Wedding Guest Head-to-Toe Looks for Fall

Are you attending a fall wedding and don't have any idea what to wear?

I've compiled a few inspiration boards (below) to help you choose a perfect outfit!

I absolutely LOVE weddings - it's a fun day to dress up! My cousin got married last weekend, and I was trying to figure out what I was going to wear for the wedding, because the weather here in SoCal still feels like summer! After looking at the time of the ceremony/reception and type of wedding, I chose a Juicy Couture, black racerback dress, styled with big chunky gold and colorful jewels. The wedding ceremony started in the afternoon and the reception took place in the evening. You can never go wrong with a little black dress - it suited perfectly for an October wedding.

To figure out exactly what you should wear, first, figure what type of wedding it is. Black tie, garden, rustic, beach? What time of day will the wedding take place?

To help you pick an unforgettable wedding guest outfit, i've compiled inspiration boards on Polyvore, to help you figure out what you should wear for the wedding. 

For fall, it's all about the neutrals, darks and textured materials. Beauty should also compliment the outfit. For weddings, I always recommend either a dress or skirt, at any lengths that fit you best, but also depending on the style of the wedding, and time of year.

If you're attending a garden-themed wedding, you want to opt for flowy and romantic styled dresses or skirts. Skirts are definitely appropriate and I highly recommend. You're most likely in a small location, specifically in a backyard somewhere and you want to move around comfortably, especially on that dance floor! Check out these skirts from Macy's and Forever 21 that have some great skirt choices and are affordable!

For a black tie wedding, I recommend a long dress, not short. A long skirt would be great too, but has to look fancy, like a sparkly and shimmery one. You want to look elegant and sophisticated. You'll find great options by BCBG.

Rustic chic weddings are becoming a popular theme for many weddings these days. You can be creative with whatever you wear! A skirt or dress, find something that is chic, bohemian and unique! A dress with gold accents and paired with gold jewels will complete your overall look. Free People has the perfect bohemian and girly dresses for a rustic-chic wedding.

It may be fall, but beach weddings take place all year round! Instead of dressing in a bright colored dress or summer print, still opt for color, but different hues for fall. A nice dull orange and casual dress will be comfortable for the beach. Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack has endless possibilities for not just a beach wedding, but any type of style wedding!
