How to Style Boho Wedding Guest Dresses for Fall (October Edition)
Fall weddings are pure magic, especially in October when the air turns crisp and the leaves set the perfect backdrop.
If you’re going for a boho look, you’re in the right place—but remember, boho doesn’t mean throwing on any flowy dress and calling it a day. It’s all about details, texture, and effortless layering.
Start by choosing dresses with earthy tones—rust, olive, burgundy, mustard, or dusty rose are all perfect for the season.
Look for fabrics that add personality: crochet, velvet, lace, embroidery, or fringe. These elements give your outfit movement, charm, and that cozy fall feeling.
Don’t forget the structure. A soft silhouette is lovely, but balance it with defined waists, tiered skirts, or puffed sleeves to add shape.
For cooler outdoor weddings, layer with a printed kimono, fringed shawl, or long duster—something that complements, not covers.
Accessories make a big difference. Go for stacked bangles, bold earrings, or layered necklaces—but don’t overload. One or two statement pieces can carry the whole outfit.
And when it comes to shoes, you can’t go wrong with cowboy boots, suede ankle boots, or strappy sandals, depending on the venue.
Most importantly, your outfit should feel comfortable, confident, and true to your vibe. You’re not trying to fit in—you’re showing up with intention, looking great, and feeling even better.
Outfit Ideas
1. Soft Sage Maxi with Crochet Bodice and Floral Crown
For an outdoor or rustic October wedding, a sage green maxi dress with a smocked crochet bodice brings calm and elegance.
The flowy skirt makes it perfect for walking through grass or sitting on hay bales, and the floral crown adds a dreamy, whimsical touch that feels right at home in a garden or barn setting.
Add gold bangles or dainty rings to finish the look without taking away from its natural beauty.
2. Deep Orange Floral Tie-Front Dress with Slit
Planning to attend a more casual fall celebration? Go for a bold floral print in rich autumn colors with a front-tie cutout and leg slit.
The 3/4 puff sleeves and lightweight flow create movement, and it pairs beautifully with simple earrings or a delicate chain necklace to keep it playful but polished.
3. Strapless Crochet Fringe Midi with Shawl
If you’re heading to a desert-style or boho-chic wedding, try a dusty rose strapless midi dress with full crochet fringe at the hem.
The texture makes a statement without needing bold patterns.
Pair it with a long cream shawl for coverage when the evening chill rolls in, and choose woven sandals or neutral heels for a soft finish.
4. Burgundy Velvet Wrap Gown with Sheer Sleeves
A deep burgundy velvet wrap dress with sheer long sleeves is perfect for evening weddings or vineyard venues.
The soft velvet catches the light beautifully, and the fitted waist flatters without feeling too formal. Add drop earrings and maybe a bold lip to lean into the romantic mood.
5. Embroidered Midi with Vintage Flair and Rattan Clutch
For a laid-back yet dressy look, a taupe embroidered midi dress with puffed sleeves and floral detailing adds a vintage feel.
The lace-trimmed neckline and natural tones are great for open-field or countryside weddings.
Pair it with a straw or rattan clutch and small gold hoops to keep the boho aesthetic consistent.
6. Rust Lace Maxi with Hat and Leather Belt
A tiered lace maxi in deep rust is a cozy choice for crisp October weather. The wide-brimmed tan hat and brown leather belt give it a structured touch while keeping it relaxed.
Finish the look with stacked bracelets or boots if you’re attending a ranch or barn-style celebration.
7. Mustard Wrap Dress with Puff Sleeves and Cowboy Boots
A mustard floral wrap dress with puff sleeves feels bold yet laid-back, especially when styled with classic brown cowboy boots.
The tied waist highlights your figure while the volume in the sleeves keeps it fun.
For accessories, go with natural textures—leather earrings or a suede clutch will feel right at home.
8. Denim Blue Fringed Midi with Embroidery and Suede Bag
A faded denim-blue dress with embroidered details and fringe at the hem hits all the right notes for a cozy, countryside wedding.
The V-neck and relaxed sleeves add a flowy shape, while the tan suede crossbody bag and brown boots complete the look in true boho spirit.
Ideal for midday outdoor ceremonies with a chill in the air.
9. Dusty Mauve Puff Sleeve Dress with Corset Detail
Want something romantic and feminine? A dusty mauve midi dress with corset-style lacing and puff sleeves brings a soft elegance to any fall event.
Style it with layered vintage necklaces and soft waves in your hair for a nostalgic touch.
10. Deep Green Maxi with Statement Jewelry
Make an entrance with a deep emerald green maxi dress featuring tiered layers and a plunging neckline.
The cinched waist keeps it flattering, while stacks of chunky boho bracelets and layered pendants bring that festival-meets-wedding energy.
This outfit works beautifully for tented receptions or forest venues.
11. Rust Puff Sleeve Maxi with Textured Fabric
For a moody fall evening wedding, go for a rust-colored maxi with dramatic puff sleeves and a deep V neckline.
The fabric has soft texture and tiny dotted details that bring the look to life under warm string lights or candles.
Add minimal jewelry and let your natural waves or curls add to the effortless vibe.
12. Chocolate Brown Floral Midi with Wide Waist Belt
If you’re attending a slightly dressier October wedding, try a chocolate brown floral midi with a structured wide belt at the waist.
The deep neckline and long sleeves strike the perfect balance between flirty and refined.
Go with nude heels or strappy sandals and keep accessories subtle, like a simple pendant or dainty studs.
13. Burnt Orange Handkerchief-Hem Dress with Boots
A burnt orange boho dress with a handkerchief hem and bell sleeves is made for a woodland wedding in peak fall.
The embroidered detail on the cuffs adds charm, and brown ankle boots ground the look in a cozy way.
Layer a few delicate necklaces to highlight the neckline, and you’re ready for golden hour.
14. Paisley Maxi Dress with Slit and Cowboy Boots
A mustard paisley spaghetti-strap maxi is a go-to for more rustic or barn-themed weddings.
The high slit adds a modern touch, while cowboy boots give it that easy country edge.
Finish it off with a slim belt at the waist and a short pendant necklace to tie the whole outfit together.
15. Ruffled Wine Mini Dress with Printed Duster
Planning to dance the night away? Go bold with a deep wine mini dress featuring ruffle trim and a sweetheart neckline.
The long patterned duster adds movement and color while giving a little coverage, and tan ankle boots keep it grounded.
A layered necklace or hoop earrings would complete this look perfectly.
