I had two weddings to go to in October, one for a cousin and the other for a friend I've had since I was very young. This is what I wore to my cousin's wedding up in Newport, Rhode Island. It was a chilly and windy day on the island so I needed this sweater to not freeze. Luckily the tent the reception was held in had heaters and we were seated right next to one, perfection!
The wedding was lovely and the bride's dress was GORGEOUS! I wish I could show you all a photo. My cousin married a very stylish woman, which I appreciate. The location was the Eisenhower House at Fort Adams State Park.
I chose one of my favorite dresses that sadly doesn't get out that much because it's pretty dressy. I bought this Burberry London dress in Net-a-Porter's End of Season sale in 2012 and it has been worn to two (I think) weddings before this. One in July and the other in June. This was it's first Fall outing. I paired it with low block heels since we would be in the grass and topped it with a simple black cardigan. If we weren't going to be in the grass I may have opted for a higher, thinner heel. But I like how it looks with these Lanvin sandals.
Dress: Burberry London printed silk chiffon dress (Net-a-Porter), Sandals: Lanvin studded leather 'City' sandal (The RealReal), Cardigan: Banana Republic Italian Cashmere-Blend Boyfriend Cardigan (shop cardigans), Italian Leather Bag: shop mini bags, Simple Pearl Necklace c/o AUrate

That is a really lovely dress for a fall wedding, the colours a perfect! And that house also looks like a pretty amazing location for a wedding.

The dress is certainly perfect for a fall wedding, and I think anyone having an outdoor wedding in October is truly tempting fate! Sounds like it was a wonderful wedding though!
