There’s nothing quite like a cozy fall wedding when the air is crisp and the changing leaves create a glowing backdrop for vow exchanges. Once the bride has said yes to her dream dress, it’s time to start shopping for fall bridesmaid dresses in autumn colors. Whether you are planning on having cohesive matching bridesmaid dresses or a mismatched vibe, leaning into the hues of the season will certainly make for a memorable affair! Warm shades of amber, rust, emerald and plum are some top fall colors—think of the natural colors of fall foliage. Plus, the cooler weather means you can lean into luxe fabrics like jacquard and velvet.
Although certain colors are deemed traditional fall colors, you get to make the rules for your wedding day, and that goes for the wedding dress code and bridesmaid dress colors too. Grace Lee, founder and CEO of Birdy Grey, suggests brides “Don’t feel constrained by ‘typical’ fall styles or colors. If you want a light, airy neutral vibe or a bright neon moment, go for it!”
In a similar vein, if you love bright, light colors, Lee suggests you “dust them up” for fall. Hues like Birdy Grey’s Dusty Rose and Dusty Blue are great choices for a fall wedding. Retailers like Lulus, Reformation, Dessy Group and Kennedy Blue are other great options for bridesmaid dresses and carry a wide range of colors to suit every style. No matter your style, you get to choose bridesmaid dress colors that feel true to your style.
