Hi Everyone. My fiancé thinks it might not be appropriate if I were to wear a white wedding dress because we have 3 children. I have never been married before. Is it okay to wear white or should I choose another color?

I agree its your wedding wear what ever you want. It doesn't matter what others think this is about you and him that's all that matter find the dress you like and enjoy it no matter what color it is.. And also my son married for the 2nd time for both of them and she is wearing white and they have 4 kids between them. See it just doesn't matter its what you want don't let anyone take that from you..

Good lluckkk

Definitely wear white if you want. It is completely acceptable in today's society. However, an idea if you want to compromise... There are now lots of wedding dresses that are white or ivory with a splash of color. Some brides wear a sash that is the color of the bridesmaid dresses, for example.

In very old old society, perhaps you were not suppose to, but today people do what they want, there is no problem wearing white even on third marriages any longer.
But you and your boyfriend needs to work it out

You can get married in whatever color you want too. I am getting married in ice blue but if I wanted to get married in white I would and by the time I get married I would have two kids.

White was always considered a sign of purity. Now days people do what ever they feel right about. So I guess you can do what ever you want

I agree with the others. Wear what you like. If it really bothers your fiancée, or his family, don't make an issue of the color, and maybe go for ivory, or off white. A sash is a good idea as mentioned above, or you could wear a shoulder shawl/covering in a different color. You could also go with a dress with a tinge of pink, and then have your flowers all white.

Hello! I'm a wedding consultant by trade, and I'll tell you that old ideas are out. Anyone who wants to wear white can. If it's that big of an issue, Davids Bridal has a line of dresses with touches of color in them. They also have matching bridesmaids and flowergirl dresses and they are reasonably priced. Ultimatly, the choice and the day is yours. Do what is going to make you and your honey happy!

Just so you know. White does not mean virginity. White signifies that this is your first marriage. Now a veil signifies virginity.

I just went to my very pregnant friends wedding. This is her third child, and she is not almost 8 months pregnant. She wore white and a veil.

It's your wedding, do what you want.

I have seen people who've done worse than that and trust me honey... just where white if you want to. If you don't want to then the next best color is blue and "Marry in blue, you'll always be true" or "Marry in white and you've chosen right." But it's opinion and superstition.

I wore white on my wedding day and everyone(including me) thought I was pregnant. I just knew that this was my one and only wedding and I wasn't going to not have my dream wedding gown.. It's up to you and honestly of course everyone is going to mumur his/hers own opinion rehardless what color you wear. Wear what you want yo wear and be happy..
