It’s wedding season! Chances are you’ve already attended a slew of spring and summer wedding bashes, but as they say in sports, “It’s not over until it’s over.” September and October serve as the bookends for a season that starts in late May. It may sound biased, but we see why people wait!
Early fall is a beautiful time to host a wedding, especially an outdoor one with views, trees and colors. Knowing what to wear to a fall wedding, however, is challenging; the weather is never consistent and who knows how much time you’ll spend outside! Plus, fall is the beginning of cozy season, so you want to wear something that fits the agenda (without looking like it fits the agenda, if you know what we mean).
Don’t worry — we’re in the same boat! We all want comfy and classy outfits that make Us feel like we’re lounging while we enjoy the champagne toast and break it down on the dance floor. And with the current offerings at retailers like Amazon, Nordstrom and Walmart, this dream is actually possible!
Read on to see the dresses you won’t want to do wedding season without. Cheers!
