23 Fall Wedding Guest Dresses We Love
The leaves are changing colors, the air is getting cooler, and you're craving apple cider and pie. Plus, wedding invitations are rolling in from your autumn-loving friends. This all means just one thing: Fall wedding season is finally here. While your closet is probably bursting with sundresses and maxis perfect for wearing in the summer heat, you might find that you're in need of a new dress (or two!) to don in honor of the upcoming season's celebrations. Whether the festivities are intimate (or maybe even virtual) due to COVID-19 or you're planning ahead for next year's festivities, these fall wedding guest dresses are sure to wow whenever—or however—you wear them.
Forego light and airy pastels in favor of rich jewel tones. After all, fall is the perfect time to take a nod from nature and explore colors reminiscent of changing leaves. Whether you're headed to an outdoor wedding at a mountain venue or a classic church ceremony, we're sharing silhouettes that will work for any autumnal occasion. If you're looking for something classic, it's the perfect opportunity to find that perfect little black dress. On the hunt for something formal? We found floor-length gowns in a variety of different cuts and colors. Although almost any material will do, we're partial to cold-weather favorites like velvet; we found a few striking dresses made from the rich, luxe fabric, including an off-the-shoulder sheath dress in the dreamiest shade of plum.
