Are you looking for the perfect bridesmaid dress this season? You will fall in love with the beautiful fall bridesmaid dresses that are absolutely breathtaking and perfect for your all of your maids. Here are some choices from Dessy that I thought were just stunning.

I fell in love with this After Six Bridesmaid dress from the moment I saw it. It is a full length one shoulder matte satin gown with modified bow detail at the shoulder and matching inset waistband at natural waist. Slit at side front of skirt. I thought this is the perfect dress that would suit any bridesmaid. It can be found at Dessy.com.

This Lela Rose Style bridesmaid dress, which comes in a variety of colors for fall, is a full length one shoulder crinkle chiffon dress with matching sash and slight shirring at front skirt. It can be found at Dessy.com.

I loved the punch of color this Alfred Sung short dress offers. It is a cocktail length strapless peau de soie dress with shaped inset midriff and pleated skirt. And how convenient this dress is with pockets at side seams of skirt.

I loved this After Six Bridesmaid Style in any color. It lends itself to elegance for that early fall wedding. This is a full length strapless lux chiffon dress with inset matte satin trim at empire waist. It has a pleated bodice and front skirt.

Looking for the perfect shoes too? Dessy has some great options to think about when you pick out the bridesmaid dresses for your girls.

• Pick at least five options with different styles for bridesmaid dresses at different price points.


• Brides, if you have a specific color/style in mind investigate various lines that will satisfy both your color and style ideas before you present them to your bridesmaids.  It will eliminate any aggravation down the line.


• Before you pick a dress, be conscious of the time of year you are getting married. Not all colors work for all seasons.  You wouldn’t want to do a dark color in the middle of summer or a light color for a winter wedding.


• When you are narrowing your dress choices, take a bridesmaid with you that is top heavy and one that is bottom heavy to help you narrow down your choices in a bridesmaid dress.   You want your girls to feel good about being part of your wedding and in the dress they are wearing.


• The bridesmaid dress should in some way compliment the wedding dress, make sure when you and your bridesmaids are looking for dresses that you are keeping this point in mind.


• Just because you love a certain color or have a certain color in mind, be aware of skin tones. Pick a color that works for all of your girls.  Have a couple of colors in mind, don’t pigeon hole yourself with one color.


• Make sure that all girls are present to try on the dresses on before you settle on a decision.

• Any bridesmaid dress that does not fit a person’s body right will take attention away from you as a bride.


• If you are going to have dresses hemmed, the length should be no more than half an inch or three quarters of an inch from the floor. No one wants to see the shoes, no matter how pretty they are.


• If you are going to do short dresses, make sure the girls have the same shoes.  And find a shoe that is comfortable and at a good price point.


•  Consider chiffon since it can be the most forgiving of fabrics for bridesmaids.  It will hide a girl’s imperfections and makes everyone look the same.


• Make sure your girls pick a size that is right for them; sometimes measurements can make them get a size bigger than they actually need.


• If you are going with t-length dresses, make sure everyone has the same length.


• No stockings.  Especially if the shoes are open toe. It is not flattering.


• Straps are important to consider especially when it comes to the season, time of day and what the wedding dress looks like. In warmer months,  spaghetti straps are a good option.  In the winter, consider thicker straps that will keep your bridesmaids warm.


• As a bride,  educate yourself on trends to get some preliminary ideas of what you may want for your bridesmaids.  But remember not all the latest trends will look good on everybody.

Doesn't this picture and bridesmaid gown by Dessy capture everything fabulous about the vintage glam of the Roaring 20's ? This season's collection of dresses is upscale and modern with a bit of Gatsby Style.

Because 1920's glam is also this season's chic, new wedding trend and we know you ladies appreciate creativity with class, we thought you'd be excited about a few things going on at Dessy.

Dessy Collection designer, Vivian Diamond, had a feeling that 1920's style would be in vogue this season and you can see how her bridesmaid dress designs were influenced as a result. Lace embellishments, gorgeous necklines, and pleated panels are just a few details you might notice...

And don't think the fellas are getting left out - AfterSix's Classic Tuxedos will keep the groom classy. Plus, if he needs a less formal way to Suit Up, Dessy's Seersucker Suits will get your guy on Leo's level (or at least a little closer) without sacrificing classic style. Whether he's a Tux, Seersucker, or Khaki man, these suits are Gatsby approved.

I was inspired to write today's post on autumn wedding colours after my morning dog walk today. The leaves on the trees are just starting to turn golden and the air definitely has a crispness to it that wasn't there a couple of weeks ago.

If you're planning on getting married in September or October you'll find an autumn wedding theme gives you masses of options for colours.

Think burnt oranges, russets, deep yellows, berry purples, conker browns...

Autumn Wedding Colours For Your Bridesmaids

You can dress your maids in contrasting colours - they don't have to all match. Choose dresses in autumn colours that suit them - one of your girls might suit a golden shade, another might look a dream in green ... Let them come with you to decide. Remember the shoes absolutely don't have to match the dress either - stick to your autumn colour theme and find shoes in colours that complement the dress colours.

Dessy has a stunning array of bridesmaid dresses in autumn wedding colours and in all sorts of styles - from full length to cocktail, strapless or with sleeves.

Here's 10 to get you thinking. You also should maybe sort out an autumn moodboard - you'll find a free moodboard tool on the Dessy site too so you can get planning!
