Fall weddings are in full bloom this season! Couples are falling in love with bold colors, long sleeve gowns, traditional styles with elegant embellishment, and crisp air surrounding their intimate ceremonies. With summer coming to a blissful end, here are a few of the fashion trends we’re expecting to see this autumn wedding season.
Brides
Off the Shoulder
The off-the-shoulder design is a classic look, elevating traditional silhouettes to an elegant style. This Justin Alexander: Organza Off-the-Shoulder gown presents a stunning ballroom design, with accents of a chic modern skirt perfect for airy fall ceremonies. The Lillian West Strapless Jacquard Gown features detachable sleeves which helps create the off-the-shoulder look. Detachable sleeves and bows will be a staple this fall wedding season to uniquely accent gowns.
Bold Colors
Fall is notorious for its bold colors, and this year, so is the wedding scene. Bold colors are an excellent way to match the vibrant shades of the seasonal change. They also create a unique, whimsical look.
Bows
Bows are a subtle way to elegantly enhance your gown without over embellishment. This wedding season, expect to see detachable bows rise to the forefront, creating a seamless addition to floor length and cathedral gowns.
Pants
This fall wedding season will capture a chic wedding style: pants. Showcased glamorously in the New York Fashion Week’s 2024 fall Bridal collection, pants held the spotlight as a unique alternative to brides wanting a different aesthetic. Pants create an airy elegance to fall ceremonies and can also be flexible as a reception trend.
Lace Sleeves
Lace sleeves this season will be artfully designed with gorgeous floral prints weaved into the fabric. Stunning for outdoor weddings against the backdrop garden ceremonies, lace sleeves are a wonderful way to create an air of grace and elegance against more traditional gowns, or intricate designs.
Designed Veils
This 2024 fall wedding season, a star of ceremonies are the veils. Often subtle in contrast to the gown, this season veils will make their debut in accenting the dress in intricate detailing. The traditional accessories will be tailored with unique appliqués, vintage, Hollywood glam lace, and florals to match the floral detailing we’ll be seeing in fall gowns.
Florals
While often a spring design, it seems florals are taking the spotlight in Fall 2024 fashion. From intricate bodice detailing, woven into the fabric of lace sleeves, or sewn into the train of a gown, florals are being presented in a fresh new way for the upcoming season. It blends wonderfully against the backdrop of fall flowers — and can match gorgeously with your wedding bouquet.
Midi Dresses
A charming alternative to floor length gowns will be midi dresses this season. This gown in particular features the chic floral ruffles atop the bodice, while maintaining a traditional pencil silhouette. Midi dresses are wonderful for reception, and outdoor ceremonies in early September and October when temperatures may still be high in the fall season.
Intricate Designs
This season, brides will begin to see incredible intricate designs woven into gowns. The Lilian West Strapless Gown showcases a stunning floral bodice, accented by a floral overskirt — another fall trend is bridal skirts. Pronovias’ timeless gown features intricate designs, and a Hollywood classic bodice. The veil captures the detailing of the gown, with accents of the stunning embellishment perfect against fall backdrops.
Hollywood Glam
Hollywood glam is making a return in bridal fashion this 2024 season. Pronovias and Elisabetta Franchi debuted their 2024 bridal collaboration highlighting the elegant charm and timeless structure of Old Hollywood glam designs. Perfect for cathedral or historic weddings, these sparkling and intricate designs pair well with storied wedding architecture and fairytale themes.

Groom
Color
The grooms are shining in more color this fall fashion season. Blues, greens, tan, and white is a staple for men looking to spice their wedding style. Colorful ties will also be a highlighting accessory against more traditional suit colors.
Peal Lapel
Peal Lapel Tuxedos create a classic, old Hollywood aesthetic to the groom style this Fall wedding season. This year, peal lapel tuxedos are expected to be a trending style that will continue into the 2025 season.
