FALL WEDDING ; FOR THE FIRST TIME BE THE BEST DRESSED GUEST

FALL WEDDING

FALL WEDDING ATTIRE 

Whenever I think of fall I do not automatically think of a Fall Wedding .While hopefully we have a few weeks of good weather left, fall is quickly coming. In fact I'm writing this post because I recently received a wedding invitation for a wedding this fall. Since we usually think of Summer Weddings , dressing for a Fall Wedding is not so different. Certainly you may need  a wrap or coat.Whatever you wear, wear it well. Hence what I'm writing about here, is how to be the best dressed guest at that wedding.

BEST DRESSED GUEST AT  A FALL WEDDING

Of course being vain we would all like to receive this honor , of  best-dressed guest. However there is only one best dressed guest , excluding of course the wedding party. However being best dressed is also about confidence, personal style,  and superior styling.

For example we were all awed when the lovely Amal Clooney arrived at the Royal Wedding , this past summer. Furthermore, Almal Clooney was arguably the best-dressed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding .

The international human rights lawyer wore a custom, mustard Stella McCartney dress with a matching hat and veil by Stephen Jones. She completed her glamorous look with a gold clutch, heels by Gianvito Rossi and stunning teardrop earrings from Lorraine Schwartz. Although we can't all have the resources of Mrs. Clooney we can still be the best dressed.

HOW TO  DRESS THE PART

How you put across the best dressed image is done with choice of clothing of course. But it's also done with fit, style , poise and appropriateness. For this reason choose a dress that is appropriate, Dress The Part. Therefore a well fitting day dress like Amal's is appropriate for an afternoon wedding. Moreover a hat is also fitting for an afternoon event. While this look would not be appropriate for an evening formal event.

Whenever deciding what to wear, read the invitation carefully. In the first place, the bride tells you what she wants you to wear. For this reason the invitation will say anything from beach wedding to black tie. It's how you interrupt the brides instructions that will make you the best dressed.

Darling's I've chosen some great outfits that are going to set you apart . Therefore whether you are attending the Fall nuptials of Princess Eugenie or any other Fall wedding , you'll be in the running to be the best dressed.

What to Wear to a Daytime Fall Wedding

Daytime weddings are always less formal than evening events. While you won't want to be utterly informal (unless the wedding couple is clear that that's their preference), you won't want to wear a gown or tuxedo. In fall choose darker colored clothing . Since being the best dressed guest is our objective , always take time to style yourself. For example hair, make-up, accessories and an attention to detail . Equally important, there are no hard set rules, except for don't wear white.

 

  • A pretty floral dress
  • Heels, sandals or slingbacks
  • A beautiful hat that coordinates with your outfit

What caught my eye about this Ganni dress , was the 1940's classic cut of the dress. Therefore as accessories I have chosen these classic white thick heeled sandals. In fact if you are a fashion historian or fashion lover it's great to see the inspiration I had  from 1940's style.

Since many may think red is too much for a wedding , in my opinion it can be just enough . Certainly a shawl or wrap in black or another color could break the red and add elegance. Here I love these shoes and beads alike. adding modern and classic to finish this look.

First thing to remember when making that entrance at the fall wedding is first impressions. When you know the chic crowd will be out in full force and you're wanting to say "look at me", choose bold, bright, and fun. Therefore this floral dress is not only bold and colorful , with the faux fur it goes up to another level.

What to Wear to an Evening Black-Tie Optional Fall Wedding

Evening weddings are typically formal events. In some cases, they are very formal, with women in gowns and men in tuxedos. For black-tie optional events, women should avoid beads, sequins, and sparkles; black is appropriate but white is not (as it may be seen as competition for the bride's wedding dress). Furthermore wearing dresses that are too short or overly sexy may not be the best idea.

  • A  cocktail dress; choose moderate or floor length
  • A dressy suit or a cocktail suit
  • Dark, sophisticated colors

In my opinion black is a great look for an evening fall wedding. Surprisingly I don't usually endorse all black but evening wear is a different matter. In fact with this black dress from Cinque A' Sept is a real show stopper. When considering black this bare shoulder number is a nice option, black dresses with sleeves and closed neck say funeral. What is great about choosing a black dress is that you may already have a favorite little black dress, and just need to add accessories.

Attire for an Evening Black-Tie Fall Wedding

Black tie weddings are very formal, and you'll need to  invest in appropriate clothing for the event.  Remember that you'll be dancing, so avoid very tight dresses or shoes that are uncomfortable. In this case it is appropriate to wear beads , sparkles , feathers and more. Furthermore you get few opportunities to dress to the nines, so girls go all out.

  • A formal dress, usually floor-length
  • Accessories such as beaded purses, fancy wraps and formal jewelry
