Fall is a spectacular season – the colors, the leafy scents, and the crisp air all justify some excellent fashions. We see heavier fabrics, golden-hues, and a mix of matte and shimmer as the trends transition away from summery pastels. Before the sparkles and silver steal the spotlight in winter fashion, as evidenced by Lakme Winter Fashion Week 2014, we highly recommend you fall brides to make full use of the gorgeous colors and styles in season!
Here are some of our favorite fall wedding dresses for the upcoming season:
This blue, gold, and orange saree is beautifully fall – the brightly colored skirt contrasts perfectly with the deep blue blouse. The detail on the blouse is gold-toned, which makes the outfit an ideal warm-hued choice for autumn.
Pink and orange are generally summer colors, but this Anita Dongre choli outfit is an excellent transition into fall. With gold undertones and a deep orange skirt, the dress would suit an early-autumn wedding ceremony.
Red is bold, daring, and perfect for autumn. This twist on a modern choli has a fitted corset-blouse, which is offset by a loosely flowing deep red skirt. Plus, nothing screams “fall” more than red ombre!
From the collared blouse to the intricate beading design, this gold saree is a queen’s choice for fall. Royal blue and light gold complement each other perfect in this draping and decadent design. The long, red sleeves will not only keep you warm – they’ll also contribute to the golden tones of the outfit!
Gold and fabulous, this Tarun Tahiliani gown is great if you want to ensure you’re the centerpiece for the whole event. I love how the fitted top contrasts with the flared skirt – and the traditional veil is a nice touch to the otherwise contemporary design!
A traditional lehenga for a Mughal-inspired bride, this Tarun Tahiliani rustic orange piece is detailed with intricate beading, thick borders, and blue highlights. It’s the perfect color scheme for fall, and an elegant way to dress up!
For the more conservative bride, this Manish Malhotra golden lehenga with sheer fabric emphasis and a thick, beaded blue border is a simple way to welcome autumn into the wedding. The colors are light, and the design is modest, yet experimental enough with its high collar to stand out without going overboard.
Red and gold are a match made in heaven – especially so for the fall season! This gorgeous Shree Raj Mahal Jewellers lehenga is bright red with gold prints and borders. It’s simple in design, but the detailed blouse and silky fabric makes the outfit a showstopper.
Rina Dhaka‘s bright salmon lehenga is one of the few, rare reasons to go bright and pink for fall. The color matches perfectly with the gold, embellished blouse and welcomes the season with a slow nod toward fall reds and oranges.
You can’t go wrong with Anju Modi, whose lehenga was designed for fall wear. Bright yellows, sheer fabrics, long sleeves, and red accents all contribute to the earthy, ethnic feel that this outfit exudes.
Autumn is here, and we’re ready to embrace it! If you’re looking for a fall-inspired outfit, think gold tones and deep highlights in blues or other contrasting colors. The wonderful thing about fall is that you can mix your favorite parts of summer and winter – so feel free to go with sheer fabrics or shimmery prints! Fall is the perfect in-between season to express our brightest, boldest fashions.
