There’s something magical about getting married in Autumn – there’s an exciting sense of change in the air and you know those romantic, cosy nights by the fire are on their way! If you’re planning an Autumn wedding, we’re on hand to help you choose the perfect dress. Read on for our top tips…
Embrace The Season With Subtle Detail
Whilst many Autumn brides choose to give a nod to the season through gold, red or copper colour-schemes, there’s no reason why you can’t also embrace the time of year through your wedding dress fabric choice!
Consider picking a dress with leafy or floral lace detailing, or perhaps a jacquard gown with a botanical pattern. Caleb, from our Serene by Madi Lane collection, is crafted from delicate lace and tulle and features a gorgeous motif of flowers and leaves falling down the skirt – perfect for reflecting the season!
We also have Patchouli by Rembo Atelier arriving soon, which features a delicate 3D leaf design and comes with detachable sleeves to combat the changeable Autumn weather!
Wrap Up With Long Sleeves
We all know that Autumn is a beautiful season, but it can herald a change in the weather that has you reaching for those cosy jumpers you’ve shunned all Summer! For that reason, a long-sleeved wedding dress could be your best bet if you’re planning to get married in Autumn.
Choose A Fabric That Keeps Out The Chill
When it comes to wedding dresses, there are many different fabrics to choose from. If you’re getting married in Autumn, however, you might want to consider a fabric that’s better suited to keeping you warm on your big day. For example, satin has a slightly heavier weight that’s ideal for weddings in the cooler months. Crepe has insulating qualities and is a flexible fabric that can help brides stay comfortable as well as warm. Mikado is thick and structured, so lends itself ideally to weddings in Autumn or Winter.
Or Blanc, by Rembo Atelier, is a gorgeous example of a crepe wedding dress, with a pretty top featuring embroidered flowers. If you’re looking for a bit of bohemian style, this could be “the one!” Alternatively, for a traditional gown with a modern twist, how about Ceilia by Marylise? This Mikado dress has a subtle floral detail on the back and even better, it has pockets!
Of course, if you’re a bride who wants to fully customise your look for your big day, you could try Jules or Farah by Shikoba Bride. These simple slip dresses, available in crepe or satin, can be teamed with any of the Shikoba toppers we stock, to create a wedding look that is unique to you.
Be Bold And Go Beyond White!
When we think “wedding dress,” we traditionally imagine a white gown, but there’s no reason you can’t use the colour of your dress to give a subtle nod to the season!
Killian, from our Serene by Madi Lane collection, with its romantic, waterfall tulle, is available in soft blush as well as ivory, adding a gentle splash of colour that complements the Autumn tones outside.
For the boho amongst you, Orla by Shikoba Bride (coming very soon!) is available with a Sienna under-dress, giving an earthy vibe that perfectly matches the season.
We also stock Holly by Rembo Atelier, a stunning dress with a top featuring ivory embroidered tulle, with beige tulle beneath. The subtle colour makes Holly an eye-catching choice for a bride who wants something a little different for her big day!
