For starters, pay homage to the season when choosing your wedding guest fit. This means opting for warm, solid colors like coppers, deep reds, and golden yellows — really, anything that reflects the fall foliage. Alternatively, find a subtle fall pattern like this flora midi from asos or even something like Cider's paisley pattern maxi dress. According to Brides, fabrics like silk and tulle are perfect for formal weddings, whereas chiffon is ideal for a more casual affair. Don't be afraid to add a pop of fall-inspired color with accessories. Lulus recommends accenting your outfit with a statement handbag, which is also a great place to keep your phone and lip gloss throughout the night. Jewelry, too, can be a great way to dress-up a casual fit. Sparkling, statement earrings will turn something like this floral-embroidered Lulus maxi dress into a formal gown.
According to Birdy Grey CEO Grace Lee via Wedding Wire, "Fall is a time for richer tones that mimic what we're seeing outdoors." However, if you're not interested in buying a seasonal gown, consider a clothing rental services like Rent the Runway. These services can be a great way to spend less on one-time-use formal wear.
"An essential tip is to know yourself as a guest," Alicia Mae told Brides. "As the saying goes, 'If you look great, you feel great!' Make sure you're confident in your attire to not feel under-or overdressed."
