How to pick Autumn bridesmaid dresses 2023
Although you might not expect it, Autumn is a popular time of year for weddings. The schools are back and venues have more availability to book larger groups. It is also a fantastic season from an aesthetic point of view, with fiery reds, earthy browns and deep greens defining the autumn colour palette.
Below you’ll find expert advice from us for picking out bridesmaid dresses that are perfect for autumnal settings.
Autumn bridesmaid dress colours
There are many things we all associate with autumn which are important to keep in mind when looking to buy bridesmaid dresses. Leaves changing colour, cosy nights in, hot drinks, and of course Halloween are all examples that can influence your choice.
Rich colours
As mentioned, autumn brings an exciting new range of colours that translate wonderfully to a bridal party. The traditional palette includes vibrant reds, oranges and yellows which can be stunning. However, these colours are not a requirement for autumn bridesmaid dresses by any means. Green, blue, purple and pink jewel tones can work brilliantly too, so long as they are paired with the right complementary colours.
Fabric choice
As we get further into autumn, especially in certain parts of the UK, temperatures begin to drop. Heavier dress fabrics like satin can add additional insulation to keep your bridal party warm during the event even after the sun goes down.
Venue look
It can be easy to forget to consider the wedding venue when buying bridesmaid dresses, however, this can have just as much impact as the time of year. For example, full length bridesmaid dresses are going to look right at home in a setting with lots of stonework such as a church.
Sleeves
For the same practical reasons as the choice of fabric, dress sleeve length is an important consideration. Longer sleeves will help keep your party warm well into the evening whilst also adding an extra dimension of style. Do note that certain bridesmaid dress styles will be better suited to long sleeves than others.
