Fall 2024 Wedding Guest Dresses That Transition Perfectly Beyond the Celebration Menu (Your Shopping Guide) I’m Invited to a Fall Wedding & Here Are the Dresses I’m Eyeing They’re all standouts. by Kelsey Stewart Just now
You know how some people meticulously plan their outfits weeks in advance? Well, I’m not one of them. I’m that friend who texts “leaving in a few” while still in front of the mirror deciding on my look. This last-minute approach extends to special events too. Take my friend’s upcoming wedding in a little over two weeks—I’m still on the hunt for the perfect dress. Thankfully, I’ve rounded up some stunning contenders that fit the fall vibe and are sitting in my cart. If you’re in a similar situation, or if you’re simply looking to refresh your wardrobe, keep reading.
The wedding will take place in Savannah, Georgia, which means I don’t have to stress about bracing for frigid weather. However, I want to steer clear of anything that feels too summery. That’s why I’m drawn to dresses featuring autumn florals, rich hues like the trendy burgundy, and plush fabrics like velvet. Comfort also ranks high on my list—nothing irritating or too fitted will do.
As always, I’m turning to my favorite dress brands like STAUD, Bernadette, and RIXO for their latest styles that meet my needs. Below, check out ten dresses that have captured my attention for this fall wedding.
STAUD Maxi Phare Dress in Earth Pressed Floral $595 Experience the charm of quintessential fall florals. The chic one-shoulder design adds sophistication without showing too much skin. I’d opt for a pair of seasonal burgundy kitten heels to complement it perfectly.
A.L.C. Nadia Satin Gown $695 If you want to be the center of attention (while still keeping the bride’s spotlight safe), this eye-catching red gown from A.L.C. is your best bet. Plus, its versatility makes it perfect for upcoming holiday gatherings.
Reformation Oren Silk Dress $328 I’m all about this chocolate brown trend for fall, and Reformation’s luxurious silk dress captures it beautifully. The accompanying neck scarf elevates the entire look.
Andrea Iyamah Ratu Mesh Dress $353 The Ratu Mesh Dress from Andrea Iyamah is a bestseller for good reason. With its draped design and burnt orange shade, it’s bound to turn heads.
Lioness Field Of Dreams Dress $109 For those on a budget, you can’t overlook Lioness’ chic navy drop waist dress. It’s not only wedding-ready but will also be a staple for date nights or winter events.
Mango Asymmetrical Bow-Neck Dress $350 Having listened to Charli XCX’s Brat album more times than I can count, I’m still obsessed with the lime green trend. This silk bow-neck style is a fabulous choice for a fall celebration.
Bernadette Dress Melody €560 While this flirty little number might appear too short for some, on my 5’2” frame, it should be just right. I adore the sweet bow details on the shoulders.
RIXO Clarice Lace-Trimmed Velvet Midi Dress $360 I already own a RIXO dress in a soft baby blue, which I wore to an event a few years back. I’m excited about trying this festive burgundy version as well.
Aligne Puff Sleeve Satin Midi Dress $245 You can never go wrong with a puff-sleeve design, and Aligne’s dramatic satin version is no exception. To add a pop of color, consider pairing it with pastel or bright pumps.
ROTATE Birger Christensen Strapless Appliquéd Recycled-Mesh And Satin Maxi Dress $520 While I usually shy away from strapless styles due to discomfort, I would consider stepping out in ROTATE Birger Christensen’s beautifully crafted maxi. A simple necklace and neutral heels would complete the look beautifully.
