24 Fall Wedding Guest Dresses for Autumnal Celebrations

Even though summer is coming to an end, wedding season is here to stay. Autumn weddings are becoming more and more popular, and summer silhouettes don't always cut it. When deciding what to wear to a fall wedding, you should always start with a confidence-boosting design that suits the requested dress code. From there, color is key for nailing the seasonal vibe. There's no hard rule that says pretty pastels are exclusive to spring and brights to summer (and if there were, we'd say to forget about it). But rich jewel tones and earthy shades (think olive greens, burgundys, mustard yellows and more) feel decidedly fall, as do deeper floral prints, lace, and satin fabrics, and the year-round MVP, the black dress. 

If you're partial to eye-catching design, puff sleeves or an exaggerated A-line silhouette will earn you serious style points. For pared-back tastes, never underestimate the impact of a slip dress or streamlined halter gown. When cooler weather is a more significant factor, like at an outdoor venue, cover up while looking chic in long sleeves, a jumpsuit, or tailored separates. With the right accessories, you can easily take a warm-weather design into fall, too—in place of delicate sandals and woven bags, try a sleek black stiletto, embellished clutch, or feather-adorned pumps.
