With fall in full swing, we love seeing all of the gorgeous brides embracing the golden light and rustic features of the season for their weddings. And, while we love to think Florida has the best weather in fall for weddings (compared to the hot, humid summers), there are definitely spotlight destinations with colorful foliage that are symbolic of the season.

For curvy brides with a fall wedding, choosing a plus-size wedding dress should blend comfort, while embracing the season’s ambiance. In this post, we share 5 tips to help you find the perfect fit.

Flattering Silhouettes for Your Curves

While plus-size brides might feel worried about the best dress styles for their bods, you might be surprised by how perfectly that tight mermaid gown accentuates your curves. So, don’t be afraid to be daring at your appointment!

Other favorites include A-line and ballgown silhouettes, which highlight the waist while offering a regal look. For a touch of glamour, consider a fitted bodice with a flowing skirt.

Rich, Fall-ish Fabrics We Adore

Fabrics like satin, tulle, and lace not only bring texture but also add warmth in cooler climates. Velvet is another great option for its luxurious feel and seasonal charm, creating an elegant, eye-catching look.

Layer Up Stylishly

Cooler fall temperatures invite layering. Consider dresses with delicate sleeves, capes, or shawls, which can enhance the design while keeping you cozy. Long sleeves with lace accents or sheer fabrics add a romantic, seasonal touch.

All ABout the Details, Babe

Intricate beading, lace overlays, and embroidery give plus-size dresses a lavish look. Opt for embellishments along the neckline, shoulders, or waist to create visual interest without overwhelming the design.

Embrace Fall Color Tones

While ivory is classic, warm tones like champagne, blush, and even soft gold can add a unique fall-inspired twist. These colors complement autumn scenery beautifully and enhance the season's warm, cozy feel.
