What To Wear To A September Wedding


{ Via Alice + Olivia }

September is a tricky month. It's not fall until the 22nd, and it is most likely still hot. I faced this dilemma last September in Wisconsin.  My best advice to you ~ be prepared for hot weather, and stay away from pastels. This edit will get you to the church on time with style. As always, there's a look for every budget, beginning at $89.

De La Vali Calpso Maxi
Everything about this dress says  September wedding. It is the epitome of Boho chic. The statement look doesn't come inexpensively. $790

Helsa Tessa Applique Dress
Fall florals? Oh yes. If it isn't 90 degrees, this gown is gorgeous. $775
Anthropologie

Smocked Long Sleeve Maxi
Such a charming and pretty pattern!  It's sure to be very flowy, making your every step graceful. Love it for a garden wedding. $360

Staud Viola Dress
With an interesting draped skirt, this chic dress caught my eye immediately. Wear it in September as is or with a wrap. Add a leather jacket in October. One caveat....only wear this "fawn" shade if you know the bride is wearing white. $595

Ulla Johnson Estella Dress
It's a silk blend with a jacquard print that at first glance reminded me of Missoni. Love! It's super expensive but oh so fabulous.

Faithful Amandine Silk Maxi
Just perfect for September! Add some chandelier earrings and maybe a sparkly brooch off center at the waist. $89 - $112

Tuckernuck Dupioni Silk Midi
Pardon the pic, even with her head cut off, you get the idea of the drape and flow of this pretty piece. It's available in four stylish shades $228


Alemais Clemenza Silk Dress
Sophisticated and quite chic for any special event. $790

Simkhai Montgomery Dress
Love this elegant dress. It's beautiful in chocolate or in navy. $645
Umbria Ramie Skirt & Blouse
Looks like fall but it is actually from Cynthia Rowley's spring line. It's lightweight in darker colors. Perfect for September. The sheer flowy fabric adds elegance and movement. Each piece sold separatley.

Et Ochs Liliana Dress
Love the color blocking! It creates the most flattering asymetrical fit. A very modern look. Done in a knit which should be perfect for September. On sale for $314

Heirlome Jose de Jesus Silk Dress
A chic and lively print is just so perfect for a pre-fall wedding. It's a sensation in silk. $$$
