Burgundy fall wedding guest dresses in wine velvet

Burgundy fall wedding guest dresses suit October and November invitations because the color is already as warm as the leaves outside. Every one we make here is velvet, and nearly all have sleeves, so the evening chill after the ceremony is less of a problem.

How long should you go for a fall wedding

Check the invitation first. An evening reception with a dress code is where our floor-length burgundy gowns belong. The closed one covers your arms fully. Its leg slit lets the hem swing as you head for the dance floor. Two others leave the shoulders open, with three-quarter sleeves and a deep side slit.

A family wedding with older relatives at the table? Pick a midi. We sew a burgundy midi that covers neck and arms and stays modest from every angle. Another adds a slim belt and a shallow V. Knee boots almost meet that hem if the venue is outdoors.

Short works for a relaxed party in a restaurant. Our marsala wrap mini is 88 cm long, with sleeves to the wrist. Marsala runs a shade deeper than burgundy, and you’ll notice it most in warm evening light. With a mini, sheer black tights look neater than bare legs in November.

Gold, shoes and a coat for the walk outside

Gold sits warmly on wine velvet. One pair of long earrings or a thin bracelet is enough, since the fabric shines softly on its own. Leave the rhinestone clutch at home and carry a small plain bag instead. In the slit gowns your shoes show with each step. Pick a suede or patent heel you’d be happy to see in the photos.

It’s fall. Bring a straight coat that’s longer than the dress, or a short faux fur over a mini. Black works with every shade here. Camel does too, and it feels softer next to wine.

Planning a few weeks ahead helps. You’ll want time to try the dress with your heels before the day.

Frequently asked questions

Is burgundy too dark for a daytime ceremony?

Not in velvet. The pile catches daylight and keeps the color rich rather than heavy. A maroon fall wedding guest dress also looks right beside autumn flowers and pumpkins on the tables.

Will velvet be too warm for dancing?

Some of our long styles have slits, which help a lot. If the hall runs hot, choose three-quarter sleeves and keep your wrists free.

How do I find my size in a fitted style?

Measure your bust and hips. We make these from XS to XL. If you usually buy a US 6 or 8, start with our M.
