20 Fall Wedding Guest & Bridal Party Outfits for 2022

As a former October bride (see my Autumn wedding on the Washington Coast), I didn't want the weather of the season to weigh down my wedding guests’ style! My hope was for every one of my guests and bridesmaids is to feel fun and stylish. That means, even if they have to throw on a jacket as the cold of Autumn evening sets in.

With the resurgence of unique looks for the bride, like bridal pantsuits, cut-out elements and flowing sleeves, wedding guest style should be playful and just as fabulous! As a wedding guest, embrace the elements of what you already love wearing.

Our favorite trends of the season include wrap dresses, neutral prints, jumpsuits, two-piece ensembles, and even more glam versions of bridesmaid gowns. This list is your go-to for Setpember, October and November wedding guest shopping. These ensembles are wedding-appropriate yet modern and fun to wear as a wedding guest, or even as a bridesmaid this fall!

Wrap Dresses

Wrap dresses have that “dressed up but not overdone” feeling. They’re a dress with duality. Make it fancy or keep it a little more casual when the occasion calls for it. Grab a slick clutch and you’re wedding guest ready. Swap out your fancy heels for a pair of boots and you’re ready for an evening out.

Jumpsuits

This is one of our favorite trends! And, it’s for everyone. Jumpsuits look put together without the need to accessorize. (But please, adorn yourself in jewelry as you see fit!) Make a statement with zero fuss. Pair with a bold shoe and you look composed without overthinking the details.

Neutral Florals

For Fall, I’m the first to admit I’m a huge fan of subdued, neutral tones. But, if you want to rock something a little more playful, then a floral pattern at a wedding is the perfect combination. Weddings are the happiest occasions, so sporting a happy floral print only makes the celebrating easier. Plus, the photos will look even more cheerful!

Inspired by the bridesmaid styles of long flowing dresses with simple details, these gowns can do double duty as a bridesmaid or a wedding guest look. They’re a little more sophisticated than traditional bridesmaid dresses but still play by the rules.
