They say lightning never strikes the same place twice. Thank goodness that doesn’t cover love. Now you have another chance to create the perfect wedding. You can have exactly the ceremony you want and pick the perfect second wedding dress.

You may or may not know what you want. What customs should you pay attention to? Which can you ignore? Today we’ve laid out some common second wedding myths, and their answers.

Common Myths of Second Wedding Dresses

Myth #1: You can only wear pure white in the first wedding.

Wrong. Your wedding dress is just that. Your dress. You have to wear it. You have to look at the pictures of yourself in it.

So what if it’s your second time around? Wear whatever wedding dress makes you feel gorgeous. Here are the only two questions you need to worry about:

Do I look good in pure white? Am I comfortable wearing pure white?

If the answer to either is no, then ivory, ecru, or oyster might be the colors for you.

Myth #2: I can’t wear a wedding dress at my second wedding. I should stick to a dress suit or evening gown.

Oh please. Your second marriage is just as important as your first. And it will be even better, now that you’re more experienced.

It’s your wedding. Wear a wedding dress if that’s what you want.

If you don’t, no worries. Your wedding wear options as a second time bride are more flexible.

And less fussy. Is your wedding an informal affair? It’s entirely appropriate to wear a pantsuit. Or a slim sheathe. Pick an outfit that fits the mood of your ceremony.

Myth #3: I can’t wear a Blusher veil or a long train.

Can’t is such a strong word. Wedding dresses for second time brides tend not to have them. They tend to be reserved for first-timers.

But why should you suffer if you really want a cathedral-length gown? Maybe you didn’t have one the first time. Or you simply love the style.

If you can wear a long train with panache, then go for it.

Blusher veils - the kind that cover your entire face - are another matter.

These are strongly associated with purity and innocence. Why would you hide that hard-won experience anyway? Choose a veil that shows your face and wear it with pride.

The only rule every second time bride must follow is this:

Choose a wedding dress you love.

Make it gorgeous. Make it you. You’ll never regret it.
