I wouldn't recommend that a second-time bride wear a white gown, although some brides feel if they got cheated out of it the first time, they'll wear it in a second wedding. A bride should definitely not wear orange blossoms because it is a sign of purity and virginity. Engel's book offers several ideas in planning a second wedding, whether it's a civil ceremony or a religious rite. Another helpful source is the Step Family Association of America, which consists of lawyers, counselors, financial advisers and therapists. This organization can be of great value to people who are remarrying.
Membership allows people to get in touch with members of the board and get answers to questions.
There are more than 60 chapters in 32 states.
