15 stylish autumn wedding guest dresses for 2023
Including options from your favourite high-street brands.
With weddings no longer being consigned to summer months, more and more people are now opting for autumn and winter weddings, which we know can really throw up the conundrum of what to wear! Autumn for many of us always leads to us changing our wardrobe colour palettes, so finding a autumn wedding guest dress can be tricky, but we're here to help you find the perfect occasion look.
A stunning autumnal colour palette tends to be full of warm, rich earthy tones such as a beautiful burnt orange, deep yellows, greens and maroon. Although this may be not be everyone's favourite colours, so we've also added in a mixture of blues, pinks and greys that we think would look great this season too.
We have also made sure to include options that can be easily layered up with a chic trench coat or blazer on the special day. The best wedding guest dresses for autumn in our opinion will be stylish, versatile looks that will also have enough coverage on the legs and arms to prevent you from feeling chilly on the big day.
While summer weddings always tend to call for dainty prints, autumn wedding guest dresses can still embrace fun patterns but we suggest opting for darker colours. From classic polka-dots to trendy mix-match designs, we've selected a range of patterns and colour dresses to suit the change in season.
So, whether you're looking for the perfect floral dress or monochrome frock, we've handpicked our favourites from across the high-street that you can order online right now...
