Mermaid wedding gowns are an excellent way to highlight your curves and make a splash while you walk down the aisle. They come with a full-coverage design or one that’s a bit sexier.
But even with that coverage – this kind of silhouette is made with sensuality in mind, as well as modern lines and crisp edges. Keep in mind this shape falls under the “fit-and-flare” category. It should be a bit more dramatic than a trumpet – but you’ll find varying levels of the flare.
Here are 10 of our favorite mermaid-style wedding dresses.

All of the details of this gown seem to be fit for Hollywood. It is intricately laced with transparent sequins, ivory beading, and small pearls. There are so many details involved in this design, it’s absolutely swoon-worthy.
The dress also features a deep straight neckline, off-the-shoulder straps, boning in the corset, and a silhouette that is absolutely sensual and sultry. There’s a draping under the waistline and a long train that is also with beaded lace details.
Truly, this gown is a work of art. And honestly, ready for more than just a walk down the aisle, as the description fits, it’s ready for the red carpet.

Jodi from Morilee is also ready to create a glam-filled moment. We love the simplicity of this gown. And how it gives such a great foundation for personalization.
This dress features perfectly placed seams, a modern angular neckline, a draped surplice detail, and a smooth silhouette that pays homage to the mermaid shape.
There is also versatility in the sizing as it goes up to a size 28, and comes in the neutral tone of ivory. We love it paired with the sleeves for an ultra rich look.

This design from Maggie Sottero features a classic Mermaid silhouette and all the texture and girlish charm you would want in a bridal dress.
Danielle features a sexy, deep V- neckline, floral lace, and comes in a variety of neutral tones including ivory, mocha, soft blush, and white.
Sizes are available from a size 0 to a 28, and although the dress comes with a sparkle tulle fabric you can change it out to plain if you want.
You can also add a detachable, off-the-shoulder ruched tulle and lace cap sleeves if you are in need or want some extra coverage.

Hayley Paige has the Lourdes gown up their sleeve and, “Good Lord,” we are in love! Everything about this design screams bridal but also screams sensuality and poise.
The classic mermaid silhouette truly accentuates the feminine body and this particular design also features a lot of other details that are super complimentary.
This includes the crepe, comfortable fabric, the strapless sweetheart bodice, and the crossover effect on the neckline as well.
Take notice that there is a matching veil that you can order that goes so nicely with the overall look.

And finally, Sirena finishes us off with the lace overlay of our dreams. Watters always has so many amazing dresses to choose from, they never disappoint.
This mermaid gown features unique, head-to-toe lace, floral cut-outs, and you have the option of ordering in a neutral ivory or a blush compliment.
Watters also makes their dresses even more accessible with the ability to order a true variety of sizes, lengths, and the made to order time is around 11 weeks – quite a bit of a shorter time period than you will find with other designers.
