Wedding Ready: Festive Frocks for Fall Weddings

In years past, spring has historically been the go-to season for trips down the aisle, but now brides are opting to say “I do” when the leaves start to fall. And as rescheduled nuptials from the past few years start to crop up, the need to find appropriate ensembles to fit the occasion arises. We reached out to scouted fashion experts across the country for their advice on what to wear to this season’s weddings—whether you’re attending a city celebration, outdoor soiree, glitzy black-tie affair, or all three. Now all that’s left is a refresher on the electric slide.

Metropolitan Affair

You can’t go wrong with a LBD. Sophisticated and sleek, the Sau Lee Penny Dress available from Harper & Hartford Boutique in Charleston, South Carolina, hits the mark with its high-neck and backless silhouette.

We love a festive, fun option like the Saloni Jamie Short Dress With Bows In Dianthus Print available from Nines Apparel in Midland, Texas. The floral print keeps it casual while the embroidered bows add just the right amount of embellishment.

A statement-making mini dress with a ballerina-flair, this Tiered Tube Mini Dress available from Maude in Fayetteville, Arkansas is fashion-forward and not for the faint of heart.

Channel the colors of the season in this golden number. One33 Social’s Leopard Jacquard Draped Mini Dress available from Personal Couture in Huntsville, Alabama, is bold and cheery.

Alfresco Occasion

A classic style, with a twist—the balloon sleeves and textured fabric of Marie Oliver’s Parker Dress available from Personal Couture in Huntsville, Alabama, make it a charming choice for an outdoor affair.

Opting for something a bit different? Smythe Jade’s Floral Tapestry Wide Leg Trouser available from Harper & Hartford Boutique in Charleston, South Carolina, will keep you warm while still being effortlessly stylish.

Comfortable and cute, the Misa Kiera Dress In Paisley available from Nines Apparel in Midland, Texas, is the definition of boho-chic.

Formal Fete

Feminine details and an unexpected print make the Gemma Painterly Print One-Shoulder Gown available from Personal Couture in Huntsville, Alabama, a stand-out option for a formal affair.

The Sau Lee Huda Gown available from Harper & Hartford Boutique in Charleston, South Carolina, is an excellent choice for an evening engagement with its plunging neck-line and a thigh-high slit.
