Picking out a wedding dress as an older bride is a vastly different experience to that of a younger bride. This probably is not that surprising when you consider younger people often have quite different tastes in clothing and fashion. As a result the bride will be more likely to opt for something that resonates with their own particular style as opposed to the type of dress we associate marriage with in a traditional sense.

Mature brides have often established their own sense of style by this stage of life and as a result will be less bound by typical wedding day traditions. In fact many mature brides may be remarrying and have already experienced a traditional wedding, although certainly not all mature brides have been through a divorce. As modern life dictates there is more more pressure to establish a career nowdays before getting married and starting a family and this has resolved in more people marrying later in life.

Picking the Dress that Suits you as Opposed to the Dress that Looks great in the Store

Another advantage an older bride will have is experience when it comes to fashion. Mature brides will often have a far better idea of ​​the style of dress that will suit them best. Younger brides will typically choose a wedding dress that looks great in the store or on paper but will give little consideration to how suitable the dress is for their particular look. One of the biggest mistakes many younger brides make when it comes to selecting a dress (and selecting a dress for their bridesmaids) is they tend to move away from what works and go for something completely out of character on their wedding day. This is hardly surprising but is something that should be avoided.

Most mature brides will often opt for something more humble with less embellishments and accessories. This not only conveys a sense of confidence but extremely will reflect the style of the bride in question.

White Dress or Not

This really does depend. Not so long ago the white dress was a reflection of innocence and was not considered appropriate for someone remarrying however times do change. And the color white is now seen as a color that represents a new beginning rather than just purity. It is quite acceptable for a mature bride or one who is remarrying to wear white but most will opt for something neutral such as beige or cream.
