Consider black stitching in the appliques of a gown for
some drama. Many gowns come with colorful accents or they
can be added later by a talented seamstress.
Almost as long as there have
been bridal gowns, white or ivory
have been the colors of choice
for first-time brides. These light
hues represent the purity and in-
nocence of the bride. Although a
few brides-to-be choose to fore-
go wedding white for something
a bit more flashy -- like pink or
yellow gowns -- a popular trend
today is to wear gowns with ac-
cents of black or other deep col-
ors to add dimension to the white
canvas.
Considering the groom and
groomsmen will be dressed in
black tuxedos, black accents
on a wedding gown have been
growing in popularity and add a
formal, regal look to a wedding.

as well.
Women shopping for bridal
gowns who are considering col-
ored accents should be careful
that these embellishments are
subtle and do not overwhelm the
gown -- or the person who will
be wearing it! Popular enhance-
ments include appliques on the
bodice or the train of the gown.
Another idea is to select a white
gown and then tie a black bow or
sash around the waist or put a lace
shrug over bare shoulders. Black-
and-white lace gloves are also an
option for those who want to add
just a little splash of dimension.
The same concept can be ap-
plied to any accent color. Bur-
gundy or plum colors also work
well to add the contrast of dark
against light and aren’t as ex-
treme as black. Some brides can
also opt for a paler, more pastel
shade to serve as an accompani-
ment to the white gown. Many
times the accent colors chosen
are replicated in the hue of the
bridesmaids’ gowns, so the entire
wedding party looks cohesive.

Wardrobe Options for
Second-Time Brides
Remarriage rates continue tive color to bright white to be
to increase, and many vendors
are now catering specifically
to couples entering second
marriages. A bride getting
married for the second or third
time has just as many attire
options as she did for her first
wedding.
Research indicates that
more than half of all marriag-
es end in divorce. The silver
lining to that cloud is that 54
percent of divorced women re-
marry within 5 years, accord-
ing to the National Center for
Health Statistics. Furthermore,
75 percent of divorced women
remarry within 10 years. These
statistics show that the need
for bridal gowns for women
entering a new marriage re-
mains strong.
When choosing a gown
for a second wedding, brides-
to-be can use their discretion.
Gone is the stigma of wearing
white. However, brides still
may want to choose an alterna-

more complementary to their
skin tones. Off-white, pale yel-
low and pale pink can be flat-
tering shades. If second brides
do choose to wear white, they
may want to avoid a flat white
color. Instead, they can opt
to wear a shimmery shade of
white and a gown with a little
more pizzazz.
The gown -- just as with
first-time weddings -- should
be as formal or as casual as the
wedding itself. At afternoon
weddings it may be acceptable
to wear a tea-length gown or
even a cocktail dress. Enhance
beachside or casual affairs with
less elaborate gowns. Formal
second weddings should still
feature a gown that is formal
in nature.
A more mature bride may
feel more comfortable wearing
a well-tailored pantsuit rather
than a gown. Again, the choice
is up to the bride regarding
what she wants to wear.

‘Groom’ing Tips: Finding the Right
Wedding Wardrobe for Your Groom
All eyes are typically on the
bride during a wedding. But
that doesn’t mean the groom
should be a shrinking violet.
While the bridal gown may
garner the “oohs” and “aahs,”
what the groom wears on his
wedding day is quite important
as well.
In many ceremonies, the
groom spends several minutes
standing beside the alter await-
ing his bride-to-be. Before the
first notes of “Here Comes
the Bride” are played, all eyes
will be on him as he anxiously
awaits the start of the ceremony.
As such, it is essential that the
groom look well polished and
is dressed in accordance to the
tone and scope of the wedding.
Because most weddings
are formal occasions, grooms
often choose to wear a tuxedo
or high-end suit. A well-fitted
tuxedo combined with a formal
shirt, tie and vest is the clas-
sic wedding ensemble. Gener-
ally the tuxedo jacket is single-
breasted with three buttons and
satin trim. This style is univer-
Wedding processional alternatives
Not every bride-to-be has
visions of walking down the
aisle to Wagner’s “Bridal
Chorus.” Some prefer other
songs that are romantic or
dramatic. There may be a par-
ticular song dear to a bride’s
heart or one she just fell in
love with.
For those looking for
something that more accu-
rately reflects the tone of in-
dividual weddings, here are
some selections, courtesy of
The Knot, that can make the
wedding even more special.
Traditional
1. “Air” (Handel)
2. “Canon in D” (Pachel-
bel)
3. “Procession of Joy”
(Hopson)
4. “Te Deum” (Charpen-
tier)
5. “Wedding March” (Mo-
zart)
6. “Canzon V” (Gabrieli)
7. “Romeo & Juliet Love
Theme” (Tchaikovsky)
8. “Winter” (Vivaldi)
sally flattering to most men’s
frames.
Accessorizing the tux-
edo can mean different things.
Some choose to wear a vest
while others opt for a cummer-
bund. Others add suspenders.
These accessories, including
the tie or bow tie and the vest,
can be all black like the tuxedo
or can be coordinated with the
colors of the wedding party. For
example, if the bridesmaids are
wearing butter yellow gowns,
the groomsmen can wear yel-
low accessories. However, to
set themselves apart from the
groomsmen and ushers, grooms
tend to go with the classic black
and white and forego colors. On
some occasions, grooms may
choose to wear a white tuxedo.
Contemporary
1. “Sunrise, Sunset”
(Hamick & Bock)
2. “The Look of Love”
(Burt Bacharach)
3. “The Vow” (Lubbock)
4. “Wedding Processional”
(Rodgers & Hammerstein)
Here are some other con-
temporary songs that can be
used with lyrics or in instru-
mental versions as wedding
processionals or first dances.
1. “Take Me As I Am”
(Love Theme from “Jekyll &
Hyde”)
2. “Marry Me” (Train)
3. “Just the Way You Are
(Bruno Mars)
4. “That’s All I Ask of
You” (Love Theme from
“Phantom of the Opera”)
5. “The Wind Beneath My
Wings” (Bette Midler)
6. “Con Te Partiro” (An-
drea Bocelli)
7. “My Heart Will Go
On” (Love Theme from “Ti-
tanic”)
8. “You Raise Me Up”
(Josh Groban)
