What to wear - -
wear what you are comfortable with - a sheath, an A-line, a ball-gown, a suit, maybe in off-white, pearl, ivory, pink, soft lemon, or some other pastel.
If you wish to wear white, go ahead. Its a colour of joy and celebration.
It is not the colour white that some would think not suitable, so much as the style of garment you choose to wear.
Look for something feminine, simple, elegant, dressy, perhaps that you can wear again for some other special occasion.
Length would be your choice given the time of day, and whether formal or informal.
Forget about long trains and long veils, as they are really for a first time bride.
Wearing a veil is a personal choice, but a shorter style not covering the face would be more appropriate. Some tulle or short piece of veiling attached to a small headpice, or a hat would be fine.
(here on right is a lovely choice of gown for a younger person re-marrying. No train, no veil, just a beautiful all-over-lace dress - very simple and feminine.)
