| 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. |
To guide you, here are some of Walpole's "Encore Wedding Etiquette Tips."
for you.

- 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... We will work with you to gain your confidence and suggest ways we can help to provide music
services that will enhance your special day. All you need to do is call me, (Jim) at 631-921-5599 or email me
at jp@magicalmusicusa.com and I will do what it takes to work out a rate that will enhance your event and
provide a fun and memorable time for all. Why wait? Why not call now? What do you have to lose. Best of
luck with your plans. I look forward to your call. To find out more browse our site and make sure you visit
