From sophisticated city weddings to chic ceremonies in the countryside, it can be challenging to figure out what to wear to a wedding as a guest, especially while keeping the changing seasons and trends in mind. There are so many factors that go into picking a style, but ultimately you want a gown that makes you feel confident and stylish and fits well.
We loved gathering our top picks for each season for you. Match the dress of your choice to the time, location and formality of the wedding you will be attending! From a black-tie formal gathering to a laid-back country wedding, we have a variety of full-length, midis and mini dresses for you to choose from.
Fall Styles
Sequins, satin and metallic textiles take center stage for autumn. Mix these textures with rusty amber and copper hues, and you will be up-to-date on autumn trends. Sheer chiffon and heavily embellished florals make the ultimate dynamic duo for the months to come.

Winter Styles
Choosing a dress for a winter wedding can be difficult, especially when you factor in the climate and location of the occasion. With sequins and satin being a fashion statement for the season, these three designs will have you sparkling and snug in the frosty weather. Deeper hues like crimson will set the festive mood. Heavily embellished gowns, faux fur and heavier fabrics are also good options to consider, especially for chillier destinations.
