Fall is a beautiful time to attend a wedding! The weather is usually a little more reasonable, the colors are amazing and the style opportunities are plentiful. I created two style boards featuring inspiration for three different wedding attires.
Backyard – Recently there have been more couples opting for intimate settings with fewer people, such as a backyard or a resort. This can be more casual, but I recommend taking your cues from the invitation and the couple when deciding on your wedding guest look.
Cocktail – If we are looking at these on a scale, cocktail attire would be dressier than casual, but not as formal as black tie. This leaves a little more room for men on their suit choice and women on the length of dress and overall style.
Black Tie – This would be the second most formal on the “wedding guest attire scale” with white tie being at the top. Black tie attire calls for men in tuxes and women in long dresses or formal pantsuits.
Let’s start with the women’s board:

I was tempted to fill this style board with this dark green hue! There are so many beautiful dress options and it is the BEST fall color. It pairs nicely with black so you can do a black or neutral color shoe. I added a black drop earring and gold bracelet. I added a pattern in the clutch! This is a fun way to dress for cocktail attire.
I chose this patterned midi dress for the backyard look and kept the shoe a neutral color. You could do a heel or a flat shoe with this look. I love the natural crossbody bag with this dress and it is a good option if you prefer a bag with a strap.
Finally, the absolutely amazing black tie look! A wrap-style in another deep fall hue. I would complete this look with a statement earring and ring like the one I show on the board.
Here are a few other options I came across while shopping for this style board.
Now for the men’s board, click on the image or here to see more:
Starting with a stunning blue suit for the cocktail look. Have fun and express your personal style with accessories like cuff links, a tie or pocket square, and a watch.
I really likes this tweed suit for the more casual look of the backyard setting. The Forest Green leans fall and I paired it with dressier suede boots and a contrasting pocket square.
Finally, the tuxedo for black tie. The fit will be key, so make sure you get it tailored just for you! Here are a few other options I found while creating this board:
