Fall has got it all…the golden light, a brisk cool that calls for cozy, and rich colors that send us swooning. For Florida brides, you can’t beat the season’s temperatures, especially after a sweltering, humid Sunshine State summer.
However, if you’re planning a special fall wedding in a destination known for taking the spotlight during the season (changing leaves, we’re looking at you) then selecting a wedding dress must take careful consideration!
Fall weddings offer beautiful scenery and cooler temperatures, ideal for dresses that blend elegance with comfort. In this post, we share our best tips to get you inspired!
The climate at your destination should guide your fabric choice. For cooler fall locations, opt for dresses in heavier fabrics like satin or velvet, while lighter, breathable fabrics such as chiffon or lace work well in warmer areas.
There really isn’t a playbook for what you must choose for a fall wedding. If you want to wear a blue velvet gown, by all means, express your beautiful self!
However, if you are looking for a place to start when it comes to colors and fabrics, fall-inspired shades like ivory, champagne, and soft earth tones can add warmth to your look. Textures like lace or embroidered details complement autumnal themes beautifully.
Going outdoors into nature? For rustic settings, it might be a good idea to avoid overly long trains, as they may snag on leaves or uneven ground. Consider a dress with a shorter train instead or an A-line silhouette for effortless movement.
There are plenty of styles, fabrics, and accessories to choose from, and your bridal consultant at Love can help guide you through to find perfectly what’s fun and functional.
A fall wedding with cooler temps calls for super fun layering pieces, such as a light shawl, cape, or stylish jacket. You may also want to consider sleeves for added comfort in cooler weather.
If you’re not sure, you can always go for detachable pieces, such as sleeves or long skirts. That way, if you feel too warm, you can remove pieces for a comfortable and refreshing new bridal look.
