Fall wedding guest attire has taken it up a notch as more and more couples are choosing to say "I do!" against the backdrop of those stunning autumn colours. Angie Miller, principal proprietor of The Little Black Dress, Toronto-based personal shoppers and image consultants, offers her expert advice for looking uber-stylish at your next set of fall nuptials.

Smokey Eyes: While the eye makeup technique is nothing new, Miller says using colours that are unexpected, like moss greens or teal blues and then pairing them with a nude lipstick, makes for a very fashion-forward look.

One Shoulder Dresses: Draped or one shoulder dresses in a loose fit are really hot and when it comes to length, just below the knee is your best bet if you want to score stylish points, says Miller.

Burst of Colour: Fuschia, royal blue or emerald green dresses are extremely popular not to mention being "stunning and unexpected" says Miller.

Faux Fur: While Miller cautions against being too ostentatious at a wedding, she says it may be fun to try a faux-fur trimmed purse or hat. 

Statement Purse: A jewelled clutch is something that’s very trendy and pulls the outfit together, says Miller, adding satin fabrics in metallic colours are the most popular base for this blingy accessory. "The purse can act as your jewelry and makes the outfit if you don’t want to go too overboard with your dress," she says.

Moody Bling: Darker or moody jewelry, like Onyx or rhinestones and crystals can also add a bit of drama to your fall wedding attire, says Miller.
