On the cusp of the autumn season, there is one thing all soon to be brides and grooms are on the lookout for; guest dresses for the upcoming wedding. While some may be tempted to find generic options, since there tends to be a particular palette associated with summer weddings (lighter hues and florals), fall weddings offer the opportunity to embrace a more creative style when it comes to dress choices for guests.

For starters, fall wedding guest dresses tend to offer more versatility in terms of temperature. Whereas summer wedding dresses can often vary between too heavy or too light for the changing temperatures, that isn’t so much of a problem in autumn. It’s much easier to find appropriate fall wedding guest dresses that are highly adaptive to different temperatures.

The type of fabrics that can be used for these guest dresses is also much more versatile. Fabrics such as silk or chiffon may be too light for summer weddings but are ideal for fall weddings. The use of heavier fabrics such as tweed and velvets are perfect for fall weddings as they offer fitted and body-hugging looks that look elegant and classy.

Fall weddings also offer a much more varied color range for the guests. Wedding guest dresses in summer weddings tend to stick to the traditional white or ivory schemes but autumn weddings allow for a much more creative approach. The use of warm hues and colors such as red, orange, yellow and even pastel shades provide the opportunity to create a unique look. Colors such as burgundy, navy and emerald green look particularly striking in autumn.

The combination of warm colors and heavier fabrics can also provide an opportunity for the bridesmaids to have a much more formal look. Traditional fabrics such as satin, organza and tulle, although usually restricted to summer weddings, look stunning in autumn. With the extra layers of underpinning fabrics, bridesmaids dresses can truly stand out on the day.

To conclude, autumn weddings provide a much more varied and creative approach to what guests can wear. From the use of heavier fabrics, to a more varied range of colors, autumn wedding guest dresses are perfect for providing a stylish and sophisticated look come the big day.
