Can anyone tell me when a married couple redo their vows , should the bride wear a wht gown?

Question

My husband and I have been married for 33 years and we have decided to redo our wedding vows in September of this year. I have never been to a ceremony of this type.I wondered if anyone else has been and if the bride wore a white wedding gown and also what was the service like? I would greatly appreciate any input. Thanx

Answer 1

My parents are getting re-married this nov. after 20 years of marriage. I think my mom is going to wear a white dress, or maybe off white or ivory. But i'm sure its going to be traditional. I don't think it matters much the color. More importantly the guest should be sure not to wear your special color.

Answer 2

I am wearing shorts, flip flops and a bright Hawaiian shirt, while my wife will wear a floral print sun dress. It's to be on the beach near my daughter's. Bon fire, the whole bit.

I think it entirely up to you. Actually,we may skip the vows, since the old ones aren't worn out and have the party instead. 40th anniversary and all.

Good luck on yours.

Answer 3

You can wear whatever you like. I personally don't like the white gown. Me and my fiance have finally decided to tie the knot in September too. My dress is yellow. Although, I was thinking of doing white the second time around, for the renewal.

Answer 4

generally it happens after 25 years of completion of marriage, dress is the same as 25 yrs back

Answer 5

is the bride still a virgin? lol

i think it is personal choice, it is your day after all, and it should be the way you want it, why else do it otherwise? maybe call some wedding gown shops in your area and ask the opinions of the friendly staff there

hope this helps

My in-laws redo their vows last week.They had a huge party.Very romantic,almost like a wedding ceremony only she didnt wore a wedding dress.She wore a cream color dress with flowery details(like you would dress at a dinner/cocktail party) and my father-in-law wore a semi-formal suit.Very simple.

Answer 7

My grandma wore an off-white beaded gown when they redid their vows as they celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary (when I was little). It was at the church so it was pretty much the same ceremony.

Answer 8

Most vow renewal ceremonies that I have been to are very custom to the couple. This is more about you celebrating the time you have been together as opposed to beginning your life together - as it was when you first got married. I don't think you should go by the status quo.  You should wear colors that are about celebration and colors that compliment who you are.  Consider having a theme that represents your relationship.  For example, If you and your wife love Sushi, you should serve Sushi, and have an Asian theme and have your wife wear a red dress and you wear a suit and red tie. Hope this helps!

Answer 9

I've been to two.  One wore her original gown and one wore a very pretty floral dress.

There are no rules to a wedding.  It's up to the bride and groom what is or isn't acceptable.

Can anyone tell me when a married couple redo their vows , should the bride wear a wht gown

Answer 11

One that I went to, the bride wore an off white three quarter suit (with skirt).  She didn't wear anything on her head.  I am a big fan of hats, though, and I think a fabulous hat would be really cool, instead of a veil (I mean, you aren't being looked at for the first time...)  Look at Charles and Camilla's wedding (goofy reference, I know) but the style is right.  It's up to you though.  I just couldn't really imagine the stress of fitting into a poufy dress again.

Answer 12

No, wear whatever color you like.

A nice matching top, or jacket with the

skirt or pants will look nice.
