Summer nights are on their way out and fall weddings are beginning to pack out our social calendars. That short summer formal dress you love might be a bit too ambitious for an October wedding. But don’t worry, as our fall wedding guest dresses are perfect to fight that October chill. We’re thinking maxi and midi styles, long sleeves, copious amounts of style, and champagne of course – because we of all people know that fall doesn’t mean lacklustre.
We’ve picked out our strongest contenders to help you to decide what to wear to that fall wedding. So it’s time to say I do! (Whether it be to a fiancé or to the perfect fall wedding guest outfit).
Fall Dresses for Wedding Guests
When we think of fall dresses, we think of blown out, exaggerated florals, or orange tones and burnt out burgundies. However, this year we’re brightening up fall with an explosive color palette that we’ve borrowed from summer. This fall, when it comes to fall dresses for wedding guests, anything goes.
Even though the temperature may be dipping, it doesn’t mean that we can’t show some skin. Backless, bardot, or cut-out detailing paired with a maxi silhouette is the perfect way to show off your summer glow. Accessorize with strappy sandals or closed toe platform heels, and be sure to carry a scarf or shawl for later in the evening to throw over your fall wedding guest dress.
Fall Wedding Guest Dresses with Sleeves
Let’s answer the age-old question of what to wear to a fall outdoor wedding? Sleeves of course. A fall wedding guest dress with sleeves will be your trusty plus one to any events in your social calendar. In order to balance your silhouette, choosing a long sleeve maxi dress with cut-outs, and a plunging neckline will mean that your body will be cinched in all the right places. Style with some low heeled mules and statement earrings for the perfect fall outdoor wedding guest outfit.
Fall Wedding Guest Outfits
Tailoring is having a huge moment this year, and let’s not just save this for the groomsmen. We’re loving tailored flared pants or mini skirts styled with matching blazers, or a contrasting crop top. Opt for bright colors, clean lines, and double-breasted detailing to give some shape to your blazer.
Or try a fall wedding guest jumpsuit complete with angel sleeves and fall floral prints for instant impact. Pair your fall wedding guest outfit with strappy heels and an embellished shoulder bag.
Plus Size Wedding Guest Dresses for Fall
We’ve dialed the details up a notch for our plus size fall wedding guest dresses with statement silhouettes, ruffles, and loud prints. Dare to bare? We have high slit or plunging necklines that show that little more skin, whilst still being wedding appropriate.
A maxi plus size wedding guest dress for fall is guaranteed to make an entrance, whilst ensuring that you’re fit for the weather. Style with mules and a cute, embellished clutch to make sure you’re wedding ready.
Casual Fall Wedding Guest Dresses
Maybe you’re looking for fall wedding guest attire for a more casual affair – fear not, we have plenty of semi-formal or completely casual options too. For a casual fall wedding guest dress, choose floaty fabrics with dainty, floral prints or statement features. You could choose to dress down your formal dress with boots or flat sandals and a leather jacket, or pick a failsafe slip dress and accessorize with simple jewelry and mules.
