What I'd Buy From Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale for Fall Weddings as BRIDES' Shopping Editor

I know, I know—thinking about fall weddings feels premature as we're barely into July. However, as BRIDES' shopping editor, I know how quickly new-season items come in stock and how rapidly fall wedding invitations start showing up in your mailbox amid your likely already-hectic summer wedding season. Thankfully, Nordstrom is one of BRIDES' many trusted retailers for all things weddings. Whether you're shopping for mother-of-the-bride dresses, wedding shoes, or anniversary gifts, the site is already stocking up on fall wedding essentials for guests and brides alike.

The retailer's renowned Anniversary Sale is fast approaching, with shoppers preparing to save on brands like Stuart Weitzman, Tumi, NuFACE, and FARM Rio. However, these discounts are currently available to Nordy Club cardmembers only until the official start date on July 12. These deals on wedding guest dresses, comfortable heels, chic clutches, and more will make your fall wedding season shopping easier. And, as someone who practically shops for a living, I've already scoured the site and curated a list of the best options that you'll want to add to your cart before they sell out. Ahead, my BRIDES editor-approved picks.
