While many of us think of spring and summer as wedding season, many couples are leaning into the idea of having their nuptials during the fall months. With fall ceremonies becoming more of the norm, good wedding guest dresses are in high demand. This is where I come in. As your trusted shopping-editor friend. I have already done the heavy lifting for you and spent hours scrolling through our favorite trusted retailers for the fall wedding guest dresses that will guarantee you a spot on the best dressed guest list, from a stunning satin-and-velvet dress from Anna October that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about to a few under-$100 picks from brands like Zara and Lioness that don’t sacrifice style.
Keep scrolling to see the 30 chic dresses I’m recommending for a fall wedding. You can thank me later.
SANS FAFF
Half Moon Evening Dress
If you haven’t started shopping Sans Faff yet, I’m not sure what’s stopping you. Think chic, classic, and well-made pieces you can mix and match with other Sans Faff pieces and your own closet. I’d wear this dress to a black-tie fall wedding for sure.
Anna October
Carla Midi Dress
Out of all the stunning dresses I have listed here, this brown Anna October one is truly showstopping. I mean, wow.
Bec + Bridge
Moondance Strapless Dress
This Bec + Bridge dress will never let you down. I’ve seen so many people wear it, and it looks good on literally everyone.
HOUSE OF CB
Mia Halter Stretch Crepe Sheath Cocktail Dress
I have this dress in off-white, but this plum/berry version would be great for a semiformal wedding.
LIONESS
Robe Mi-Longue Original Sin
Lioness has some surprisingly pretty dresses you could definitely get away with wearing to a wedding.
Norma Kamali
Halter Turtle Side Slit Gown
This Norma Kamali dress doesn’t quit. The open back is so good.
Reformation
Pernille Silk Dress
This silk fabric and romantic neckline make this dress perfect for a celebration of love. I’m obsessed.
