It's never easy dressing for fall—especially for outdoor weddings. The weather is oh-so-unpredictable! How do you dress warm, comfortable, and chic all at once?!

🍁 Five Fall Mother of the Bride Dresses We Love 🌻
Here are five fall mother of the bride dresses we love—and we hope you love them too! With a bit of extra coverage, they're sure to keep you warm at an outdoor wedding.
While outdoor weddings can be hard to dress for, they definitely offer a beautiful backdrop of red, orange, and yellow tones. To embrace the season and create gorgeous photographs, you must see this sienna dress.
This burnt orange color is perfect for a fall mother of the bride dress, especially if it's satin. It'll bring out your lingering summer tan and make you glow under the fairy lights.
For fall outdoor weddings, it doesn't hurt to add some coverage to your arms. Cut-out long sleeves protect you from the evening breeze but are also very stylish. Win-win!

If you're looking for a more casual mother of the bride dress for a fall outdoor wedding, this number offers the balance you're looking for.
At fancier weddings, we see mothers of the bride in silk, heavy lace, and thicker materials. This casual fall mother of the bride dress is chiffon—an airy and whimsical fabric—which is perfect for a dialed-down outdoor wedding.
But, of course, you're the mother of the bride. As a VIP guest, your "casual" should be slightly elevated. No, you don't have to wear something shiny and sparkly. Instead, we recommend lace or appliqué—they're a bit more subtle!
We recommend an off-the-shoulder dress with ¾ sleeves to keep your arms warm. It's practical—but also très chic!

Gray is a popular color choice this season and an excellent option for moms looking for a casual mother of the bride dress for a fall outdoor wedding! It's a very regal color that’s not too flashy.
Like the burgundy dress, this gray gown is also chiffon, which creates a carefree look—effortlessly. Similarly, the bodice features delicate embroidery with lace and beads. But it offers a deep-v neckline and fuller sleeves. If you have a favorite necklace you'd like to wear, this neckline lets you show it off!
Feeling overwhelmed by all the silhouettes and cuts out there? Our go-to is the A-line silhouette. Because it cinches the waistline and slightly flares from the hips, it'll create an hourglass shape no matter your body type.

For the mamas looking for a fall mother of the bride dress with some va-va-voom, you need to try on a mermaid dress!
This silhouette hugs all your curves and embraces your womanly body. In the summer months, a form-hugging dress may be too warm. But for a fall outdoor wedding, it's perfect!
Because it's not sweltering hot weather, you can also wear more or heavier fabric—without breaking a sweat! Together, fabrics like mesh, tulle, and lace can create stunning textures and designs.
Green is one of the best colors for a fall mother of the bride dress—especially if the wedding is outdoors. It totally captures the botanical vibe. Your daughter will be impressed!

Here's another look for moms who want to dial up the glam on their daughter's wedding day. All you have to do is pair gold embroidery with a dark gemstone color and you've got yourself a stunning fall mother of the bride dress.
Because the embroidery pops, it can help create an hourglass shape by drawing attention to the slender parts of your body (Yes, please!).
To keep yourself warm and comfortable, we've got a secret for you: opt for rome jersey fabric. It's typically thicker and has some elasticity, yet it still looks very sleek for a fall outdoor wedding.
