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.
SANS FAFF
Half Moon Evening Dress
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.
Line & Dot
Vestido Dalton
Reformation
Tripoli Dress
The definition of a fall wedding guest dress if you ask me.
Anna October
Carla Midi Dress
Out of all the stunning dresses I have listed here, this brown Anna October one is truly showstopping. I mean, wow.
NICHOLAS
Ellie Midi Gold Bead Dress
I love the idea of wearing this to a fall winery wedding.
I have this dress, and it looks so pretty on. Plus, I love the under-$100 price tag.
The perfect dress to wear to a fashion person's wedding.
Zw Collection
Lace Slip Dress
Okay, I really like this one.
ZARA
Textured Floral Midi Dress

Wear this to your friend's wedding that's really just a giant party.

Satin Effect Open Back Dress
HOUSE OF CB

This gown is this close to selling out completely. I'd move fast.
A showstopper from Staud.
This pretty drop-waist dress also comes in black, but I like the rust orange for a fall wedding.

I'm shook this dress is only $88.
Another more casual option.
