Few things say autumn more than yellow leaves—and this dress is a perfect match. Complement the fall setting with a mustard-yellow dress.

Deputy Digital Director, Emily Goldman has this in white (which you obviously do not want to wear to a wedding, of course) but loves it for its flattering shape and lightweight fabric. It’s a European linen material, so it’ll work wonders for early fall weddings. The square-neckline and A-line silhouette look great on just about any body type. Meanwhile, the adjustable straps and smocked-back detail make for a super comfy fit.

With over 10,000 ratings and 4.2 stars, this vintage-inspired tea dress is perfect for a fall wedding.
