According to the types of statistics that pop up on my Pinterest, Fall is the most popular time to get married. Which means there’s a good chance you may need a dress for this season.

Earlier this week I shared 3 easy holiday hairstyles and I have to admit – this one was my favorite. My hair stylist Sarah Rappolt and I pictured it being something perfect for a special occasion this Fall or holiday season, from a fancy Thanksgiving dinner to a date to see The Nutcracker to a December wedding invite. And this velvet floral dress seemed like the perfect pairing.

In a super flattering fit and heavy enough fabric to allow you a little bit of warmth this one is kind of a dream. Plus, I like that it feels like a romantic and subtle version of typical ‘red and green’ in soft rose and evergreen hues. Truth be told, I’ll likely be in this outfit on Thanksgiving day but if I can convince Adam to go see The Nutcracker with me this year – I’ll definitely be slipping back into this little number. And maybe even recreating this hairstyle that’s so deceptively simple I swear even an amateur like myself can do it.

While I attended the majority of this year’s weddings between June and August, I’ve got one more in October to round out my ‘5 weddings in 5 months’ situation (you can see what I wore to the others here and here). While it’s easy to find a pretty pastel or bright floral number for summer weddings, I wanted something that felt more seasonal for this final celebration. And I’m not sure anything could feel more like Fall than a gorgeous marigold lace midi dress and rich burgundy suede pumps. Just the thing to get me excited to cross the finish line of this year’s wedding season marathon.
