What color does a bride wear after being divorced?

It's interesting:
"Just as the happy couple wanted, this is a lovely, small, intimate gathering of close friends and family – so could someone please tell me why I'm here."

Choosing a wedding dress for a divorcee bride used to be a tricky proposition- however a modern bride who has been previously wed has the freedom to choose a gown in whatever color she likes. While there are some traditional colors for second wedding gowns that still enjoy popularity, the right choice for a divorced bride's wedding gown is whatever makes her feel beautiful and happy.

Does this Spark an idea?

1. Light Pink

   • A light pink wedding dress is a feminine and romantic choice for a bride celebrating her second marriage. Actress Reese Witherspoon, famous for her acting skills and impeccable manners, chose a light pink Monique Lhuillier dress in tulle and Chantilly lace for her 2011 wedding to manager Jim Toth. Witherspoon had been married once before to actor Ryan Philippe. While pink enhances the vision of a blushing bride, it also politely indicates that this is not the bride's first marriage.

   Light Blue

   • Shades of light blue were especially popular among divorced brides of the early to mid-twentieth century. Perhaps one of the world's most famous divorcees, Wallis Warfield Simpson chose to wear a light blue, silk crepe gown by the designer Mainbocher to her infamous 1937 wedding to the Duke of Windsor. While the Duchess of Windsor led an unconventional life and had two husbands before the duke, even she bowed to the conventions of the time and wore a shade close to periwinkle, which was famously known as "-Wallis blue."- While etiquette is far less stringent for modern brides celebrating their second weddings, a light shade of blue is still a traditional second wedding gown choice.

   Ivory

   • A divorced bride of mature years might prefer an ivory dress if her heart is set on a white gown. The choice of ivory has less to do with any symbolic implications and is more a matter of flattery. Bright, snow white gowns reflect a great deal of light, which highlights wrinkles on the face, neck and chest. A blinding white gown also highlights any cellulite, which is likely to increase with age. Ivory tones down the glare of bright white for a hue that is more flattering to many mature brides.

   White

   • There is no rule that states a divorced bride cannot wear white or any color of her choosing. Even Peggy Post, the grand doyenne of American etiquette, supports the choice of a bride who is remarrying to wear white to her ceremony. However, many etiquette experts are less concerned with the color of the dress and more with the cut and its accessories. Many etiquette and bridal experts state that long trains and elaborate veils are only the domain of first-time brides, especially since the bridal veil is still thought to maintain strong connotations of virginity. However, Post does approve of second-time brides wearing wedding veils, especially if the bride's religious affiliation dictates that she covers her head.
