Take a Bow: Spotlight on detail for a showstopping dress
Laela takes the classic ballgown in a new direction with a bold bow, button detail, and a cathedral train. This Stella York dress has a deceptively simple front with princess seams that give way to a subtly sexy side “v” that adds interest and a modern twist to the clean lines of the front. The bare back and large bow detail elevate this dress to an instant classic.
We imagine this dress in a stunning outdoor ceremony surrounded by lush greenery, minimalist floral arrangements and luxe lighting.
Country Chic: Modern fabric and classic detail meet a vintage silhouette
A little country and a whole lot of chic describes Monroe’s style. This Lillian West dress is down home and upscale at the same time. The vintage-inspired chiffon sleeves and high waist embrace the country feel while the crepe skirt with a high slit is chic and current. This dress is the perfect bled for the bride who loves to blend a casual style with a modern twist.
Barn wedding venues are in high demand, and this dress would really shine against a backdrop of weathered wood and bright wildflowers.
Tulle Amore: Glamorous shimmer and modern structure with a dreamy quality
Utterly romantic describes Inessa perfectly. This Adore by Justin Alexander dress is sweet, sensual, textured, subtle, and bold all at the same time. The patterned layer and deep “v” neckline are daring and current, the full tulle layer with tiny pleats is classic and adds interest to the gown. Pairing the silhouette and fabrics together creates a whimsical, standout dress.
This dress is so versatile, it would be just as iconic for a bride surrounded by poinsettias and candlelight for a winter church wedding as it would for a bride framed by dahlias and saffron curtains in a midsummer beachside wedding.
Legendary Luxe: Lace and crepe are so haute together
Sutherland is glamorous in every way. Allure Bridal outdid themselves with this catwalk-worthy design. Everything about this dress is luxurious. The crepe fabric is layered over with lace, exposed boning in the back ties in the lace cutouts in the train, and removable sleeves provide a high level of versatility to this stunning gown.
The elegance and glamor of this dress would certainly suit a rooftop wedding amid the Detroit skyline, or a sophisticated loft wedding overlooking the Grand River.
Bubbly and Blooming: Bohemian floral detail with layers and layers of tulle
This dress by Essence of Australia is overflowing with charm. Inez is embracing the fun of being in her bride era. This dress is effervescent, floating down the aisle with free spirited excitement. The layers of tulle give this A-line dress a full quality without going all the way to ball gown level. The floral detail is sweet and playful while the deep “v” neck, high slit and exposed boning add a vintage boudoir flavor to the gown.
We can see this dress adorning a boho Bride in a garden ceremony surrounded by fairy lights and peonies.
Irresistible: A modern ball gown with gorgeous draping and texture
Portia is unstoppable: this Abella dress radiates confidence. The subtle texture, and lustrous sheen of the Mikado fabric makes this dress an instant classic. The draped bodice has the timeless feel of a renaissance statue. The high slit keeps the ball gown silhouette current and bold. The bride in this dress knows exactly what she wants and nothing will stop her from achieving it.
We can see a bride in this dress captivating everyone from the dancefloor of an Art Gallery venue.

Top Wedding Dresses with Impeccable Fall Vibes
As the leaves turn and a chill sets in, we’re cozying up with some fabulous autumnal wedding dresses to suit your fall wedding aesthetic.
Fall weddings are especially romantic, with golden light, rich textures, and deep colors emphasizing the magical feel of being in love. Whether you’re planning to celebrate surrounded by Michigan’s foliage, or host a destination wedding to capture autumn’s bounty far afield, fall is a gorgeous season for a wedding.
An ideal wedding dress is one that makes you feel beautiful and in harmony with the vibe of your event. Autumn weddings are full of charm. Fall adds a layer of magic and mystery to any setting, and you can embrace that seasonal ambiance to amplify your style. From flowing and bohemian to sleek and minimalistic, the dress you choose will add your signature flavor to your special day.
We’re going to explore our top picks for this romantic season and help you “fall” in love with the right dress for you. Look for our selections on Instagram and Facebook (and share your favorite!) and read more about these phenomenal dresses below.
Bohemian Free-Spirit: Vintage-Inspired Lace with a Modern Flow
Love, beauty, and freedom would be Asha’s mantra. This Lillian West dress is all about flow. The botanically inspired lace flows down from the exposed boning of the bodice, skimming in a flowing layer over the skirt and runs along the edge of the subtle-yet-sassy slit. The detachable sleeves add both a romantic and practical element for fall, giving you the option to play up the drama and romance of the style, or embrace the freedom of a strapless gown. We picture the bohemian bride in her element surrounded by glorious autumn leaves in a rustic-chic venue.

Old World to New World: The Shimmer of Organza
Oakley takes old world charm and infuses it with modern sophistication. Indulgent fabric in a classic ballgown silhouette with little modern details makes this gown current without losing its dreamy quality. The puffed sleeve separates push into the old-world elegance while the cowl neckline over exposed boning pulls toward Hollywood glamour. This dress strikes a perfect balance for the bride who loves the contrast of old and new. We imagine this dress with gilded vintage furniture and harvest bounty décor in a concrete and glass venue.
She’s a Star: Showstopping Texture with a Maximalist Silhouette
Who doesn’t want to steal the spotlight on their wedding day? Vega takes “ballgown” to a whole new level. Brocade absolutely feels like fall; rich, warm, textured, and enchanting. The incredible draping, structured bodice, detachable off-the-shoulder wrap, make this gown an incredible option for the bride who loves a red-carpet entrance. This dress would be as at home in a Cathedral wedding as it would in a vintage Movie Palace Theatre venue. We can see a dramatic kiss photo in front of your chosen venue with autumn leaves providing the confetti!
Who’s Who in the Great Lakes: Lace and Luxe Minimalism
New England, eat your heart out. Michigan’s incredible fall color draws people from far and near to experience its brilliance, and Hollis brings that old money ‘who’s who’ sophistication to a Michigan bride’s autumn wedding. This sleek silhouette’s high neck is on-trend and sheath shape is absolutely timeless. The lace is luxurious and romantic, while the cut of the dress is classy and minimalistic. We can see a bride in this dress on the porch of the Grand Hotel during peak color season sipping Champagne as the sun sets over the Straits.
This dress is a beauty, with or without the beast! Rey is a gorgeous dress for a fall wedding, with just a nod to fantasy inspiration. The details elevate this dress. The satin of this gown is rich and textured with just a hint of shine. There are buttons all the way down the back to the train. The structured bodice and off the shoulder ‘sleeves’ are beautifully draped. An A-line silhouette makes this a statement piece without the extra drama (and heavy fabric!) of a full ballgown shape. The sweetheart neckline and hidden slit make this gown subtly sexy. The bride in this fantastic dress would look radiant lit by autumn’s early setting sun slanting through stained glass windows.
Upcoming Lillian West Trunk Show: Your chance to find a Fall Wedding Dress like no other.
We are hosting an incredible trunk show of the newest Lillian West collection on November 8th and 9th. We’re excited to be able to share a sneak preview of our picks for up-and-coming Fall wedding dresses from the designer’s newest looks! If any of these strike your fancy, be sure to book an appointment for the trunk show!
Old Hollywood Glamour: Sleek Silhouette with Dramatic Detail
Don’t let the understated cut of this dress deceive you, 66357 is a real starlet. A peekaboo sweetheart neckline, cowl draping on the bodice, incredible statement train, separated sleeves, and rich crepe fabric make this gown an A-list wedding dress. We can see a bride in this dress waving to her adoring family and friends from a red carpet of sugar maple leaves in a stunning outdoor ceremony.
A Daring Darling: Bold Lace and Thrilling Tulle
For the bride with a love of all things adventurous 66378 is a statement in glorious, sparkling lace. The full, layered tulle skirt is filled with lace and sequin detail. The plunge neckline and exposed boning are striking and create a flattering fit for brides of all different sizes. We imagine a bride in this dress dancing the night away at a vineyard venue with late harvest Riesling and a stargazing station.
Sweet, Romantic Renegade: Sheer Color and Vintage Sparkle
Fall neutrals are very on-trend and 66366 is a dreamy, romantic, neutral colored dress. The gorgeous white tulle with sequined lace applique covers the wheat-colored dress with botanical-inspired detail and sparkle. The earthy undertone to this dress gives just a hint of rebellion in an otherwise soft and sweet style. This dress is ideal for the bride who loves the romantic nature of Fall but wants to bring a fresh take to the season. We can envision this dress in a chic barn venue with crystal chandeliers, white linen, ombre florals, and a live band.
High and Low, Haute and Cool: Long Sleeved Lace with a Sensual Twist
Chill temperatures often encourage Fall brides to opt for sleeves, and 66365 brings the heat with a plunging neckline beneath a high mandarin collar and long sleeves of high-end Alencon Lace. The heat doesn’t stop there, a high slit and keyhole back continue the sensual flavor of this fabulous gown. We can imagine a bride embracing the magic of autumn with a sunset lakeshore ceremony.
