Flattering Mermaid Wedding Dresses for the Siren Bride

There are so many gorgeous silhouettes to consider for your bridal look. An easy-breezy sheath? So comfy. A romantic A-line? Versatile and timeless. A glitzy ballgown? Enchanting and regal. But what about the most glamorous, curve-enhancing, and fabulous of all, a form-fitting mermaid style? The charisma is just undeniable. If you’re in the market for mermaid wedding dresses and dreamy accessories, look no further than our latest collections. We’ve compiled our new favorites below!

What is a Mermaid Wedding Dress?

Ah, mermaids. (One of our favorites!) With a mermaid silhouette, the bodice is fitted with the skirt cut seam flare starting at or below the knee. With the longer fitted bodice, this creates an hourglass figure. It is meant to be snug from the bust down to below the hip and bum. (A lot of brides call this the “booty bam!” They love this shape because it plays up their natural curves.) Intimidated by a mermaid silhouette? Don’t be! Read our blog on How To Look and Feel Your Best In A Mermaid Wedding Dress for expert insights on shopping, styling, and personalizing your look. 

Another wedding gown silhouette that is often grouped in with mermaids is the fit-and-flare silhouette. Fit-and-flare wedding dresses hug the body from the bodice to the hips, then flare out at mid-thigh instead of at the knee. It accentuates curves beautifully with its striking skirt. This silhouette also often flaunts a dramatic train, which makes it a staple among our brides who want to amp up the drama! This is a great option for the bride who would rather accentuate her bodice, especially her waist, rather than her hips. It is also an extremely comfortable silhouette to wear at any time of the year and is very easy to walk (and dance!) in.
