Fall 2024 Bridal: Everything You Need to Know

As we transition from summer to fall, fashion changes with the weather. This even applies to bridal fashion. Whether you’re a bride, the mother of the bride or groom, or a guest at a wedding, you’re going to want to stay up to date with what is in so you can be dressed to the nines at every wedding you go to this fall. We’re sharing the best of fall 2024 bridal fashion. 

The Bride

Traditional and experimental are coming together this fall. Traditional details like floral are being showcased in new ways, from large to lots of glittering small appliques. Similarly, bows are being showcased but on more of an extreme scale, like with large sculpted bows on the lower back or chest. Regardless of the detail, it's all about taking something traditional and amplifying it — making it large, over the top, and dramatic. 

The Groom

Grooms often want to keep it classic when it comes to what they’re wearing to their wedding. Grooms shouldn’t be afraid to mix things up to bring more of their personality to their wedding fit. Some options can be pinstripes, alternative fabrics for suit jackets, colorful ties or ones with designs, or textures for their suits. In fall, velvet, brocade, and tweed can all be great alternative fabrics for suits that bring a new texture. 

The Mother Of

The mother of the bride and groom outfits have been leaning more towards contemporary fashion trends over the past few years. Moms shouldn’t be afraid of opting for vibrant colors, florals, sequins, and more to bring their style while complimenting the rest of the bridal fashion.  Statement florals and pops of color can make for eye-catching photos while also complimenting the brides white gown. Keeping accessories simple can elevate a dress and prevent a colorful dress or fun pattern from being overpowered. 

Bridesmaids

Fall is the perfect time to have fun with color and have your bridal party dress in a color that compliments the season and event color scheme. Some trending colors this fall are olive green, burnt orange, burgundy, red, and forest green. Have your bridesmaids pick different style and cuts of dresses but in the same shade to create a cohesive look while also letting your bridesmaid bring some uniqueness to their look. 

Wedding Guests

Of course, when it comes to guests, it really comes down to the dress code, if it’s formal, cocktail, day, or night. Regardless, during fall, go for jewel tones and take inspiration from autumn with outfits that incorporate orange, mustard, and chocolate. Don’t be afraid of florals, as long as they incorporate fall colors. Accessories are the perfect way to make sure you don’t lose your personal style by incorporating pieces that hold special meaning and show off your personality. Keep in mind the weather when getting a shawl, jacket, or sweater to match your outfit. 

At the end of the day, the key to fall wedding fashion is color and fun patterns or appliques. Creating a look that makes you feel beautiful on your special day or while celebrating a friend or family member’s big day while also incorporating personal style is key. This fall, we expect to see more trends that lend themselves to creativity while carefully mixing traditional and contemporary fashion.
