You'll be the talk of the wedding in this One-Shoulder Fringed Ribbed Silk Maxi Dress from Lukhanyo Mdingi. The up-and-coming South African designer is known for blending modern craftsmanship techniques with timelessly elegant silhouettes. Knit from lustrous silk, this ribbed midi dress is surprisingly lightweight and comfortable. It goes without saying that the fringe trim along the bottom deserves a twirl or two on the dancefloor.

Can't get enough of the Barbiecore trend you keep seeing on your For You page? Add this bright pink Gwneyth Dress from the Elliatt X Revolve collab to your cart! Draped effortlessly across one shoulder, its understated silhouette balances out the bold color. Lightly padded shoulders, subtle ruching, and a side slit accentuate your hourglass curves in its waist-cinching silhouette.

When it comes to jewelry, skip the necklace and accentuate the asymmetrical neckline with a loose, low bun and a pair of hoops instead.

No fabric says fall quite like velvet. And that's precisely why this Norma Kamali V-Neck Rectangle Gown makes the perfect choice for an autumn wedding (and perhaps a holiday party too). The fitted maxi dress pairs a body-conscious fit with a daring V-neckline. Its effortless glamor and sexy silhouette make it the perfect option for a formal affair, especially styled with tasteful gold jewelry and nude heels.

How chic is this Monsieur Mini Dress from NBD? Its asymmetrical silhouette boasts a long sleeve with light shoulder padding on one side and a strapless sweetheart neckline on the other. Together, its boned bodice, adjustable waist tie, and fitted mini skirt give you that wrap dress feels while covetable hourglass shape. Pair your LBD with strappy black heels to elongate your legs and a side-swept hairdo to show off the one-shoulder neckline.

Halston's Juliet Shimmer Jersey Gown exudes a different kind of glamor. Its pleated metallic plisse fabric shimmers under the light, bringing a dose of Studio 54 glamor to the dance floor. Equipped with a twirl-worthy maxi skirt and an invisible strapless bodice, it's the ideal choice for wedding-goers who can't wait to hit the night away.

Just be sure to order far enough in advance to fit in a quick trip to the tailor. The right hemline length is key to nailing Halston's quintessentially 70s look.

Cut from luxe velvet fabric, One33 Social's Puff-Sleeve Cut-Out Dress offers a sense of timeless sophistication. The fitted mini dress features a high neckline and long puff sleeves fit for an outdoor fall wedding. A chest cut-out shows a touch of skin, adding subtle sex appeal to its elegant design. The rich sapphire blue color looks stunning on any skin tone and pairs well with both silver and gold accessories.

Tailored to perfection, this Mara Velvet Maxi Dress from Jenny Yoo compliments bodies of all shapes and sizes. Its square neck and back beautifully frame your face, providing the perfect backdrop for a statement necklace. A thigh-slit and flowy maxi skirt adds movement and a flash of skin. Offered in seven autumnal shades, it's a suitable choice for bridesmaid dresses too. With shades like sage, cinnamon rose, and vintage plum to choose from, there's something for every wedding guest.

Shine bright in Ulla Johnson's Angelica Long-Sleeve Printed Knit Maxi Dress. Its marigold yellow viscose fabric boasts decorative botanical motifs fit for a fall setting.

Channel 70s glam in this skin-baring Mary Cut-Out Maxi Dress from USISI SISTER, a sustainable London-based label founded by sisters Kathryn and Millie Allsopp. Knit from a blend of organic cotton and responsibly-sourced merino wool, it's the ideal choice for a chilly outdoor occasion. Crossover straps and a cut-out neckline bring visual interest to the otherwise simple long-sleeve, maxi-length silhouette. If this deep wine red isn't your color, try the basic black version instead.

Prefer something with a shorter hemline? Slip into this Noemi Ruched Mini Dress from Australian designer Shona Joy. It boasts dramatic balloon sleeves and a ruffled skirt that show off the delicate semi-sheer chiffon fabric. Fitted through the waist, the high-neck, mini-length silhouette creates a feminine hourglass shape without feeling overly stuffy. The decadent pumpkin orange hue looks particularly striking, surrounded by fall colors at a casual outdoor ceremony.

Attend your next wedding looking elegant and chic in the Edwin Ruffled Evening Gown. Layered cabernet red tulle contrasting against red velvet bodice. Plunging surplice v-neck allows you to wear your favorite sparkling necklace. Crafted with an open halter neck back with hook closure.

For more formal occasions, there's Mac Duggal's Embellished Evening Gown. Rendered in emerald green sequins, it's undeniably glamorous without feeling over the top. A plunge neckline and curve-skimming fit tastefully show off your figure. Long sleeves and a floor-length hem make it an excellent choice for a formal fall wedding with an outdoor ceremony. On chillier autumn days, bring along a faux fur coat for added warmth.

Stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons in this Gigi Maxi Dress from the Remi X Revolve collab. It's offered in sizes XXS- 4X— and, unlike many wedding guest dresses, is actually designed to look good in every size. Its one-shoulder silhouette is cut from cherry red stretch jersey fabric that skims effortlessly over your curves. A thigh-high side seam slit elongates your legs and, perhaps, shows off a statement shoe.

For those seeking something more modest, try this Ruched Twist Column Gown from La Femme for size.

Complete your look with simple black two-strap heels and a slick bun that lets the statement-making ruffles do all the talking.
