9 Dresses To Wear To A Fall Wedding

Though wedding season is at its height in the summer months, fall wedding can be equally, if not more, stunning, with gorgeous crimson hues and deep florals all around. Unfortunately, your summer ensembles won't suffice — here, a list of 9 dresses to wear to a fall wedding that'll have you looking chic and feeling cozy, cause nobody's got time for shivering.

While summer weddings are beautiful, especially for vintage, boho-themed nuptials, I almost prefer fall weddings, since there's a little breeze (which we all need after a night of drinking and dancing, tbh), and there's really nothing more beautiful than fall foliage. But — when the temperature drops, especially as the sun goes down, you'll want a dress that'll keep you cozy (or, at least, not let your nips go haywire).

When it comes to formal dresses to wear to a wedding, there's a few criteria: 1. Do not wear white. We all know that as the Cardinal Rule. 2. A little modesty never hurt anybody. 3. It's seasonally and locationally appropriate. If you're attending a summer wedding, a short dress is probably totally cool, but once it's approaching fall, a midi or full-length gown is probably best. Luckily, there are so many options for the gorgeous autumn season.
