Step 1
Choose the right fabric. Most autumn brides choose to go with lightweight fabric. Silk is the most popular, since it is lightweight yet versatile.
-
Step 2
Choose a sleeveless style. Autumn weather can vary - temperatures can plunge from the afternoon to the evening - and this fashion choice works well while it is warm. If the weather cools, you can drape a matching wrap or shawl over your arms and shoulders.

Step 3
Consider choosing a different color than white. Even though a white bridal gown is the tradition, different colors such as soft golden tones or light champagne colors can look quite smashing with the autumn colors you use for flowers.
-
Step 4
Go with a long, full-length style. Not only are full-length gowns more formal, but shorter tea-length gowns should be saved for summer weddings. Pair a long gown with a delicate pair of bridal boots for a stylish autumn wedding look.

Step 5
Consider which accessories can be worn with the dress. This helps in choosing a style and color. Wear a sash tied around your waist to match the fall-colored bridesmaid dresses. Don't plan on wearing spring flowers in your hair for a fall wedding. Also don't plan on a fur mantle, which should be reserved for winter.
