Dresses to Wear to a Fall Wedding: 2024 Trends

Several wedding trends that embody “remixed wedding attire” are going to be popular throughout 2024, according to several fashion & wedding experts interviewed by Brides.com.

  • Enchanted Garden Florals: “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking!” That’s what Miranda Priestly said (sarcastically) about a spring fashion line featuring florals in the movie “The Devil Wears Prada”. But what about florals for fall? More specifically, a fall wedding? According to experts, the ‘Enchanted Garden” trend is bucking the trend of more subdued solids in favor of pretty floral prints in both traditional fall colors as well as brighter shades.

Bold Party Pieces: From sequins to bolder prints, feel free to go bold this fall (so long as you don’t outshine the bride(s) and/or groom(s).

Universal Suiting: Not a dress kinda gal? Looking to mix things up a bit? Pantsuits for women are in (they’re also warmer than dresses for a Fall wedding)! Whether you choose a more gender-neutral option or a feminine fit in a trendy color like Peach Fuzz, don’t be afraid to ditch the dress this fall in favor of a fashionable suit.

Fall 2024 Formal Dress Trends

If you’re attending a more formal wedding this Fall, look no further than these formal dress trends for 2024:

  • Feathers
  • Sequins
  • Lurex
  • Velvet
  • Fringes
  • Pantsuits

Another popular trend we fully embrace here at Anthony’s when it comes to mother-of-the-bride dresses for fall 2024 is adding a cape to your existing dress or choosing a dress with a built-in cape. Not only do capes and dress toppers provide stylistic drama to an outfit, but they also offer added coverage and warmth making them perfect for fall weddings.

Cocktail Chic for Fall 2024

While the above trends apply to evening gowns and floor-length pieces, fall 2024 cocktail dresses with sequins or lurex, feathers, or fringes will also be very much in vogue. Of course, a wedding is all about the bride(s) and/or groom(s), but there are plenty of fall wedding guest dresses for 2024 that are stylish and dramatic, helping you look and feel your best!
