Third wedding--color of my dress okay? Asking for advice.

I'm getting married for the third time. First time was too young and ended in divorce after a year. Second time my husband died (a few years ago) of cancer.

I'm getting married for the third time. First time was too young and ended in divorce after a year. Second time my husband died (a few years ago) of cancer. This time is the charm, and my first real wedding (the first two were courthouse weddings). Many know of my second husband, but few know of my first. I'm having a blast planning... and this is his first wedding! We're both in our forties.

Anyway, we're having an Edwardian-themed wedding. Think Downton Abbey. I've selected a silver dress to match my silver and royal blue colors. Is this weird or inappropriate? I adore my dress, my silver brooch bouquet, and everything else, which I know is really what matters, but I don't want to be inappropriate either.

Please advise. I have plenty of time to get another dress if I want to.

Thanks much!

    This pup is wearing a silver mini and it's my first (and hopefully last) wedding. Wear whatever TF you want that's going to make you feel fabulous!

    Any color you wear sounds fine. Please post pictures when you can. I'm pretty obsessed with Downton Abbey so I'm excited to see your BAM.

    Why not? I think what you've described sounds gorgeous and it shouldn't matter if it's your 3rd wedding. Congrats and have fun planning! Smiley smile

    First off - that dress!!!! Soooo many adjectives to describe it!!!!

    Secondly - white wedding dresses became a "thing" fairly recently (actually with Edward's mom! Haha!) Given that, I feel it's entirely within that theme to wear whatever color dress you want, whether it's your first, fifth, or tenth marriage. And you picked a stunner!
