Tip For Dressing For A Fall Wedding

Sleeves for a fall wedding

Sleeves!

Sleeved dresses are a great option for a wedding in the cooler autumn months! Another spin on this idea? You can pair a cute cardigan with one of your more summery dresses keeping you cozy and it’s also great for your budget. If you do go with a sleeved dress, this option from Magnolia Boutique offers a fun, casual feel and will help keep your arms a little warmer than your go-to summer frock!

 

Get your sparkle on!

Fall also allows for a more elegant look even if the wedding is pretty laid back. That means it’s time to pull out your bling and shine! One way is to get glitzy with your accessories with these fabulous and sparkly heels from TBDress.com! Glam is always fun so go for the sparkly bling when picking out Fall wedding accessories.

The boots and booties were made for walking (down the aisle!)

This Fall wedding trend will keep your toes nice and warm as you dance the night away. Pair your boots with some adorable tights and you will be ready for a chilled autumn night! We love this look, especially for a Fall barn wedding! Booties are a great option too and super chic with dresses long or short. Knee high boots are also an excellent choice paired with one of your warm weather dresses saving you some money!

Go bold!

Summer is the time for sweet pastels and Fall is the time for bold, rich colors that will make you feel like an Autumn princess! Red is always a good choice when you decide to go bold. You will stand out in the crowd in this scarlet faux wrap dress by Karen Kane from Nordstrom.  OR you could take your cues from nature and pick an orange, brown, or a green dress like this one from Nordstrom or the rust colored dress pictured below from Magnolia Boutique. Those falling leaves will have nothing on you!

 

Go bold for fall

Tailored and fitted takes over!

Just as it is in life, Summer tends to be more flowy and loose while Fall is a little more structured. Which is great, because there are a ton of amazing sheath dresses that will have you kissing summer goodbye with a smile on your face. Check out this LBD from Macy’s! It’s short and sleeveless so it might be best for an early Fall shindig but it’s a great fitted dress that gives you a much more polished look.

Pants for a fall wedding

Pants are dressy too!

If you aren’t a dress person, then Fall is for you! Who says you need to wear a dress to every wedding you attend? Sometimes you just feel like wearing pants and there are some super sleek and chic options out there. Like this one from Banana Republic. Whether you go with patterned or solid pantsuit or a sexy jumper, you will be sharp and stylish as you get ready to celebrate the happy couple, one leg at a time!

 

High necklines

It’s a classic and timeless Fall look that you will love! This isn’t just a warmer option, it tends to be a more elegant one making it a great choice for any autumn nuptials. Another perk of the high neck? You don’t really need a necklace. A great pair of earrings and a simple bracelet are all you need, like with this dress from Dillard’s. The neckline offers all of the flair you need making a necklace not vital to wear this sexy, chic style.

Jumpers are in

The jumper makes a comeback!

One of our favorite trends for Fall is layering a dress over a long sleeved shirt! The best part? You can use a dress you already have! Stylecaster.com pegged this as one of the top trends they saw at this year’s New York Fashion Week! This can be dressed up or down depending on the vibe of your occasion making it a great and versatile option. Layer your dress over a long sleeved blouse for a more formal event or with a black turtleneck and you are good to go!
