What to Wear For a Casual Fall Outdoor Wedding
Every so often, we get the pleasure of attending a casual, fun fall outdoor wedding.
Figuring out what to wear to a wedding can be a stressful event even though you’re not the one getting up there and tying the knot. You hope to dress appropriately and since it’s casual, you don’t want to look out of place.

A casual wedding isn’t without its boundaries. Flip flops and blue jeans won’t fly…

What’s a great dress for a casual fall wedding?
The best dress for you will depend on what you’re most comfortable wearing. The weather might fluctuate, so think warm. Since the ceremony, and possibly the reception are both outside you’ll want a dress that you can layer. Don’t worry about sleeves as much, as you can always layer with a shawl or a cardigan sweater.
Here are a few dress options to consider:
- The sweater dress.
- You’re looking for a dress that’s comfortable for sweater weather. For a dress that’s knee length you can wear stockings or leggings to keep your legs warm for the chillier weather.
- Add a bit of flare.
- When you want a dress that’s reliable and unpretentious, flare dresses keep it casual. 3-quarter sleeve might be the best option considering the likely temps, but again, you might rely on a cozy cardigan to handle the weather.
- The maxi dress.
One of the all-time favorites for a casual wedding is the maxi dress. It’s ideal for those who want a longer dress that presents a put-togetherness with an edge of excitement too.
Throw on a light jacket and you won’t be bothered by the cold. You can pull tissues from the jacket pockets when the vows really get to you.
