Best Autumn Wedding Guest Dresses
Animal Spot Print Green Midi Dress - £85, Oliver Bonas
We love this animal print green midi dress from Oliver Bonas - it perfectly combines casual elements like the tie fastening with the more fancy details, like pleated shoulders and a flattering V-neck. If you’re into the 70s trend that’s everywhere right now, this is the ideal pick for you. Oliver Bonas have so many wedding guest-worthy dresses in right now, and they work so well for autumn weddings!
Sizing: 6 - 18
Pros & Cons: Although it’s a more pricey pick, this dress is so versatile that it’ll see you through your next autumn wedding and beyond!
Crepe Floral V-Neck Midaxi Tea Dress - £149, Marks & Spencer
If you love vintage style dresses, you’ll really like this midaxi tea dress from Ghost at Marks & Spencer. It’s super romantic, and will look lovely at a wedding, as well as dressed down for more casual occasions too - a real all-rounder.
Sizing: XS - XL
Pros & Cons: The relaxed fit of this dress ensures you’ll feel super comfortable, and it’s easy to dress up or down based on your accessories. It’s fairly new in, so there are no user reviews available yet.
Fenn Wright Manson Petite Marjorie Spot Tie Neck Dress - £59, Matalan
If you’re not afraid of feeling the cold a little, in exchange for a sleek and stylish guest look at the next autumn wedding you attend, this pretty polka dot number is a great shout. It finishes just below the knee, which nicely balances out the exposed shoulders, and has a fashionable halterneck.
Sizing: 8 - 18
Pros & Cons: This chic style looks way more expensive than it actually is! If you’re worried about feeling the cold, you can pair it with a wedding-appropriate coat or wrap. It is classed as ‘petite’ so may not suit taller women.
Polka Dot Wrap Long Sleeve Dress - £20, Boohoo
This beautiful polka dot wrap dress from Boohoo is simply perfect for an autumn wedding! The long sleeves will keep you cosy, but the shorter hemline and V-neckline add a flirty feel to the look.
This dress suits tights and boots just as much as it does bare legs and heels. It’s also (at the time of publication) on sale for £16, so move fast!
Sizing: 8, 10, 12, 18
Pros & Cons: You can easily dress this number down for more casual events, meaning you’ll get great cost-per-wear out of it. It’s not available in all sizes though, and is in the sale so may sell out quickly. It does come in three different colours though, so if you love the style you might have more luck in a different shade!

Pink Animal Print Satin Wrap Midi Dress - £47, River Island
Who says autumn wedding guest dresses have to come in muted shades? Stand out in this bright pink satin wrap midi dress, which features a subtle hint of animal print. Gold accessories will really make this look pop.
Sizing: 6 - 18
Pros & Cons: It comes in four different colours, so if neon pink is a bit too bold for you, you can choose from black, blue (which we also love!), or a cool geometric purple pattern.
Purple Chiffon Tiered Ruffle Long Sleeve Midi Dress - £45.99, New Look
Boho babes will love this chiffon midi dress from New Look. It’s not overly formal, but still special enough to be worn as a guest dress for an autumn wedding! It also comes in a seasonally appropriate rust-red shade, and a pretty pink colour, but here at Hitched, we’re always going to favour purple when it comes to making a style statement.
Sizing: 8 - 16
Pros & Cons: The sizing range isn’t the most generous, but New Look does have a pretty detailed size guide tool to help you ensure you find the right size for you.
Brushed Animal Print Ochre Yellow Midi Dress - £79.50, Oliver Bonas
Ochre is absolutely made for autumn weddings! We adore this animal print midi dress - those statement sleeves are so on trend right now, and you’ll look the absolute belle of the ball at the next wedding you attend if you opt for this number.
Sizing: 6 - 18
Pros & Cons: It has a zip fastening making it super easy to get in and out of. According to the Oliver Bonas website, there aren’t many left in sizes 6 and 18, so if that’s what you need you might want to move fast!
Ally Velvet Midi Dress - £189, Whistles
You’re guaranteed to get all the admiring glances in this gorgeous pink velvet midi dress from Whistles. The long sleeves and more demure length are balanced out by a cut-out back. Is it just us, or is this perfect for a velvet bridesmaid dress too?!

Satin V-Neck Empire Line Midi Tea Dress - £159, Marks & Spencer
Another stylish gem from the Ghost range at Marks & Spencer, this satin midi dress comes in two autumnal shades, teal and a rich red. It’s perfect for lovers of vintage style, but would also make a great maternity wedding guest dress due to the flattering empire line shape.

Sizing: 6 - 16
Pros & Cons: This dress has overwhelmingly positive reviews from shoppers - with one noting that they wore it to a wedding and received compliments. One review does say it runs small, so bear that in mind when ordering. It’s currently sold out in size 18, and is running low on stock in size 16.
Heart Print Short Sleeve Midi Tea Dress - £49, Marks & Spencer
This adorable dress is part of Fearne Cotton’s range for Nobody’s Child. We love the playful heart print, it’s perfect for a wedding. The puff sleeves are bang on trend, but the elegant length and empire line waist keep it looking timeless.
Sizing: 8 - 16
Pros & Cons: This dress is made from responsibly sourced viscose, making it a win for eco-friendly shoppers. Nobody’s Child designs are cut to be fairly close-fitting, so if you like a more relaxed look, opt for a size up. It’s currently out of stock in size 18.

We were totally drawn in by this bold print and colour combo - it’s the perfect choice for a wedding guest who wants to make a real style statement. It’s also on sale (at the time of writing) for £32, so move fast!
