When the Bride is Marrying for the Second Time:

If the bride is being married for the second time, she should choose a gown that does not have a long train and she should not wear a veil near her face. Somewhat, a tea-length or floor-length dress is more appropriate. This is now acceptable for a second time bride to wear a white gown.

- A wreath of flowers, a hat, a tiara, or another item can be worn in the hair, or the bride may choose not to wear any head covering.

- If a veil is worn, it should be short and be attached at the back of the head. And blusher that covers the face is worn only by first-time brides.

First-time Brides Who Have Children:

The same etiquette applies to a first-time bride who has a child or children that applies to a bride who is marrying for the second time. A bride should choose a dress without a train, or with a very short one, and she should not wear a veil near her face.

Choosing the Veil:

When choosing a veil, consider both the style of your gown and the height of the groom. In a way the bride and groom are near the same height, a veil with a headpiece that fits snugly on the head, or fits on the back of the head, will look better than one that is taller.

* Veils can be made in many different lengths. The most admired are shoulder-length, elbow-length, and floor-length.

- A sheer, floor-length veil looks lovely with a gown that has a full skirt and a train, but it does not work as well with a fitted gown.

- Whether you choose to wear a blusher over the face is a matter of choice and will depend on the type of head piece chosen, since some head pieces are not made for a blusher.

- If you like to sew, veils are easy and inexpensive to make.

* In summer, or for an outdoor or casual wedding, the bride may choose to wear a wreath of flowers or flowers in her hair instead of a veil. 
Tiara may also be worn in place of a veil or in addition to a short veil.
