Etiquette: When it’s the bride’s second marriage


I find the train and veil etiquette a little interesting (I say if you want a train and veil do it, it’s your day!), but if you really want to stick to etiquette here are the “rules”:

If you've been married before or have children it's perfectly acceptable to wear white.

If you've been married before or have children you're not supposed to wear a veil or have a train attached to your dress or carry orange blossoms.

The second time around, your parents are not obligated to pay for anything.


If you get along with your ex-husband and his family and it's fine with your fiancé, then it's acceptable to invite them to the wedding.
