What to wear to a fall wedding

  • Rich, warm colors: burgundy, chocolate brown, rust, olive, mustard and deep plum.
  • Satin and silky fabrics for an evening ceremony; florals on a dark background for daytime.
  • Midi and maxi lengths, which work for almost every dress code and stay warmer outside.
  • A long sleeve or a shawl for outdoor ceremonies and barn or vineyard venues once the sun goes down.

What to wear to a winter wedding

  • Velvet and satin in emerald, navy, black, deep red and burgundy.
  • Sequins and metallics for a December or New Year's Eve wedding.
  • Long sleeves or a one-shoulder gown for black tie.
  • Skip white, ivory and anything that reads as bridal, the same as any season.

Dress for the invitation

  • Black tie: a floor-length gown. See formal and black-tie rentals.
  • Formal or black tie optional: a long dress or an elevated midi.
  • Cocktail: knee-length to midi. See cocktail dresses.
  • Semi-formal or daytime: a midi or a dressy day dress.

For spring and summer weddings, showers and rehearsal dinners, see wedding guest dresses and bridal shower and rehearsal dinner dresses.

Plan around the holidays

  • Book as soon as you RSVP. Holiday-season weekends get booked early, and you'll have time to message owners about fit.
  • Allow extra shipping time in December, or rent from a closet nearby and pick it up.
  • Traveling for the wedding? Pick a 7- or 14-day rental so the dress covers the trip. Each length is one flat price.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to rent a wedding guest dress?

Wedding pieces on e.closet have a median rental price of $50 for the shortest length the owner offers, and most rent for $35–$70. Delivery and a small service fee show at checkout.

What colors should you wear to a fall wedding?

Warm, deep colors suit fall weddings: burgundy, brown, rust, olive, mustard and plum. Avoid white and ivory unless the couple asks for it.

Can I wear black to a winter wedding?

Usually, yes, especially for an evening or black-tie wedding. If the invitation or the couple's website says otherwise, follow that.

Can I rent one dress for two weddings?

Yes, if both fall inside your rental dates. Or rent a different dress for each, since renting costs a fraction of buying.
