14 Dreamy Fall Bridesmaid Dresses for Every Style

While some couples dream of warm weather weddings, many others choose celebrations just as the start of the cool weather season takes hold, and for good reason. With the leaves changing color, the holidays right around the color, and the festive spirit all around, autumn is one of the most popular times of the year to say "I do." And if you’re one of the fall-time brides looking for bridesmaid dress inspiration, you’ve come to the right place.

First thing’s first: There are no set "rules" when it comes to fall bridesmaid dresses, Revelry’s senior director of marketing, Alena Wells, tells Brides. That said, she does see a surge in textured fabrics like velvet, sequin, and satin from September through November. As for colors, "jewel tones like emerald, burgundy, and black are [autumn] classics and not going anywhere," Wells explains. "We also tend to see our dresses with sleeves sell more for fall and winter weddings."

While aspects like rich hues and sleeves might be popular in the fall, Wells says what's most important is a bride finds styles that match her day-of vision and aesthetic. Whether that means you select a color palette and let your bridesmaids pick dress styles they prefer or simply find an option everyone loves, as long as the gowns make you happy and keep your crew comfy, you’ll be in business. 

Below, we’ve rounded up 20 of the most popular fall bridesmaid dress styles fit for any bride’s autumn celebration.
