Autumn is a fairly popular time for weddings; by the way, this season has long been considered the most successful for holding such celebrations. But as everyone knows, the weather in Russia is unpredictable: one minute the sun can be shining, but a few minutes later it’s already raining heavily. Therefore, appearance must be approached carefully. In our material, we have prepared tips on how to create a beautiful image for an autumn bride in order to look stylish, fashionable and not freeze in case of precipitation or even snow.
Dress options
To make it easier to choose an outfit, let's first divide autumn into early and late. After all, the air temperature in September will certainly be different from that in November, and therefore, the newlywed’s dress will also be different. Below we will look at what a girl can wear in any autumn month that interests her.
Early autumn
For the warm season of this season, which occurs in September, and if you are lucky in October, models made of light fabric are suitable. This is:
- Organza is an expensive, transparent, thin fabric that has many advantages: firstly, it is hard to the touch, and therefore holds its shape well, which means it will not wrinkle, and secondly, it looks quite elegant and festive, which is ideal for a wedding, thirdly, very fashionable. Organza is used to make beautiful flounces, frills, ruffles, collars, puffy sleeves, skirts and petticoats.
- Lace is one of the most popular materials among brides today. Delicate openwork patterns can decorate both the entire outfit and its individual parts, for example, the back, bodice, sleeves.
- Natural silk is the most expensive material, in a dress from which you will not feel discomfort, because the skin will breathe. The fabric looks very elegant, its surface is shiny and smooth. In it, every newlywed will feel like a real princess.
- Chiffon and tulle - both fabrics are light, airy and thin, so they will fit perfectly into your look. They are often used to sew some details for a wedding dress, it could be a skirt, train, veil or cape.
As for the variety of models, girls look great at the beginning of autumn:
- in weightless flowing skirts;
- in dresses with floral prints or brightly colored appliqués;
- It’s great to choose a trouser suit or overalls made of light fabric, they are now at the peak of popularity;
- A “two piece” of a top and a long skirt will also work;
- also popular classic straight styles, sexy “Fish” and sophisticated “A-silhouettes” remain in fashion;
- if you are afraid of dirt and slush, then you will probably like short dresses or trendy “Transformers” with a detachable bottom.
Late fall
At the end of October and November, the sun, of course, still shines, but it is unlikely to be warm anymore. So it’s better to warm yourself and choose a dress made of thicker material. Suitable for this role:
- Brocade is a heavy fabric made of silk, on the front side there is a pattern of metallic gold or silver thread. It looks very elegant and festive, and therefore is not cheap.
- Jacquard has long won the love of brides, because for several years it has remained one of the most popular and requested fabrics among newlyweds. This canvas, like the previous one, is decorated with interesting thread patterns. Jacquard outfits look very rich and expensive.
- Satin - this material is made of silk or semi-silk, which is why it is so similar to it, but it is denser, shimmers beautifully and has a smooth front surface. A-line, straight or fluffy models are often sewn from satin, and complemented with lace, organza, and tulle. But it is worth mentioning the disadvantages of this canvas: firstly, it is very tight-fitting to the figure and can reveal its shortcomings, and secondly, it is very expensive.
- Shantung, crepe satin, satin and taffeta are also dense fabrics that are suitable for making wedding dresses for cool weather. They are inferior in cost to the previous ones, especially if they are made from artificial or synthetic materials.
Advice. At the end of autumn, it is appropriate to choose models with sleeves, a collar, a closed top and a closed back.
The color of your dress may not necessarily be white, because at the time of year in question, bright colors look impressive, such as:
- wine;
- burgundy;
- red;
- chocolate;
- yellow;
- orange;
- gold;
- mustard;
- dark green;
- redheads;
- purple;
- eggplant
But if you are a follower of more classic views, then you can complement your image with some of the listed shades and choose a light color for your outfit.
What dress should you not buy for a fall wedding?
Multi-layered and full floor-length tulle skirts are unlikely to be comfortable in the fall. If the bride does not want to “collect dirt,” then it is recommended to refuse this option. Otherwise, she will return from a walk not looking very neat.
A long train is also not appropriate. After a couple of hours it will change color to dirty gray
Another option that is not suitable for damp autumn weather is a dress with a “mermaid” or “fish” silhouette. Despite the fact that the top of such a dress is comfortable and elegant, the bottom is not comfortable in the slush. If you don’t want to come back after a walk with a dirty hem and spend the rest of the formal part and celebration like that, then you should refuse a dress of this type .

Makeup
Autumn makeup is best done in warm peach and golden tones, in bright and natural shades of autumn. This will allow you to look fresh and natural even in gloomy weather. A great option would be bright lips - an accent that is so necessary for an autumn look. Choose interesting shades of sangria, ripe cherry and burgundy. At the same time, you should not make your eyes too dark to maintain the lightness of the image. Otherwise, the main thing is to adhere to the basic rule - natural and natural.
Let's keep warm
If in September you still have the opportunity to show off in a wedding dress and not hide it behind your outerwear, then at the end of autumn you are unlikely to succeed. Therefore, let's look at suitable options for a newlywed that will help to stay warm in case of cool weather.
Bolero
The most popular accessory that you can easily find in almost any wedding salon. For an autumn celebration, a bolero made of thick fabric, natural or faux fur, knitted or made of swan down will suit you. It is usually supplemented with: lace, a hood, sleeves of different lengths.
Jacket
It’s great to choose a velvet or cashmere jacket. It can be shortened or, conversely, lengthened, everything will depend on the bride’s figure and the chosen outfit.
Cape
Capes have become especially popular in recent years. Most often, this accessory is made of fur, knitted, lace, short or long.
Shawl
An alternative to the previous option would be a beautiful scarf, a fashionable stole, or a down or knitted shawl.
An excellent choice for a “Russian folk wedding”.
Sweater
It’s a great idea to use such a seemingly simple thing on your wedding day. After all, every girl probably has a knitted blouse or sweater in her wardrobe. Absolutely any color is possible - bright, it will add color, and light, it will fit perfectly into the image.
Cardigan
Another everyday item that has become especially fashionable lately. An elongated knitted or cashmere cardigan will easily warm the newlywed and will perfectly complement her autumn look.
Jean jacket
Those who love comfort, convenience and informal style will like a regular denim jacket. It will add some zest and will warm you up perfectly in September.
Leather Jacket
More daring ladies will like a leather jacket. It is appropriate to complement it with a hat, leather boots or cowboy boots. It will look interesting with both a short dress and a long one.
Coat
A warmer option, which will be just right for the end of October and November. Newlyweds who prefer classics and austerity in appearance will especially like it.
Take your time to run to the store and look for a white coat. If you already have such a thing in your wardrobe, then it is better to use it by adding other items of a similar color.
Shawl, scarf, stole
A scarf, shawl or stole will also help keep you warm and complement your bridal look. Depending on the wedding style and your preferences, you can choose an elegant shawl or a knitted cape.
Plain or checkered, bright or pastel - such accessories will look equally good and more than appropriate against the backdrop of autumn landscapes.
Hairstyle
In the fall, it may rain or snow, as well as strong winds, so if you are afraid that your hairstyle will quickly become disheveled due to humidity, then it is better to give preference to more collected hairstyles. A high or low bun, ponytail and complex weaving will cope with this task perfectly.
The best styling decoration for this time of year is undoubtedly flowers, leaves and even berries. A lush, voluminous wreath will be a chic addition to your look. For a classic style, always relevant:
- tiaras;
- headbands;
- veils;
- hairpins;
- combs and so on.
Features of autumn weddings
The main advantage of the autumn celebration is the absence of heat. Nature plays with different colors at this time of year, which makes it possible to create vivid photographs.
The downside is the unpredictability of the weather. Therefore, newlyweds and guests need to carefully think through their image for the celebration. If the wedding is not planned at the beginning of September, then you additionally need to think about insulation, what shoes to choose, the style and length of the dress.
You will have to think through not only your own image, but also the entire celebration. Choose a closed room, be sure to invite the toastmaster, think through competitions, refreshments and decoration of the banquet hall.
Various signs will help you predict the weather at this time of year:
- A large white cloud can be seen in the sky, which means that the coming days will not be characterized by good weather.
- A golden order has appeared, you can throw away jackets and jackets, the weather will be warm.
- The leaves are in no hurry to turn yellow and fall, which means the days will be warm. Frosts are not expected, and the winter will pass without severe frosts.
- If the leaves on the viburnum are green and there are berries on it, then you can expect warm weather in the autumn months.
Taking into account all the weather conditions in autumn, the bride will have to choose her outfit. You will have to take care not only of beauty, but also of health.
Bouquet
A bouquet for autumn usually includes the following shades:
- red – burgundy, cranberry, wine;
- yellow – orange, lemon, golden, sand;
- violet - purple, lilac;
- brown – chocolate, almond, caramel, mustard.
You can make it up from seasonal flowers, these include: asters, dahlias, hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, sunflowers, ranunculus, marigolds. Or from plants available all year round: roses, orchids, gerberas.
Often, during the season in question, bouquets are supplemented with acorns, dried herbs, ears of wheat, berries, and large maple leaves.
An interesting trick is to make a bouquet of seasonal vegetables and fruits or add them to flowers. A small pumpkin, cabbage, carrots, grapes, pomegranates or small apples will do.
Wedding sport
What you definitely haven't seen before is wedding tracksuits. If this option is too much for you for an official appearance, then the bride can wear this outfit for the evening or on another wedding day.
Showing legs
The Angelina Jolie-style slit isn't a new thing in the bridal world, but this season's designers have literally taken it up a notch. Bold images for brave girls who have something to show.
Minimalism
Modern brides are increasingly abandoning voluminous dresses with tulle and crinoline, and are moving towards minimalism.
This trend is well observed at the shows from Paris Fashion Week. Model Margaret Qualley (daughter of the famous American actress Andie MacDowell) closed the Chanel show in a laconic ivory wedding dress. The creative director of the Balenciaga brand, Demna Gvasalia, also chose a minimalist style for the wedding look in his first couture collection. The designer presented the public with a white dress made of silk satin and gazar, completely covered with a massive veil.

Emphasis on the corset
It feels like bridal designers everywhere saw the Moulin Rouge on Broadway and were inspired. Corsets and underwire cups have been all over the runways this season, resulting in an incredibly sexy lingerie-style silhouette that's appealing to even timid brides.
