Heather - There is no standard tradition that requires blue on a dress to indicate children, but if it is important to your father you may consider some pale blue accents or another detail. That could also be the "something blue" in your trousseau, and a lovely way to show your children how they're included in the special day. Best wishes!

I am getting married in March 2009. This will be my second wedding and his first. Of course, this wedding is bigger than my first just because him and I want it that way. My question is I am all for the ivory or champane color dress, but I was told that I was to have blue in my dress also because I have children. I am a christian and my father is all for the tradition deal. Which I agree with him on with not having the pure white dres. But he said I was to have blue also. When he and my stepmom married I don't recall her having blue on her dress and she had kids. Please let me know what the true traditions are. I did read the web site but found nothing about the blue on a dress. Thank you

Shirley - You should wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and special on your wedding day. More mature brides often opt for a tea-length dress that can be worn again to church or other social functions, or a nice pantsuit in a cream or pastel shade (white is usually reserved for younger brides). You could also look for any bridal attire normally geared toward the mother of the bride or mother of the groom; they're often lovely dresses perfectly suitable for you as the bride. These articles may help: Mother of the Bride Dress, Mother of the Groom Dresses, and Tea Length Ivory Wedding Dress. The key is to choose something you like and look glamorous in; enjoy!

I am in my fifties and remarrying. What is appropriate attire for an older bride? All of the information available is geared toward young brides. What about us older gals? There are no guidelines for us.
