Where are we shopping for the cool girl autumn wedding guest dress?
I know you said you want to rewear but I’m obsessed with using Nuuly or Rent the Runway for big events bc then it feels new/special (for RtR I like getting the subscription vs renting one dress so you can have backup options! Plus something new for welcome drinks or goodby brunch at a wedding) More on reddit.com

Dress recommendations for a Fall, Semi-Formal wedding?
Many couples are not familiar with dress codes at all, so sometimes they have no idea what they are actually asking for. Often they think semi formal is one step below formal , but it is not. Cocktail is closest to formal, then semi-formal. Semi formal does not require a floor length dress. 1. Semi-Formal or Dressy Casual Part of dressing for a semi-formal , or dressy casual, wedding is paying close attention to when the ceremony will take place. For evening events, darker, more formal colors are best, whereas light hues and airy fabrics are preferred for daytime affairs. Women can wear below-the-knee dresses, slip dresses, a dressy skirt and top, or an elegant pantsuit (styled with heels, nice wedges, or formal flats). 2. Semi-formal wedding attire may seem like one of the trickier wedding guest dress codes to nail. And, since cocktail and semi-formal wedding attire can sometimes be used interchangeably, you might feel confused when it's time to pick an outfit. "Semi-formal falls in the gray area between casual and formal," says Coleman. "However, cocktail attire tends to be a little more dressy than semi-formal." So, what do you wear to a semi-formal wedding? "Some ideas include a midi dress, a chic jumpsuit, or a wrap dress," Coleman continues. "For cocktail attire, stick to a structured dress or a sleek black dress—you can never go wrong with an LBD." Embellishments and additional features on an outfit can also help differentiate cocktail attire from semi-formal wedding attire. "A dress for a semi-formal wedding might not include any sort of beading or statement accessories," says Durham. I would look for a midi dress, what your MOH friend calls close to floor length.

Fall Wedding Guest Dress

Both look good in pictures here. Go with your instincts if you think the first one looks cheap in person. Cobalt blue is a lovely color (especially with shoes in a different color: nude-to-you, metallic, black, pop of contrasting different color). Only you can decide if you like how it shows your body.

Bitches… this is my first wedding invitation and first formal attire event my boyfriend and I are attending (meaning we will finally have pictures of us all dolled up and somewhere nice). I’m going for the effortlessly cool and unique dress maybe jewel toned/dark/burnt colors and patterns with gold shoes/jewelry. The venue is a vineyard and it will be mid-October and I need some help looking for places to shop for this dress. My budget is like $200 or lower but I really want a high quality well fitted garment that I can rewear to other formal occasions. If you have any recommendations please let me know!!! Thank you!

May 20, 2021 - Depends where this wedding is. Fall here in VA is like 80 degrees so maxi sundresses still go 100% but fall in like VT would be cold as heck in November. I say go with the weather, and yes, long dresses are totally appropriate for wedding guests!

August 11, 2025 -

I’m struggling to find a dress for a wedding coming up in late October. The dress code is Semi-Formal, and unfortunately that’s all that their wedding page says. I asked my friend who is the brides maid of honor, and she said “it should be floor length or close to it, but nothing crazy”. So that’s all I have to go on. I know it will be in a 1930’s train station, so it seems that the environment will be a bit moody when it gets dark. So maybe something of a darker color, like a maroon. As for what I would like in a dress, I have a bit of a tummy, so nothing too skin tight, although I can wear shape-wear. Don’t want to cover my chest entirely, but I also don’t want it to be too much. I’m also 5’3, so hopefully something that would help me look a little taller with heels lol. Any help is appreciated!

Late October in a moody old train station sounds so pretty. i’d lean into a darker jewel tone like maroon, deep green, or navy in a soft fabric like satin or chiffon with a flowy skirt. for something tummy-friendly and flattering for your height, I’d suggest an empire waist or a defined waist with an A-line or bias-cut skirt. a v-neck or square neck would be gr⁤eat to balance the chest without feeling too exposed. since you’re 5’3, definitely use petite filters if you’re shopping online so floor-length doesn’t turn into a tripping hazard. I’m around your height and shape, and i ended up renting a couple of options from R⁤ent the Runway for a similar fall wedding. it was nice to try out different silhouettes without having to commit to buying something i’d only wear once.
