Fading from summer into winter, autumn gives us romantic skies, breathtaking nature and a beautiful colour palette \u2013 a total change from the pastel hues of spring or vibrant colour pops of summer.<\/p>\n<p>So how does a bride \u2018wear autumn\u2019 well? Here we\u2019ve rounded up a few thoughts to <a href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/how-a-wedding-celebrant-can-give-you-a-5-star-wedding\/\" title=\"How a wedding celebrant can give you a 5 Star Wedding\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1223\">give you some inspiration for your autumn celebration<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>To sleeve or not to sleeve\u2026?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although the sun is still beautifully warm when it peeps out, chilly moments are a definite possibility, so you may decide to opt for a dress with a sleeve to give a bit more warmth. We just adore <em>Amelie <\/em>from <a href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wedding-dress-collection-watters-the-sun-was-shining-on-the-sea\/\" title=\"Wedding dress collection: Watters &#8211; The Sun Was Shining on the Sea\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1222\">Watter\u2019s Love Marley collection<\/a>. With its soft draped tulle and romantic lace, this dress is the perfect autumn gown. And its three-quarter length sleeves only add to its beauty, extending the lace detail which balances out the simple skirt. Sleeves can enhance a <a href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wedding-dress-collection-charlotte-balbier-ethereal-beauty\/\" title=\"Wedding dress collection: Charlotte Balbier &#8211; Ethereal Beauty\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1220\">dress beautifully<\/a>, but make sure they don\u2019t make it top heavy, or become the overriding feature! Long sleeves mean you\u2019ll need a dipped neckline or simpler detail.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_119559\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-119559\" style=\"width: 870px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-119559\" title=\"image: watters\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/wedding-dresses-detailed-lace-back-amelie-love-marley-watters-683x1024-300x450.jpg\" alt=\"wedding-dresses-detailed-lace-back-amelie-love-marley-watters-683x1024\" width=\"870\" height=\"1304\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-119559\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-119559\" title=\"image: watters\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/wedding-dresses-detailed-lace-back-amelie-love-marley-watters-683x1024-300x450.jpg\" alt=\"wedding-dresses-detailed-lace-back-amelie-love-marley-watters-683x1024\" width=\"870\" height=\"1304\" \/><\/noscript> Sheer perfection &#8211; the sleeve really adds elegance to this gown<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Cover ups<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cape, coat, shrug or bolero, if you\u2019d rather go strapless for the dress, a gorgeous cover up can be your best friend. Whether you want to save the \u2018big reveal\u2019, create a layered look or protect your shoulders from the nip in the autumn air, you cannot go wrong with a piece from Lucia Silver\u2019s <em>Adornment <\/em>collection. Rather than covering up the <a href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/the-beauty-of-a-custom-made-gown\/\" title=\"The Beauty Of A Custom Made Gown\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1221\">beautiful gown<\/a>, these pieces will embellish any outfit \u2013 so stunning you may not want to take it off at all! Intricate beading or simply sheer, the right cover up will be your best friend. Make sure you weave it into your plans early on so dress and cover up are completely in tune with each other.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_119558\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-119558\" style=\"width: 870px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-119558\" title=\"image: lucia silver\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/luciasilvertheadornmentcollection-359x450.jpg\" alt=\"luciasilvertheadornmentcollection\" width=\"870\" height=\"1090\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-119558\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-119558\" title=\"image: lucia silver\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/luciasilvertheadornmentcollection-359x450.jpg\" alt=\"luciasilvertheadornmentcollection\" width=\"870\" height=\"1090\" \/><\/noscript> Adorn your shoulders with a stunning drape<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Autumn hues<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Autumn somehow feels more relaxed \u2013 gone is the pressure of a \u2018hot <a href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/summer-wedding-trends\/\" title=\"Summer Wedding Trends\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1217\">summer wedding\u2019<\/a> and the more relaxed hues of the season encourage the same in a wedding. Autumn is a transitional season, fusing summer and winter, so if you\u2019re feeling brave, why not go for a \u2018fusion\u2019 dress? Ombre or dip dye gowns can be simply breathtaking, and by using your chosen autumn <a href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/greenery-chic-in-stunning-umbria\/\" title=\"Greenery Chic in Stunning Umbria\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1215\">colour palette<\/a>, you will ensure your husband-to-be (and your guests) cannot take their eyes off you all day.

Slightly more relaxed and quirky, you are free to express yourself with a theatrical number if you wish! Why not go for something a bit different? This <a href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wedding-dress-collection-galia-lahav-queen-of-hearts\/\" title=\"Wedding dress collection: Galia Lahav &#8211; Queen of Hearts\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1218\">Galia Lahav<\/a> ticks all the boxes with its tumble down straps, intricate embroidered lace bodice and billowing tulle layers mirroring the seasonal falling leaves.<\/p>\n<p>And why not mix it up \u2013 forego the traditional veil and choose a striking tiara &#8211; we think this one is the perfect accompaniment to complete the bohemian look. Teamed with tousled curls and stunning accessories, you will simply glow with autumnal radiance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_119556\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-119556\" style=\"width: 870px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-119556\" title=\"image: galia lahav\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Cinderella-galia-lahav-450x300.jpg\" alt=\"cinderella-galia-lahav\" width=\"870\" height=\"580\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-119556\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-119556\" title=\"image: galia lahav\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Cinderella-galia-lahav-450x300.jpg\" alt=\"cinderella-galia-lahav\" width=\"870\" height=\"580\" \/><\/noscript> Cinderella meets boho<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Mirror the changing season<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Crunching leaves underfoot and a low sun peeking over the rusting trees embodies the atmosphere of the change in season. Just enough warmth in the air to remind us of the summer and gently turning leaves still clinging to the trees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A perfect way to take a nod to summer is to team up a floating layered skirt with a strapless bodice featuring a lace overlay. Reminiscent of warmer summer months whilst giving a bit more cover, we love this <a href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wedding-dress-collection-caroline-castigliano-celebrating-romance\/\" title=\"Wedding dress collection: Caroline Castigliano &#8211; Celebrating Romance\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1216\">Caroline Castigliano gown for a wedding<\/a> in this transitional season.
