Fall wedding season is quickly approaching, which means it’s time to switch out your bright summer florals for something a bit darker, richer, and ready for autumn. We know how overwhelming it can be to try to find a dress that matches the season, the weather, and of course, the bride and groom’s desired theme, which is why we’ve broken it down into four key fall colors: brown, green, burgundy, and burnt orange. If you’re heading to an autumn wedding and have free range to choose whichever color dress you want, this guide is for you.
