ttve popularity of the Victorian era, bridal accessories also recall the period with pearl and rhinestone chokers. Romantic touches include rose earrings, lots of shine from rhinestone-trimmed shoes and brooches and glittery earrings of a larger size than the traditionally demure bridal pearls.

Those shopping for wedding dresses are advised to gear the dress style to their budget.

"You can spend as little as $200 for a nice wedding dress, but if you are on a strict budget, choose a well-made garment without beading and not in a costly fabric,” says Dessy.

That’s because imported lace and silk fabrics are expensive and if used on an inexpensive dress, the maker may have cut corners on fabrication.

Men are also epjoying a wider choice of styles. New looks for the spring 1987 groom, according to Bride's Magazine, include seersucker shawl collar tuxedos in blue and white stripes or white-on-white stripes with black trousers.

Some ideas for accessories include colorful paisley ties, suspenders and watchbands. Stylish shoes are pumps in black suede, lizard mid other skins or leather with skin inserts.

Second-time brides have many options for dresses. Traditional long wedding dresses are fine, but it is suggested that the bride leave off the train and the veil. Colors considered appropriate include white, off-white, ivory and pastels. Instead of the traditional lace, taffeta and silkfaced satin, try jersey, chiffon, charmeuse or any silk evening dress material, suggests Dessy.

More sophisticated bodyhugging sheaths or gently flared or gathered skirts with matching jackets are also popular with many second brides.
