We typically think about summer as prime wedding season, but according to reports this last Saturday, (October 19th) was one of the most popular days of the year to get married. In fact, actress Jennifer Lawrence got married in Rhode Island on Saturday! Fall has quickly turned into one of the most popular times of the year to get married! These days weddings are held everywhere from churches to outdoor venues, barns, orchards, vineyards, backyards – you name it! Shopping for fab fall wedding guest dresses for every different type of wedding you’re invited to can be fun, but it can also be a struggle! I don’t know about you, but I would rather have one dress that I can wear everywhere than a dozen I will only wear once! Not to mention there are thousands upon thousands of dresses to choose from.

As a flower farmer, wedding guest, and fashion lover, I love that fall weddings are gaining popularity! For one, dahlias and garden roses are readily available and absolutely beautiful; the weather is much cooler than it is in the summer, and there are quite a few fabulous dresses and colors to choose from! 

If you’re shopping for a gorgeous new fall dress that you can wear this season, the holidays, and for wedding seasons to come, you’re in luck! Today, I’m excited to share 32 of the best fall wedding guest dresses in every style, color, and price range. I also dished on simple ways you can accessorize them with jewelry, shoes, and accessories.

 

Style expert, journalist and fashion blogger Candie Anderson of candieanderson.com has the scoop on the best fall wedding guest dresses in every style and trend.
