Fall weddings can be tricky weather-wise, as depending on the location, it can be warm during the day and cold at night. To combat this seesaw, it’s best to bring a piece of outerwear. “To maintain a sophisticated look, pair your party dress with either a velvet blazer or faux fur cape, or consider the chic juxtaposition of a menswear-inspired, oversized blazer and frilly dress—a fashion-forward, on-trend pairing that looks straight off the fall runways,” suggests Kosich. What shoes are best for a fall wedding? “Choose your footwear carefully given how much standing (and dancing!) weddings require,” says Kosich. “Shop wedges or platforms for more stability, or even a classic block heel. For a fashion-forward, avant-garde look, pair a metallic open-toed, high-heeled sandal with bright colored tights. And if your stilettos are sky high, consider bringing a second pair that's lower for late night relief.” Can I wear a floral dress to a fall wedding? While florals are often associated with spring and summer, they can easily be worn in the fall when in the right colors and designs. “Take cues from the fall color palette and shop earthy hues like plum, olive, and rust and opt for abstract floral prints that are slightly blurred,” suggests Kosich. “The overall effect is softer and gentler, and is sure to not upstage the bride. Farm Rio Vintage Wave Long Sleeve Maxi Dress shows how to do fall florals right. Chelsea Frank has been a comedy and lifestyle writer for nearly 10 years. She’s contributed to dozens of online publications, researching and writing on several topics from clean beauty and fashion to travel and wellness.

If you’re not quite sure where to begin, “a classic cocktail dress is a stylish and appropriate choice for a fall wedding,” says stylist Elizabeth Kosich.

Besides the color, you want to make your dress suits the dress code and weather, which can be tricky as fall days can range from warm to chilly.

FAQs
What dress to wear to a winter wedding? ›
When it comes to style for a winter wedding, you'll often see dark colors or jewel tones, crushed velvet dresses, and even some long-sleeve gowns.
What's in style for a fall wedding guest? ›Colors tend to be moodier: wine, plum and midnight abound. A long-sleeve dress is perfect for outdoorsy venues, especially if the night air is chilly. Stilettos and pointy toes can be tricky on grass, so a block heel or platform is the safest bet.
What not to wear to a winter wedding? ›Choose your color wisely. First and foremost, when it comes to color, it is a commonly known fact not to wear white to a wedding. But, I would also recommend staying away from anything that could be construed as white. This includes very light pastels and even white dresses with floral prints.
What should a 50 year old woman wear to a winter wedding? ›My favorite dress types for women over 50 are fit and flare and A-line silhouettes. These two styles are flattering for so many body types. They have a defined waistline and are very forgiving as they take attention away from the midsection and camouflage wider hips and thighs.
What colors to wear to a winter wedding? ›Metallic tones such as gold, silver, and bronze, also work well for winter weddings. Pro tip from wedding planner, Karen Brown: "If you're attending a winter wedding, dress in warm colors like burgundy, brown, purple, gray, and green."
What colors are best for a winter wedding? ›Typically, wedding colors for winter are richer and darker compared to color palettes in other seasons. Jewel tones (like navy blue, ruby red, emerald green and purple) are always a popular choice, as are metallic colors, like silver and gold.
What should a female guest wear to a fall wedding? ›Our advice? Opt for lightweight styles and silhouettes, in warmer tones like mustard yellow, burgundy or olive green. The colors of this dress may scream 'fall', but its flowy silhouette and breathable Georgette fabric say 'second summer'.
What should a wedding guest wear in October? ›October is peak fall, so go ahead and embrace a seasonal look (you know, if that's your vibe). Warm Earth tones are the perfect choice for dresses, suits and separates alike. No matter the weather, you can always lean into the spooky season vibes by opting for classic October hues like burnt orange, plum and black.
What is the wedding dress code for fall? ›Fall weddings allow wearing dresses of rather thick fabrics like satin or velvet (that aren't appropriate for summer events), but it's not a rule and you are free to wear a dress made of chiffon or other light fabrics. The dress colors are usually quite dark like burgundy, purple, brown, gold, navy and dark green.
What color dress should a guest not wear to a wedding? ›We advise against wearing white to weddings, but a printed dress with a hint of white or ivory is definitely approved. A black-and-white dress is a classic choice, as long as the pattern isn't too distracting.
What color is not appropriate for a wedding? ›
Traditionally, the only off-limits color for wedding guests has been white, for obvious reasons—no one wants to take attention away from the bride. But times are a-changin'. Now, many people simply don't see wearing white as a big deal. Some brides and grooms are totally cool with it.
Can you wear open toed shoes in winter to a wedding? ›You could certainly wear a closed-toe shoe, if you prefer; that Jute Glam is gorgeous! But I have no problem with open toe shoes in the winter for a formal event. Just make sure to get a pedicure! In the winter, some type of wrap is essential.
What should a 75 year old wear to a wedding? ›Pantsuits, jumpsuits, and dresses are appropriate choices for casual weddings. Women over 60 can choose knee-length, tea-length, or full-length dresses for most wedding themes. A full-length gown is the most suitable choice for formal or black-tie events.
Is it OK to wear black to a wedding? ›As a general rule, "wearing black is totally acceptable, as the hue is very versatile," says bridal stylist Julie Sabatino of The Stylish Bride. Make the shade work for you—at any type of wedding—with these ideas for choosing the right fabrice, length, and accessories.
Can you wear a blazer over a dress to a wedding? ›A Blazer. For more casual dress codes, from semi-formal to cocktail, a blazer will round off your attire in a fun and trendy way. While a classic tuxedo silhouette is a safe option, there are so many alternatives to choose from if searching for a more feminine or unique style.
What should a female guest wear to a winter wedding? ›Winter weddings are likely to take place indoors, so you'll want to choose an outfit that's just warm enough once you take off your coat. A dress with sleeves, a maxi dress, or even a fancy jumpsuit are great ways to dress for the occasion. Take advantage of fabrics that look stylish while keeping you warm.
Do you have to wear a long dress to a winter wedding? ›Since a winter wedding is in the winter when it's, well, cold out, you may want to choose a long sleeve dress. You could go short (I love this one and it's on sale) or a full length gown too. A midi length is also great. But long sleeves will keep you warm and ensure your dress is seasonally appropriate.
Can you wear bare legs to a winter wedding? ›It gives your outfit the smart factor, adds elegance AND keeps you warm. I really feel the cold and simply cannot endure cold legs and feet for hours, so when it comes to winter weddings I would always try and have my legs covered.
Is it OK to wear black to a winter wedding? ›"I have beautiful brides wearing black wedding dresses," said Anastasia Stevenson, a destination wedding planner with Coastal Creative Weddings in Tybee Island, GA. "It is perfectly acceptable and chic to wear black to evening, black tie, and winter weddings."
