Being married before gives you the benefit of hindsight when planning your next wedding.

Second, third or even eight-time Cairns weddings can be the perfect excuse to throw away the formalities and have the Cairns wedding party you always dreamed of.

It is generally accepted that the bridal couple pay instead of the parents, so mothers or mother-in-laws can take a back seat when it comes to making Cairns wedding plans.

There is no set etiquette to follow – just follow your heart.

Get married in a church wearing a big white wedding gown, go for understated elegance at the beach or don a dive suit and head out to the Great Barrier Reef.

While getting married at the same venue as your first wedding may be tacky, there’s no need to make sure your next Cairns wedding is completely different.

Perhaps the only place wedding etiquette comes to play is where you have children from your earlier marriage.

They need to be told as soon as you become engaged and experts agree they should be included in your wedding plans in roles they are comfortable with.

Daughters can be flower girls, sons can be the best man or give the bride away.

The family could take a vow together, light a unity candle or the children also could be given rings – anything that symbolically brings the family together during your Cairns wedding.
