WHAT IS A MERMAID WEDDING DRESS? WHAT IS A MERMAID SILHOUETTE?

MERMAID WEDDING DRESSES

Lace Mermaid Wedding Dress

A lace mermaid wedding dress is both bridal and sexy! Just take Stella York 7394, for example! The mermaid silhouette is pure magic. It features seaming through the low hip and a gentle, yet voluminous skirt that flares into a breathtaking shaped train.

Beaded spaghetti straps extend to the back of the gown, with a low keyhole detail at the base of the open back. These elements provide support with a touch of visual interest.

The sparkling bodice and skinny plunging neckline are delicate with a touch of sexiness. Sheer sides and strong floral lace patterns effortlessly grow over the dress’s silhouette.

This plus-size wedding gown effortlessly hugs the body, with a lining layer for all-day wearability. To bring the drama, the skirt flares out to a voluminous full train.

Long Sleeve Mermaid Wedding Dress

Long lace sleeves add a classic bridal touch to a mermaid wedding dress, and Wtoo Anastacia is proof. The plunging V-neckline and mermaid silhouette are so classically bridal.

The sheer cutouts and a bold open back add a chic, modern touch. Fabulous fabric-covered buttons on the cuffs add a timeless touch.

This wedding gown hugs the body’s beautiful curves, with the skirt flaring below the hips. The full train is so elegant and romantic, giving brides the ultimate walk down the aisle.

Off-The-Shoulder Mermaid Wedding Dress

Off-the-shoulder straps add a demure touch to the dramatic mermaid silhouette, as seen on LePapillon Orchidee. This wedding dress offers a timeless blend of daring sexiness and old-world romance. An organic sweetheart neckline and off-the-shoulder straps add a touch of classic femininity to the sheer bodice.

Laces seaming around the bust accentuate the corsetry-inspired look. The linear nature of these graphic lace designs cut in toward the waist and throughout the body to sculpt the figure. The elegant train flares gently from below the hips to enhance the figure-flattering silhouette for a striking wedding day statement.

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MERMAID AND TRUMPET WEDDING DRESSES? MERMAID AND FIT AND FLARE?

It’s all about the skirt! Trumpet and mermaid wedding dresses flare at different heights of the leg.

A trumpet wedding dress will flare at the thigh to elongate the legs, while mermaid wedding dresses flare at or below the knee. This cut makes for an even more dramatic silhouette and highlights the torso with a long bodice.

Fit-and-flare wedding dresses also have fitted bodices and flared skirts. The term “fit-and-flare” may be used to categorise a wide variety of gowns with these attributes.

Typically, fit-and-flare wedding gowns have the least dramatic flare of the three silhouettes. Following your natural curves, the flare begins just below the hip and gradually widens into a full, flowy skirt.

Do you have your heart set on this stunning silhouette? With so many gorgeous mermaid gowns to choose from, you’re sure to find your dream wedding dress. After all, any mermaid gown is sure to wow!
