What to Wear to a Fall Wedding: Guest & Mother of the Bride/Groom Style Guide

Fall weddings have a special kind of magic - the crisp air, golden leaves, and cozy atmosphere make them unforgettable. But figuring out what to wear can be tricky! At Zoya’s Atelier, we’re here to help you navigate fall wedding fashion with confidence and style, whether you’re a guest or the mother of the bride or groom. Here are some of our top tips: 


Embrace Seasonal Colors
Fall is all about rich, warm colors that complement the season. Think deep burgundy, burnt orange, mustard yellow, forest green, navy, and jewel tones like emerald or sapphire. Metallic accents, like gold, bronze, or copper, can add a touch of sophistication.

Choose the Right Fabrics
Fall calls for fabrics that are cozy yet formal. Satin, chiffon, crepe, velvet, and lace are perfect for this season. Velvet gowns or cocktail dresses are ideal for cooler evenings, while lighter fabrics like silk or chiffon work well for daytime weddings. Consider layering with a shawl, wrap, or jacket for outdoor or chilly events - and don’t forget, we can even create custom-made shawls and wraps to perfectly complement your look!

Choosing the Right Style
For guests, midi and maxi dresses are versatile and flattering. Fit and flare silhouettes, wrap dresses, or subtly embellished dresses allow for comfort and style. Long sleeves or lace sleeves are great for cooler temperatures.

For mothers, floor-length gowns or sophisticated knee-length dresses in classic silhouettes like A-lines or sheath are timeless choices. Subtle beading or lace can elevate your look while keeping it elegant.


Consider the Venue & Timing
Your outfit should match the setting. Outdoor venues may require sturdier shoes and layers, while indoor evening weddings allow for more formal gowns. Always check the invitation for dress code - formal, semi-formal, or cocktail - so you can plan accordingly.
