Dont want to marry in white!

Options
hi all,

a nice subject for once from me lol

im getting married next year to my lovely man and it will be second time round for both of us. Its not a traditional church do but I would still like to wear a nice wedding dress as I didn't do it first time round.

im not an extravagant type of person so the traditional meringue style dress is out and I think ive found a few I like

but............

I don't want to marry in white, im liking red.......

thoughts???

    Wear red if you want - im getting married for the third time, and wearing ivory.
  • If you like it, do it! It's your choice. I got married in purple!

    There is no law that says you have to wear white. If you don't want to, then don't. You could wear a dressing gown and a pair of flippers, nobody would have a say about it. Wear what you like!

    Wear what you want, it doesn't even have to be a dress, there are no rules!

    I wore red (and it was my first wedding :rotfl:, Mum was scandalised but won around by the pretty dress) I think a lot of the superstitions around getting married are complete nonsense - wear what you want to and celebrate in the way that makes you happy as a couple. Congratulations :grouphug:

    Oooh i love red, how about red and white, have a bit of both in there? Red is the traditional colour in asian weddings :D nothing wrong with being a bit unconventional ;-)

    Nooooo.... The beauty of that board is there's so many people doing different things. Marrying abroad, doing it on a budget, big and small, traditional or quirky. It's under special occasions
