Autumn wedding guest dresses from Phase Eight that we love

With stunning backdrops, cooler temperatures and a more intimate feeling overall - it’s unsurprising that more brides and grooms countrywide are choosing to hold their nuptials later in the year¹. 

For guests, the perfect wedding guest dress for an autumn wedding in the UK should balance style, comfort and practicality. After all, we need something that keeps us cool, but not so cold during group photos taken outside. But also, the right material should be worn to prevent overheating indoors. It should be versatile and able to accommodate layers for temperature changes, too. And with autumn’s palettes, you’ll likely find yourself swaying towards hues of red, orange, brown and green to match the season’s palette.
