Along with cooler weather, leaf-peeping, and pumpkin-flavored everything, the fall season usually includes a wedding or two. If you’ve RSVP’d yes to cozy autumn nuptials and are looking for something to wear, the best fall wedding guest dresses come in seasonally appropriate colors and styles that will keep you comfortable from the ceremony through the last dance.

When it comes to fall wedding attire, midi to full-length dresses with longer sleeves can help you stay warm in chilly weather. But that doesn’t mean you have to rule out mini dresses or sleeveless styles — you can still stay comfortable by choosing heavier fabrics like velvet and crepe, and you can always layer with something like a pashmina scarf. You can also choose between form-fitting or flowy styles, or if you’re anything like me, you might prefer a formal jumpsuit that’ll keep your legs warm.

In terms of color, earthy tones such as green, burgundy, orange, and even classic black are ideal for autumn. Beyond that, you can opt for timeless solid-color styles, dark floral patterns, or glamorous sequins that will sparkle all night long.

Also important: Since going to a wedding can be pricey, the picks below are relatively easy on the budget. Whether the wedding you’re attending is casual, cocktail, or black-tie, these are the best fall dresses on Amazon to wear to the wedding(s) on your fall calendar.
