Second Wedding Ideas for the Encore Bride

MakeLoveReal.net

Planning a wedding can be a joyous occasion. And if this is a second wedding for you or your groom, you get to enjoy the fun of planning all over again, making sure it is exactly what you want and not what your family thought you should have. Here we share just a few ideas to keep in mind if you are planning an encore wedding.

• If you want to wear a traditional white wedding dress, do it. The old thoughts of encore brides wearing white no longer apply. Most encore or second time brides look for a dress that they feel is more practical for them but the choice is strictly yours. Wear what makes you feel beautiful and what fits your vision for your special day.

• Personalization is always a great option but when you can incorporate touches that highlight the blended family or your triumphs over the years, it creates a more memorable experience for both you and your guest. Check out this oh so cute, customized cake topper. This is a piece that you can keep and cherish as a memorable reminder of your day.

• When choosing to register for gifts, you may want to survey what you already have and update or add-to. Another option is choosing to register for your honeymoon and have your guest purchase tours, dinners or contribute to the cost of the honeymoon.

• If you have children, involve them from the beginning. Let them discuss their thoughts or feelings about this new transition in their lives before all of the appointments, shopping and festivities interfere with your time. Ask for their opinion from time to time- maybe on the dessert or some part of the entertainment selections.

• You may want to consider a destination wedding. They are a popular option for 2nd weddings and they don’t have to be someplace exotic. I am very partial to New Orleans, by the way. It's a great way of combining your wedding, and your honeymoon all in one. Your guests may also welcome the opportunity to use this time as an extended or family vacation.

• Hire a wedding planner or coordinator that is in touch with you and has a feel for what you want. A planner or coordinator that knows how to get the job done within your guidelines and expectations is key to your successful and memorable wedding event.

Now that's trendy. Happy planning.

Wedding Dress Selections for the Second-Time Bride

When I think of a second time or encore bride, a few words that come to mind to describe this bride would be sophisticated, wise, passionate, no-fluff. When I was a second-time bride, I dreaded the thought of going shopping for the dress. And for a shop happy person such as myself, that was a little hard to handle. I didn't want the classic of lace and ruffles, and to be honest, I didn't know what I wanted. The only thing I was sure of was that I did not want to look like a first-time bride or what I thought the first time bride looked like. i just wanted to feel beautiful in the dress that I chose. I was lucky because the first dress I tried on was a complete winner.

Here are just a few of my favorite bridal selections for the encore bride to choose from. With a selection like this, an encore bride can't go wrong, and she is sure to feel like the beautiful bride-to-be that she is.
