However, for the sake of the theme of conversion, we’ll only discuss, in short, the trends that are perfect for a fall wedding. One of the hottest trends in 2022, specifically for bridesmaids’ dresses, is jewel-toned dresses! The reason why we love a jewel-toned group of bridesmaids is that it fits autumn perfectly! One of the best things about these dresses is that they capture the fuzzy emotion of the season. These dresses look retro and have a velvet-like vibe. Ruby, emerald green, garnet, or sapphire colors would look the best! Another trend for 2022 wedding dresses is the mix-and-match or “mismatched” bridesmaid dresses! You can use this trend to match the fall-esque style and make the wedding look of your bridesmaids look stunningly perfect. Another amazing trend we’re loving is the lace mesh bridesmaid dresses with beautiful skirts to match, David’s Bridal’s Graceful Bridesmaid Collection is a great example of this trend. These dresses have the perfect style for a fall wedding and are just right for outdoor weddings. Another trend that we’re loving is the “cottagecore bridesmaid dresses” The only reason why we love cottagecore bridesmaid dresses for fall weddings is that these are fresh and brilliant. Obviously, if you’re careful with the pattern and color choices, it’ll work impressively well with your wedding ideas and color choices. Before we jump into the options, remember that the choice of colors for the dresses will be imperative to build the fall wedding vibe.
Autumnal Bridesmaid Dresses Your Bridesmaids will Look Mesmerizing In!
Now that we have the trends out of the way, let’s talk about some amazing dresses that will make your autumn wedding just perfect. Along with that, we’ll throw in some ideas and inspiration as well!
Black Bridesmaid Dresses: Relaxed or Fluffy, You Decide!
Fall is a season of the strange, dark, and mysterious, Halloween being one of the most fun times during the season. If you’re looking to add amazing fall-esque style to your wedding, then the best idea is to use one of the most notable colors throughout the season! Black is commonly associated with Halloween, so it only makes sense for you to think about the black bridesmaid dresses as your perfect choice for any fall-inspired wedding! However, there’s a catch. When you’re thinking of black bridesmaid dresses in fall, then any fabric would work. But, if you’re thinking of asking your bridesmaids to don black dresses, then as we discussed before, you should look for jewel-toned bridesmaid dresses or you can use the brilliant velvet-style bridesmaid dresses! Both of these options are retro, and chic, and bring the fall vibe right to your doorstep.
For your wedding, black bridesmaid dresses will help you elevate the wedding decor. These kinds of bridesmaid dresses work exceptionally well for any kind of fall-inspired wedding decor. A jewel-toned or velvet wedding dress will marry the decor ideas amazingly. To add more style to the black bridesmaid dresses, you can add hair accessories, or have your bridesmaids wear some amazing neck jewelry. You can have the bridesmaids look into relaxed fits if you’re throwing an outdoor wedding, or you can have your girls dress in party-esque dresses, or with a side slit if you’re throwing a black-tie-like affair in an indoor wedding venue. Also, depending on the theme of your wedding, you can even choose black printed bridesmaids.
- Tulle Bridesmaid Dresses: Velvet, Satin, Mesh, the Choices are Limitless!
If you’re looking to add some amazing touches to your wedding, how about choosing a style that will make your bridesmaids look fresh and wonderful. Although everything about a wedding is fresh and beautiful, nothing comes close to elegant off-shoulder tulle dresses! Now, these dresses could have a lace, mesh, satin, or velvet bodice of the dress, and still look right at home with your fall wedding ideas, decor, and inspiration. Tulle bridesmaid dresses are just perfect for any kind of wedding and any style. What’s more, you can even have the flower girls wear similar dresses!
Of course, as it is with every kind of bridesmaid dress for fall weddings or fall-inspired weddings, the color will be important. Since tulle dresses are cute and youthful, choosing tones or colors that scream “fall!” but are not “too bold” will help. For example, coral, taupe, mustard yellow, Mediterranean green, or peach will look just perfect. What’s more, you can add charming touches to your bridesmaids’ dress details by adding some floral details. You can also have your bridesmaids wear woven flowers in their hair.
- Green Bridesmaid Dresses: Perfect in Different Shades of Green
If you’re looking to add some extra style and color to your fall wedding or fall-inspired wedding, then there’s nothing better than using different shades of green. In our opinion, the darker shades of green are a better match for the wonderful fall festivities. Of all the darker shades, we truly love emerald green. Jewel-toned emerald green bridesmaid dresses are just perfect, especially if you’re looking for a classy, retro-themed wedding! You can have a stylish satin dress with a slit, off-shoulder dresses with a sweetheart neckline, intricately designed lace dresses, or a beautiful satin midi dress for your bridesmaids! Another dress that we love seeing in deep green tones is the beautiful wrap-around dress! Can you imagine your bridesmaids wearing deep green dresses, dressed to nines on your wedding day?
A great way to add more style to your wedding is by adding some synchronicity to your wedding. Obviously, your wedding gown will be different from your girl crew. But that doesn’t mean you can’t try and match accessories, or your footwear! You can easily choose the same color for your wedding footwear! If you’re a bride who loves going big on hair accessories, you can have the bridesmaids choose some hair accessories to match each other, and ultimately match your style.
- Bright Like a Sunflower: Yellow Tones for Bright Bridesmaids
Yellow bridesmaid dresses are quite popular and are a hot trend for 2022. However, if you’re looking to use yellow bridesmaid dresses for your fall weddings, you’ll need to pay attention to the color and the tonality of the color. A great way to use yellow and add a fresh touch of style to your wedding is to pair this idea with an amazing trend of “mix and match” bridesmaid dresses. Yellow looks perfect for fall weddings with dark wedding themes. The color will add much-needed brightness to your wedding. Usually, fall weddings are a blend of darker tones, and may have velvet details to the wedding, which is why a yellow bridesmaid dress would be just perfect.
What’s more, as a nod to your bridesmaids’ dresses, you can have some extra details added to your wedding decor. For example, if you have floral decor with deep and darker shades of red, you can smaller flowers, yellow of course, to make it look perfect. This will help you to add yellow in a dark color palette, which will help you to make the color of your bridesmaids’ dresses look at home with the wedding details.
- Chic White: Bridal Gang Got It Right!
One of the best ways to add a stylish touch to your fall weddings is to match the vibe. As wedding planning is all about ensuring colors go well with each other and the details are all tied up. In other words, a wedding is about matching the colors and keeping things on track with a beautiful color palette. Synchronization plays a key role in weddings. Since that is true, why not take it up a notch? Instead of just synchronizing the details and colors of your wedding day decor, how about twinning with your bridesmaids? White bridesmaids and brides are a thing, and we absolutely love it!
We’re a little biased with this idea, and rightfully so. We’ve all seen grooms and groomsmen dressed in similar or the same suits, right? What’s stopping you from doing the same with your girls? The bridal gang should look perfect and should be iconic, and there’s no better way to do that than seeing a group of women dressed in a similar dress and all of them in white! What’s more, white, much like black, is a universal color. No matter when you throw the wedding, no matter what the wedding theme is, it will look just right and perfect for your wedding.
- Cream Beauties: A Great Choice
If you’re not a fan of your bridesmaids wearing white, then we have another idea for you! Instead of having your bridesmaids wear white, you can have them wear cream dresses! What we love the most about cream bridesmaid dresses is simple, it is the perfect match to the white wedding dress! What we like the most is that styling a cream bridesmaid dress is super easy as well. You can add a romantic touch to the cream bridesmaid dresses by adding some red or ruby-esque details to the bridesmaid bouquets and accessories. Another way to make your bridesmaids look chic in cream is to have them wear cream bridesmaid dresses and choose bold red or deep red heels to go with the dress. What’s more, you can have your bridesmaids look perfect with bold bridesmaid makeup!
Another reason to love the cream bridesmaid dresses is that these are perfect for any wedding theme color palette. Unlike other colors, cream and white are balancing colors, which gives these colors the ability to look just right with any color. What’s more, white and cream can actually help you to elevate the color palette better. So, whether you’re throwing a wedding in deep, dark shades or you’re throwing a wedding dressed in pastel colors, white and cream will be a great choice for bridesmaid dresses! Also, you don’t have to sweat or worry about the bridesmaid dress’ styles. Instead, you can let your bridesmaids decide what kind of dress they’d like and choose from it. Because, as we said, cream looks great with everything!
Tweak the Idea: More Options
One of the best ways to keep your wedding’s style on a higher tone is to come up with ideas that work in your favor without limiting you. For example, the cream color can be mundane if you use it in a similar fashion. So, instead of having each other, your bridesmaids wear the same dress, go for a mismatched bridesmaid gang! You can communicate the choice of color to your bridesmaids, and have them choose a dress completely different from the other bridesmaids to throw a wedding in style! If you’re looking for an uber-modern bridesmaid dress inspiration, how about ditching the dress entirely and going ahead with chic two-piece outfits? This will help you do something unique and fun!
- Cottagecore: Add a Hint of Floral Touches to your Wedding
Instead of sticking to the regular “autumnal” style, how about switching it up a little? One of the best ways to invite colors, the emotion of the season, and style is to do something different that looks like a great part of your ensemble. So, let’s end the list of dresses we love with an unpopular opinion that if used correctly, will take your guests away! Cottagecore weddings and dresses are the rave these days and are usually used in summer. However, if you’re careful with the color and the print of the dresses, you’ll make them work for your wedding day and party! So, here’s what you need to do, look for leafy prints. Look for ruffled sleeves with long skirts, and pair them with beautiful boots, hats, or both! You can also have tiny ferns sticking out of the sides of the hat bands so that it looks fall-inspired.
Bonus Idea: Add a Jacket (Leather Works Too) to the Dress.
Want a different, unique, and stylish take on fall weddings? Well, let's think out of the box, shall we? A great way to add some pizzazz to your beautiful fall wedding would be to have a delicate dress and a bold jacket on top. For example, if you love the idea of mismatched bridesmaids’ dresses, but want your bridesmaids to look alike you can try this out! You can pick out a jacket, and ask all of your bridesmaids to wear that! What’s more, you should consider customizing the jackets so that your bridesmaids can wear them later, in different ways as well. The best way to customize the inner lining of the jacket. However, you can also choose to have denim jackets for your bridesmaids, and add an elaborate design in the front or at the bottom, near the hem of the jacket to make it look memorable, without adding big designs or words that will not allow the jacket to be worn in other situations. The jacket can be a favor from you, with the bridesmaid gifts that you choose for your best girls, you can add these jackets as well!
Wondering who pays for the bridesmaids’ dresses, then the general rule is that the bride covers the expenses. However, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly wedding, then discuss that with your partner first and then tell your bridesmaids about it. Let your bridesmaids know of money matters and what you’ve decided. Other than this, if you can, you should cover some expenses or portions of the bridesmaid dresses. That said, we hope that the ideas above help you to figure out what you’d want your bridesmaids to wear at your wedding. What’s more, you can create a swatchboard to check if your wedding color scheme goes well with your bridesmaids’ dresses.
