happiness.

If you are paying for it, knock yourself out.
A girl I work with, her mom in her 60's got married in a big foofy white wedding. I saw the pictures, the old bride in her huge dress with a big white veil and her 3 daughters in their 40's, in maroon satin bridesmaids dresses, all with s--t-eating grins on their faces. After I told her how wonderful it all was, I had a good laugh with some other people who saw the pictures.
