If you’re invited to a September wedding, it’s officially time to embrace the romance in the air, despite the impending chilly breeze on the horizon. While the temperatures may not be as balmy as the summer months, the beauty of early autumn is in full force and the changing season allows an opportunity to experiment with darker hues. Whether you’re watching a longtime friend or colleague tie the knot, try elevating your wedding guest fashion to stylish new heights. We’ve compiled a few essentials to help you create the perfect outfit for all the fall nuptials on your social calendar.

Meanwhile, the graceful high-low hemline, V-neckline and flared skirt add a glamorous finish.
