Fall Wedding Guest Dresses We Love for 2023

Ready for fall wedding season? These are the best guest dress trends of the season.

While we love a spring and summer wedding, fall weddings hold a particularly special place in our hearts. Colors get darker, fabrics get richer, and the DETAILS! We cannot get enough of the details. Fall wedding season offers attendees so many unique wedding guest dresses to choose from.
Feeling a little overwhelmed by the wedding dress code and the changing weather? No matter the stage of autumn your event takes place in or the attire the wedding calls for (yes, black-tie and white-tie, too), these fall wedding guest trends for 2023 will still reign supreme.
Here are all the trends we’re obsessed with for fall and the best wedding guest dresses to fit them:

BEADING

As far as we’re concerned, beading is always in style, but this season beading has been taken to new heights by way of 3D designs. Hand-embellished by layering beads and sequins atop one another, beaded wedding guest dresses for fall don’t just sparkle, they come alive. While these fall wedding guest dresses may look expensive, there is something for every budget. If the dress code calls for black-tie or white-tie, a beaded gown boasting 3D florals is the perfect look. Embrace the beaded trend for your next fall wedding with this black-tie dress:

SEQUINS

As the little sister of beading, sequins also are standing out for the fall wedding season. Boasting less heft and offering more versatility for weddings with a cocktail dress code, there’s alot to love about this fall trend. From all-over embellishment to simple accents, a sequin wedding guest dress is a great way to choose your preferred level of shine - and find an eye-catching fall wedding guest dress in your budget. Showing off a bold ombre design, this sequin dress is the perfect way to add autumn colors to your next fall wedding:

FEATHERS

If there were any trending look you HAVE to try at least once this wedding season, it has to be feathers. This ethereal addition adds glamor and drama to every look, but none make a statement quite as much as when added to a wedding guest dress. From shoulders and busts to skirts and hemlines, feathers can be found adorning all of your favorite jumpsuits and dress silhouettes. Our stylists love this wedding guest dress for fall accented by lovely feathers at the shoulders:

ANKLE-LENGTH HEMS

The ankle-length dress trend has hit the scene in a big way, and we expect to see it all over this fall wedding season. The not-quite-gown, not-quite-midi look isn’t just chic, it’s practical. Less hemming and no worrying about your skirt getting in your way on the dance floor? Now that’s a wedding guest dress worth reaching for this fall. Featuring all of the sparkle you love without the extra length, this ankle-length dress is the perfect wedding guest dress:

JUMPSUITS

Perfect for an outdoor wedding or a fall wedding with a semi-formal or cocktail dress code, the popularity of jumpsuits is skyrocketing. Featuring details as varied as the wearer themselves, the perfect jumpsuit for a fall wedding is easy to find. Plus, the pants on these one-piece styles are a great way to combat cooler weather. Our stylists love this jumpsuit for fall wedding guest duty:

LBD
