34 Stunning Fall Wedding Guest Dresses to Consider This Season


‘Tis the season for rich palettes saturated with earthy colors in equally lavish fabrics. Plum, burgundy, moss green, terracotta… each shade, when coupled with silk twill, wool blends, and even leather makes for quite the thematic pairing. Narrowing it down to just one (or two, or three) of the best fall wedding guest dresses is a task ideally guided by your event’s venue.

Complement the foliage at a mountainside venue with Galvan’s floor-length halter in ochre silk or Massimo Dutti’s bordeaux-hued, Grecian-inspired pleated V-neck frock. For a city affair, a seasonal version of a little black dress is always appropriate; Matteau’s strapless column dress is a timeless option, while Marni makes an open-back satin gown that looks straight out of a Bond movie (minus all the drama). Moody floral prints and sweet ruffles from Kika Vargas and Zimmermann prove warm-weather hallmarks can work for laid-back autumn settings, too. And fairytale destination weddings call for equally enchanting designs. Tove’s drop waist maxi, Zara’s cobalt blue one-shoulder dress, and Diarrablu’s neckline-customizing cape style all come to mind. These and more of the best fall wedding guest dresses, below, that’ll get you excited to RSVP “yes.”
