--Guest Post By Grace

Fall weddings can be a lot of fun and you want to look your best. Your loved ones are tying the knot and they sure expect you to look great. How do you choose a dress that covers the weather and still makes you look chic and glamorous? Don’t forget, weddings are all about great food and lovely dresses and of course two people about to say “I do”. Lets look at some classic options that will definitely do the trick for you and make memorable day of that fall wedding you plan to attend.

The Formal Gown
There are few dress options that will look as elegant, yet sexy as a carefully chosen full length formal evening gown. The length of the dress does not make it any less attractive. You can dabble with the shoulder, neck, patterns, finishes and embellishments. Though a short dress is very tempting and you wait for every occasion to get into it, a full length gown is more suitable for a formal or black tie fall wedding. The most suitable shades for a formal gown to be worn at a fall wedding will likely be deep and classy like blacks and blue.

The Cocktail Dress
Not all of you may have or like a long evening gown. No problem, you can look just as fine and classy in a nice cocktail dress. The cocktail dress comes with a wide variety of offerings and you must choose something to suit the event. A ballerina style or tea length dress should be just the perfect style for a fall wedding. Go for designs and patterns, but try sticking to more sober colors than vibrant. This shall help you blend in with all the rather formally dressed people and yet stand out with a ring of brightness in your style.

The Bright Party Dress
Some fall weddings are more formal than others. For the less formal type you can happily wear a spirited, vibrant party dress. You can choose from your favorite reds and purples, greens and oranges but do not go overboard and keep it simple in the cut. If you decide to go loud with the shade make sure you balance it out with the length. Some amount of formal touch needs to be present in your choice of wedding dress at all times.

The Classic Suit
Do not underestimate the potential of a nicely cut, snug classic suit to make you look stunningly sophisticated at a fall wedding. Make sure your suit has some styling and is not a plain-jane office variety. You can experiment with different light colors and textured fabrics. Lighten up if it’s a daytime wedding but keep it warm for the nights. Team up your classy suit with an awesome pair of stilettos to go for the kill. This combo is guaranteed to make heads turn and get you a good share of compliments at the wedding. What more can a lady ask for?

Dress Warm
Lastly, remember to dress warm. Sometimes we go overboard with the excitement involved and forget how harsh the weather can be at a fall wedding. You don’t want to be sneezing at the event or return home with a cold. Just remembering to carry your hats and coats will do the job. Don’t worry too much but make sure you have something warm on you or even with you to keep you safe from the winter chill. You might not want to ruin your dressy look with sweaters and shawls, but a tastefully selected jacket never caused any style harm.
