While many of us think of spring and summer as wedding season, many couples are leaning into the idea of having their nuptials during the fall months. With fall ceremonies becoming more of the norm, good wedding guest dresses are in high demand. This is where I come in. As your trusted shopping-editor friend. I have already done the heavy lifting for you and spent hours scrolling through our favorite trusted retailers for the fall wedding guest dresses that will guarantee you a spot on the best dressed guest list, from a stunning satin-and-velvet dress from Anna October that I haven't been able to stop thinking about to a few under-$100 picks from brands like Zara and Lioness that don't sacrifice style.
Keep scrolling to see the 30 chic dresses I'm recommending for a fall wedding. You can thank me later.
If you haven't started shopping Sans Faff yet, I'm not sure what's stopping you. Think chic, classic, and well-made pieces you can mix and match with other Sans Faff pieces and your own closet. I'd wear this dress to a black-tie fall wedding for sure.
