Are you loving the rustic ambiance that a fall wedding seems made for? But are you dreaming of adding some romance to it as well? The perfect solution: a rustic-romantic fall wedding gown! We can just see you in a creation that complements the autumn outdoors\u2014whether out in the forest, in an open meadow, or right in your home garden\u2014while remaining soft and feminine as well. Wondering how you can achieve that look yourself? Read on and swoon over the gorgeous fall bridal dresses<\/strong> we found that do so with style and grace!<\/p>\n Go Vintage\/Boho<\/strong><\/p>\n Something about fall just seems to suit a bohemian theme. So now would be your chance to scour those vintage shops and online sites, and find a lovely piece featuring ultra-soft fabric, embroidery, and beadwork (1)<\/strong>. Or if you\u2019re a free spirit who loves the gypsy bride or flower child look, autumn is the season for you. You could work in elements like antique lace, patchwork, appliques, more elaborate embroidery and beading, fringes, or a cozy crocheted shawl.<\/p>\n Play Up the Contrast<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019ve surely seen the hugely popular contrast of a feminine bridal gown with a pair of cowboy boots underneath (2)<\/strong>\u2014a look you can extend to your bridesmaids, too, at a full-blown Western-themed wedding! Or do the unexpected and wear a strapless gown with a sweetheart bodice (3)<\/strong> and a softly flowing full skirt. Your choice of fabric, too, can be something normally seen at spring or summer ceremonies\u2014such as delicate chiffon, lace, or tulle. Worried about the autumn chill? We\u2019ve got you covered…<\/p>\n Don a Wrap<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, you can always have a lovely bolero, bridal jacket, or shawl designed to match your dress. So you can slip it on when needed, and still have a polished, pulled-together look. Another option for a more casual wedding would be a patterned top\u2014plaid<\/strong> would suit the season perfectly (6)<\/strong>\u2014or even a cute colored cardigan that would keep you nice and warm, too.<\/p>\n Add Feminine Touches<\/strong><\/p>\n Just like our suggestion on contrast, allow the typically rough and woodsy vibe of fall to set off ladylike design elements. Think gossamer-soft fullness (5)<\/strong>, ribbons and bows (6)<\/strong>, ruffles, scalloped edging, sheer overlays, dainty lace. Then since an outdoor venue may make a veil impractical, consider a hair ornament or headpiece<\/strong> that\u2019s sweet and feminine, too (1, 3)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Spring a Modern Surprise<\/strong><\/p>\n Finally, since autumn seems to suggest well-loved traditions (could it be the Thanksgiving spirit in the air?), we thought of another way to pull a surprise. Go for a modern gown! Maybe one with unique sleeves (4)<\/strong> or an asymmetrical neckline or skirt. Or featuring a figure-hugging silhouette in gorgeous lace (7)<\/strong>. Perhaps a colored dress or one with a slinky satin fabric not expected for this season.<\/p>\n So have we managed to \u2018shake up\u2019 the rustic stereotype for wedding dresses in the fall? As you can see, the romantic look is a definite option.<\/p>\n Image credits:<\/em><\/p>\n 1 – Bygones Vintage Clothing<\/a> \/ Jessica Maida Photography<\/a>, via French Wedding Style<\/a> Are you loving the rustic ambiance that a fall wedding seems made for?
