Fall Wedding Guest Dresses: 6 Looks We Are Loving

A few weeks ago one of you sent us a message that we’ve all been thinking about! Help with fall wedding guest looks!

So we did what sisters do. We texted each other outfit screenshots narrowed it down to some fall wedding guest looks we’d genuinely wear ourselves. Dresses you can layer, colors that look beautiful against changing leaves and comfortable enough to last a wedding in.

To the one who asked, this one’s for you. And to everyone else with a save-the-date on the counter, we hope it helps.

Here are six fall wedding guest dresses and outfits we are loving right now.

1. Uma Velvet Maxi Dress in Bronze + Jade

Velvet is the easiest way to make a dress feel like fall, and this bronze and jade combo photographs beautifully. Shop it at Baltic Born ($140).

2. Marlee Maxi Dress in Brown

A rich chocolate brown that works for almost any fall venue. Add gold jewelry and you are done. Shop it at Bohme ($89.50).

3. Nora Midi Dress in Terracotta

Terracotta might be our favorite fall color, and the midi length is perfect for an outdoor ceremony. Shop it at Bohme ($78.50).

4. Pink Polka Dot Drop Waist Dress

Proof that fall does not have to mean dark colors. The drop waist and the dots feel a little vintage and very fun. Shop it at ASOS.

5. Satin Maxi Skirt + Matching Top

If dresses are not your thing, this is our favorite trick. Pair a satin maxi skirt with a matching dressy top in the same tone. It looks so elevated, and you can rewear both pieces separately all season long.

6. Floral Long Sleeve Wedding Guest Dress

Long sleeves for a chilly reception, in a fitted shape that still feels dressy. Shop it on Amazon.

Do Not Skip the Thrift Store

Honestly, some of our very best wedding guest finds were pre-loved. Formal dresses get worn one time and then donated, so the racks are full of barely worn pieces. We have had great luck at Pre-Loved, Indy Clover and Savers!

You can find all of our Amazon fall wedding guest picks in one place on our Amazon storefront list.

And if you happen to be shopping for a bump instead of a wedding, we also pulled together the maternity clothes worth buying that got us through pregnancy feeling like ourselves.

Good luck!
