What to Wear to Fall Weddings

Fall weddings are a beautiful contradiction: chilly evenings, sun-dappled afternoons, and a dress code that’s somehow “formal” yet “effortless.” Translation? Half your closet feels wrong for the occasion. Luckily, that’s where a few standout pieces come in — and they’ll have you gliding through every toast, twirl, and late-night espresso martini without a second thought.

Rule #1: Lean into Luxe Fabrics

Autumn is the season of depth — rich food, golden leaves, velvet nights. Your outfit should follow suit. Lightweight chiffon might float in spring, but for fall? Choose cashmere, silk blends, or romantic ruching that plays well with layered textures.

Enter the Peris Cashmere Dress. Imagine 100% Premier Cashmere cut into a maxi silhouette with a stylized side slit and hand-knotted fringes. The neckline dips just enough to be worn on or off the shoulder, making it queenly without trying too hard. Pair it with strappy heels and delicate gold hoops, and you’ve basically become a walking toast to elegance.

Rule #2: Let Movement Do the Talking

Fall weddings often spill from ceremony to dinner to dance floor — and your dress has to keep up. The Solgo Ruffle Maxi Dress delivers on all fronts. Its cascading layers create a silhouette that moves beautifully under twinkle lights, while subtle ruching keeps it flattering from every angle. It’s dramatic, but not costume-y. Romantic, but not overly sweet. In short: the dress that makes you look like you belong in every single wedding photo, even the candids.

Rule #3: Accessorize Like It’s Autumn

Here’s the trick: accessories are your secret layering piece. Jewel tones (think emerald or garnet earrings) pop against neutral dresses. Metallic clutches feel festive without screaming “holiday party.” A cropped jacket, especially tweed, adds warmth when the temperature dips — bonus points if it also makes you look like you own the vineyard.

Rule #4: Don’t Forget Comfort

Let’s be real: nobody remembers the guest who was “appropriately dressed.” They remember the one who danced like nobody was watching because her outfit actually let her breathe. Both the Peris and the Ruffle Maxi strike the rare balance of elegance and comfort. No tugging. No worrying. Just pure enjoyment of the night.

So this fall, don’t overthink it. Choose pieces that feel as memorable as the vows, and you’ll never have to wonder, “Am I dressed right?” Spoiler: you will be.
