Ten flower-toting bridesmaids and seven groomsmen were in the wedding party. And after the ceremony, 100 guests dined on beef tenderloin, clams casino and a three-tier vanilla cake.

Only a few years ago, it was considered in poor taste for a bride over age 55,you will find so many wonderful wedding dress 100%silk with high quality and low price. particularly if she had been previously married, to do things like wear a fancy wedding gown, rock out to a DJ at the reception or have the groom slip a lacy garter belt off of her leg. But those days are gone: Older couples no longer are tying the knot in subtle ways.

The trend in part is being driven by a desire to emulate the lavish weddings of celebrities of all ages. But it’s also one of the results of a new “everything goes” approach that does away with long-held traditions and cookie-cutter ceremonies in favor of doing things like replacing the first husband-and-wife dance with a group re-enactment of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video. That’s left older couples feeling less conscious about shelling out serious cash to party like their younger peers.

In 2011, women ages 55 and over accounted for 5.2 percent and men in that age range made up 7.9 percent of the more than 2.1 million marriages performed in that year in the U.S.White Organza Beaded Empire Dresses Cocktail Dress., according to Bowling Green State University’s National Center for Family and Marriage Research, based on analysis of census figures.

And those older couples spend more. They’re usually empty nesters who don’t have the same worries as their younger counterparts: They aren’t saving for their first home, for instance, and they aren’t burdened by huge student loan debts they must worry about paying off.

And while older customers represent only two to three percent of overall sales, the company expects that figure to keep growing.

And they’re a lucrative bunch. David’s Bridal, which is based in Consohocken, Pa., said older brides spend about $700 to $800 on gowns, including accessories like necklaces. That’s higher than the $500 to $600 that customers in their twenties and early thirties typically spend.Red Ruched Flower PearlsA-line Ruching Pearl Chiffon Prom gowns Engagement.

But older brides aren’t just spending more, they’re spending differently. For instance, in the past, older brides tended to stick with special-occasion dresses, but now they want more traditional wedding gowns.

The trend is so prevalent that the David’s Bridal store in Danbury, Conn. recently held a bridal fashion show at a nearby nursing and rehabilitation facility.

The couple is spending $10,000 on the reception, which will be held at a wedding hall. They are planning to have 10 people in the wedding party, including her two grown sons, ages 56 and 54, who will be giving her away, and her 5-year-old great grandson who will serve as the ring bearer. The couple also hired a DJ and a florist who is creating a floral arch.
