However, planning a wedding during this season comes with its own unique challenges, especially when it comes to attire and decorations. But fear not! We've got you covered with a comprehensive breakdown of the best ideas, outfits, accessories, and decorations to ensure your big day reflects your style and the beauty of Autumn.
Quick Tips Casual Weddings It’s best to prioritize comfort since you aren’t required to wear something overly formal. A floral midi paired with dress sandals or an autumn-inspired jumpsuit with a low block heel would do the trick. For men, we recommend a button-up shirt and a sports jacket. You can also go for jackets with chinos or a reconstructed two- or three-piece suit minus the tie. Semi-Formal Weddings A man’s attire would best consist of a darker-hued suit, especially for evening events. You can get creative with navy blue, burgundy, or brown. For women, a typical cocktail dress that is knee- or tea-length would look best. Opting for lighter colors such as mauve or dusty blue if it's a daytime event would be a great idea. Darker jewel tones, such as emerald or amethyst, would be best for evening weddings. Formal Weddings You don’t really need to go for fall prints and patterns when it comes to formal occasions. It’s best to stick with a suit or dress that has a darker, solid-colored hue. You can go for simple styles and silhouettes like crepe or slip dresses. For the men, we recommend pairing black dress shoes with a dark suit, while a tuxedo would look best if it’s a black-tie affair. Just avoid bright colors, sports coats that are way too casual-looking, or flashy accessories. You can also opt for less subtle options such as burgundy, teal, or navy dinner jackets in velvet or tonal patterns and pair them with black tuxedo pants. Be Prepared for Chilly Weather If you're attending an outdoor fall wedding, the cool temperatures demand a bit of extra planning in your attire. Opt for versatility by dressing in layers. Consider wearing a stylish cropped blazer, a chic bolero, or a dressy pashmina that complements your outfit. These pieces not only add a touch of elegance but also provide warmth when needed, allowing you to adjust your outfit throughout the day as the temperature fluctuates. Pay attention to the time that the wedding will be taking place. If it’s during the evening, you might want to have a little something that will keep you warm, especially if it’s partially or fully outdoors. A scarf or a pair of gloves might be your saving grace from the cold weather. You can also go for heavier-weight fabrics, such as wool, cashmere, or tweed, just in case you’ll be wearing a suit. Consider the Venue Experience the allure of a mountain wedding in the fall with the perfect companions: faux fur jackets! As the temperatures drop with the setting sun, be prepared by adding an overcoat, scarf, and gloves to your ensemble. These cozy accessories will keep you warm while ensuring you look stunning amid the breathtaking mountain scenery. For a rustic vibe at a barn or garden wedding, opt for a more casual look. Men can rock a solid tweed suit paired with stylish brogues to perfectly complement the rustic atmosphere. Embrace the charm of the setting while staying comfortably chic. When attending a wedding in a place of worship or a church, it's essential to choose respectful outfit choices. Avoid off-the-shoulder styles, short skirts, and plunging necklines, as they might not be appropriate for the setting. Instead, play around with brighter fall colors like marigolds and fuchsia to add a vibrant touch. Opt for pants or a skirt that falls below the knee for a sophisticated look. Wearing a cover-up is also a great idea, allowing you to conceal a strapless or off-the-shoulder look during the ceremony and reveal it later at the reception. For the Groom Suit Pins One of the most charming ways to add a personal touch to the groom's suit is by incorporating a stylish lapel pin. As the groom's suit is often customized to their liking, a lapel pin can be the perfect finishing touch to complete the ensemble. For a wide selection of options to match any style, we recommend the Panfanrel Flower Lapel Pins collection, which offers an impressive array of 16 various colors.
