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.

Disclaimer: This guide is specifically for Black Tie fall weddings. Remember to check your invitation for any specific dress code parameters (e.g. color theme, formality, etc.).

Brown

Blend seamlessly with the autumn landscape in a rich brown hue like chestnut or espresso. This underrated yet elegant color is perfect for fall weddings- especially when chosen in luxe fabrics like satin, velvet, or subtle sequins. Opt for a satin or sequin dress for a little shine or a simple matte brown dress that will serve as an investment piece for years to come. For cooler settings, layer with a sheer brown shawl or wear a long-sleeve turtleneck maxi. Finish the look with delicate diamond jewelry and a black, deep red, or metallic silver clutch.

Green feels so fitting and seasonally-appropriate for an outdoor garden themed wedding among the grass, trees, and flowers. Plus, it’s a universally flattering color that can work for other seasons too. Go for an earthy, moss green color dress with a drop waist that you can dance the night away in. If you want to fully embrace a garden theme, choose a green dress with subtle floral details and finish the look with gold jewelry and natural makeup.

Burgundy is a great choice for evening weddings or ballroom venues that may require some extra elegance. A fitted, off-the-shoulder style is a timeless choice, especially when paired with a matching clutch for a sleek, monochromatic look. If you’re in the mood for something more romantic or detailed, opt for a burgundy dress with extra details like beaded embroidery, lace, or ruffles. This rich hue pairs beautifully with both silver and gold accents.

Few colors capture fall quite like burnt orange. This warm hue perfectly compliments fall scenery and will pop beautifully set against a lake, mountain, or vineyard backdrop. For extra autumnal texture, choose a velvet or ribbed knit fabric. If you’re leaning toward a minimalist dress, amp up the overall effect with statement heels, layered jewelry, and a sleek handbag.
