3 Stunning Amazon Dresses I Tried for a Fall Wedding (And the ONE I Wore!)
The fall wedding season is here, and recently, I had an important wedding to attend. You know how it goes: you stare at your closet, convinced you have absolutely nothing to wear, and you spend hours agonizing over the perfect dress. I am just like you, totally undecided!
Since time was running short and I needed variety, I decided to go straight to Amazon. You simply cannot beat the selection, the prices, and the speed of delivery when you’re in a pinch. It was truly Amazon to the rescue!
I ordered three completely velvet dresses, all perfect for a formal or semi-formal event, but only one could be the winner! For all three looks, I wore the same nude wedge heels and carried a simple clutch to keep the focus on the dresses.
Let’s look at all the options I ordered, including the gorgeous dress I actually wore!
Look 1: The Romantic Teal & Rust Velvet Wrap Dress
I had to start with a velvet option, and this beautiful Teal and Rust Velvet Wrap Dress caught my eye right away. The color combination feels so rich and perfect for a fall wedding.
The wrap style is always a winner because it allows you to adjust the fit perfectly, creating a lovely, defined waistline. The maxi length and the short, elegant flutter sleeves keep it feeling sophisticated. This is a dress that looks like it came from a fancy boutique, but it’s an absolute steal on Amazon!
I paired it with delicate gold jewelry to complement the metallic rust tones in the fabric.
Look 2: The Metallic Pleated Royal Blue Dress
This last dress is a beautiful option if you prefer a little shimmer! This Royal Blue Metallic Pleated Dress is a fun take on formal wear.
The crushed velvet is pleated all over and has a subtle metallic stripe that catches the light beautifully. The gathered bodice and the puff sleeves give it a trendy, modern shape. The vibrant blue is gorgeous, and it would look amazing for a winter wedding or a cocktail party! While I loved the color, the more subtle feel of the green velvet ultimately won out.
Look 3: The Winning Deep Green Velvet Dress (The One I Wore!)
And the winner is… this stunning Deep Green Velvet Tiered Dress!
The moment I put this one on, I knew it was the dress. The color is absolutely beautiful, and the velvet fabric is luxe and flattering. It has a chic tiered skirt that gives it great movement, and the subtle elastic ruching at the waist offers a comfortable, custom fit. This style works perfectly for dancing the night away!
I took the Shawl Wrap with me, and I’m so glad that I did. This was an outdoor wedding with the reception in the barn. However, the barn was crowded, so we decided to sit outside. Once the sun went down, so did the temperature.
You have to admit it, I had a Sharp Dressed Man on my arm! He looked so sharp in his blue plaid blazer, and the deep green looked fantastic next to his outfit. This dress was comfortable, elegant, and the perfect find for a wedding guest dress from Amazon.
A Note on Wedding Guest Style
It’s always a good idea to have a few elegant options on hand, especially during the busy holiday season! I love that I was able to find two gorgeous velvet dresses and a metallic one, all at such affordable prices on Amazon. They are the perfect solution for formal events when you don’t want to spend a fortune!
Fall Wedding Guest FAQ & Quick Tips
Since we’re all figuring out fall wedding season, I wanted to share a few quick tips to help you navigate the season, especially when it comes to comfort and etiquette!
| Topic | Quick Tip | Why It Matters |
| Comfortable Shoes | Always choose a heel with a block shape or a wedge if the ceremony or reception is outdoors (grass or gravel). | Pointed stilettos sink right into the ground, which is never a good look (or safe!). |
| Layering is Key | Bring an elegant layer, like a dressy shawl, a faux fur stole, or a tailored pashmina in a complementary color. | Fall temperatures can drop quickly! You’ll be glad you have something to cover your shoulders during an evening reception or an outdoor ceremony. |
| Colors to Wear | Embrace the rich colors of the season: deep jewel tones (like the velvet dresses I wore!), burgundy, forest green, navy, and deep berry shades. | These colors feel elegant and appropriate for autumn lighting and venues. |
| Check the Venue | Does the invitation mention a barn, a ballroom, or a botanical garden? | This will tell you if you need to wear sturdy heels (like blocks) or if you can pull off your most delicate pair of pumps. |
| Gift Etiquette | If you didn’t send a gift ahead of time, it’s generally best to mail it to the couple’s home after the wedding. | Most couples prefer not to handle physical gifts at the reception. Sending it later is safer and easier for them! |
