Wedding Etiquette For Second Time Brides
In the past, it was unheard of to plan a reception for a second marriage and most couples either chose to elope or have a small ceremony and dinner
afterwards, inviting only a few close friends & family. But times have changed & so have the rules for what is considered acceptable when getting
hitched a second time.While some couples still choose to elope or have a small affair, others go for a more elaborate reception, even having their
children participate in the ceremony. According to Wedding consultant Denise Walpole, the growing trend seems to be couples tailoring their
second, third and even fourth weddings to what works for them. So, whatever you decide, there's no right or wrong way to celebrate. But,
remember, what is comfortable for one couple may not be for another. Thats why its particularly important to consider your preferences as a couple,
factoring in personalities, religion, finances, family customs and life situations when planning a second wedding.

- Anything goes as far as a ceremony and/or reception. Keep it small and simple, or make it big. Either way, works today. The key is making
everyone feel comfortable. - A bride who has been married previously can choose the wardrobe and flowers of her choice. While a white gown no longer symbolizes
purity, many encore brides are opting for color gowns and/or accessories. Many choose not to wear the blusher veil which, traditionally,
symbolized virginity. Orange blossoms symbolize first time brides, so encore brides may choose not tom use them in their bouquets (but its
perfectly acceptable if they do). - Encore brides can be given away by a father, a brother, or even a friend. Or, a second-time bride may choose to walk down the isle by
herself. - Typically, the bride and groom host their own affair, but it is equally common for the parents of both the bride and groom to offer some
financial support. However, such help shouldn't be expected if the parents contributed to the first wedding.

At Magical Music we realize that many people may want to have a simple yet elegant affair. They would like a
Professional Disc Jockey to provide music for ambiance and to entertain their guests but their expectations are
not necessarily that of a first time bride or a bride planning a Wedding with an open ended budget where the sky
is the limit. If you are getting married a second or third time or if you already have a growing family this may be
you. Perhaps you are planning an in house or backyard event or you legitimately have a very small budget to
work with. We take pride in offering packages for every type of event. No couple should feel that they have to
eliminate music just because of their circumstances or what people may think...
