Pop’s Guide to Fall Wedding Attire

Fall wedding season is upon us! We’ve got a busy couple of months ahead, and I’m sure your dance card is full too. With a wide range of dress codes and climates to accommodate, finding the perfect dress can feel like a headache. Whether you’re a bride-to-be hoping to put your bridesmaids in the perfect palette, a mother of the groom wanting to look and feel your best for the big day, or a guest trying to figure out the correct attire, we’ve got you covered (literally!) with our fall favorites!

Fall Color Inspo

We love a fall wedding — the temperatures cool off a bit, the leaves begin to change, and the fashion world is awash with fabulous new trends to try. From florals to jewel tones, the fall aesthetic is a gorgeous combo of bright summer hues and cool winter tones. We encourage you to lean into bold patterns and statement colors that will make your photos pop!

Fall Bridesmaids’ Attire

A fall wedding is a fantastic opportunity to lean into the more saturated colors on your mood board. Experiment with complementary colors, gradients, and mixing patterns and solids! Here are some of our favorite fall bridesmaid looks from past weddings.

Fall Mother of the Bride/Groom Attire

Bridesmaids aren’t the only ones who can get creative. Browse any “mother of the bride” section of a brand and you’ll be inundated with the same uninspired skirt and jacket sets. If you’re a mom (or grandma!) with a keen fashion sense, show it off! Our advice? Remove “mother of the bride” from your search altogether and look for formal or black tie gowns that flatter you and make you feel amazing.

Fall Wedding Guest Attire

When it comes to wedding guest attire, it’s rarely cut-and-dry. What worked for a formal wedding in May may not work for a black tie wedding in October. Adhering to the dress code is of the utmost importance, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with it! We’ve seen pretty much every dress code under the sun, but many of our fall weddings tend towards similar themes. Here’s a handy visual guide to help you pick the perfect outfit.

We often associate “fun” colors with spring and summer, but fall is a great time to embrace bold colors and lean into fun patterns. Check out our Instagram and website for more inspiration!

Molly Rasmussen and Emily Millar of Pop Parties working a fall wedding

Exceeded all of my

very high

expectations

The entire Pop Parties team is the most organized, communicative, and on-it team I have encountered Their response time is unbelievable and made my entire wedding day stress-free. Not one detail was missed, and the wedding was the most beautiful and fun evening. They maintained professionalism, while also feeling like a close friend through the entire process. I could not recommend them enough.
