What to wear to an autumn wedding? 5 rules and ready-made ideas

Short answer: for an autumn wedding, a midi or maxi dress in a textured fabric (lace, bouclé, lined mesh) works best – with sleeves or an extra layer, in a colour that doesn't compete with the bride.

5 rules for choosing a dress for an autumn wedding

1. Length: midi or maxi

Autumn evenings are cool and weddings last until morning. A longer dress is more comfortable and looks more elegant.

2. Textured fabric

3D lace, bouclé or lined mesh look beautiful in evening light and are warmer than thin linen.

3. Sleeves or a layer

Long sleeves, 7/8 sleeves or a set with a jacket work well in church and on a chilly evening.

4. Colour

Avoid white and cream – those are the bride's colours. In autumn, colourful prints and warm shades look great. Black is increasingly accepted at an evening reception, but if you don't know the couple's preferences, choose another colour.

5. Comfort until morning

Choose a stretch fabric or a looser cut, and check the size guide before you buy.
