Burnt Orange & Chocolate Brown Bridesmaid Dresses for Autumn Weddings

Autumn weddings were made for earthy, warm shades. While summer is all about pastels and bright florals, the cooler months bring out those rich tones that feel instantly cosy. Burnt orange has been a favourite for a few years now, but we’re also seeing cinnamon, terracotta and chocolate brown step into the spotlight for 2025. Together, these colours make the perfect bridesmaid palette for an autumn wedding.

Burnt Orange Bridesmaid Dresses

Burnt orange is bold, warm and just the right side of dramatic. It’s one of those colours that looks amazing on all skin tones and works beautifully with autumn backdrops - think golden leaves, rustic barns and candlelit receptions.

Our best selling Brooklyn Dress in Burnt Orange Satin is a great place to start. It’s modern, flattering and such an easy dress to wear. If you love the idea of bridesmaids wearing the same shade but different styles, burnt orange is a colour that photographs beautifully and stands out in the best possible way.

Cinnamon & Terracotta Bridesmaid Dresses

If burnt orange feels a little too vibrant, cinnamon and terracotta are softer alternatives. These shades lean more rustic and earthy, which makes them perfect for relaxed, countryside weddings. They also pair really well with neutral décor - think dried flowers, beige table linens and gold accents.

What’s great about these tones is how well they work together. You could dress some of your bridesmaids in burnt orange, others in terracotta, and the whole bridal party will still look completely pulled together.

Chocolate Brown Bridesmaid Dresses

Now for the newcomer: chocolate brown. Rewritten is launching chocolate brown bridesmaid dresses this autumn, and it’s set to be one of the biggest colour trends of the season. Chocolate is chic, versatile and just that little bit unexpected. Darker than terracotta but warmer than black, it feels sophisticated without being too formal.

It’s also a brilliant “neutral” within an autumn palette. Pair it with burnt orange for contrast, cinnamon for a tonal look, or even with champagne accessories if you want to lighten the overall vibe. We predict chocolate brown will become a go-to for brides who want something fresh but timeless.

One of the easiest ways to modernise your bridesmaid look is to mix and match colours. Burnt orange, cinnamon, terracotta and chocolate were practically designed to sit side by side. They create a warm, tonal palette that feels stylish but not overly “done”.
