Bride etiquette for convalidation

[Alexades94]

Hello everyone,

We are planning on having a convalidation. My husband and I got married a couple of years ago but unfortunately never got to do the religious wedding. I always wanted to have a wedding with friends and family present but it will be only immediate family in this convalidation.

I dont really am a dress person so I was thinking about wearing very formal pants at the altar but just not a gown… it would still be formal and respectful.

I have been looking like crazy on opinions or answers in regards to this matter but I just wanted to seek out your opinion.

Thank you!!

You can wear what you would normally wear to Mass as long as it’s clean and modest.

Wear whatever you want to wear. There are no requirements to wear a wedding gown or a dress.

After sixteen years of marriage, we had our marriage convalidated. My wife wore a dress and I wore a suit. A few family members joined us. We took a few pictures since the church was decorated for Christmas. It’ll be three years this Saturday.

I’ve see everything from jeans to a full ballgown on a bride at the convalidation. This is a special day, wear whatever you like!

This is what my wife and I did. She wore a nice dress she owned (not her wedding dress) and I a suit. We had our immediate family present.
