Take the tradition of lace and pair it with the contemporary styles of a mermaid gown to create the most perfect bridal look! We love the lines of a mermaid silhouette and how it hugs a feminine frame so nicely. It helps create extremely flattering lines making a bride feel confidence in every inch of her skin.
For your vow renewal or second wedding, it’s okay to feel like a bride all over again. You don’t have to nix any bout of traditional value. And the gowns we’ve chosen to showcase today will do just that for you.

Claire is such an elegant and beautiful wedding gown perfect for brides renewing vows or taking a second chance at love. It fairs well for a variety of styles as well as women of all ages.
This Maggie Sottero design features an illusion lace halter neckline, a fit-and-flare silhouette, detachable lace sleeves, and can be ordered in ivory over blush or all ivory. We love the blush and its bout of unique appeal.
Pair it with or without a traditional veil. The gown is really accessible and can come in a variety of sizes and personalization options such as ordering buttons down the back, remove the train for easier mobility, or lining the sweetheart bodice.

A classic, lace gown with cap sleeves and a gorgeous, mermaid silhouette, this design is a timeless bridal pick. Not only will you be showing off every curve in an elegant way but you’ll feel comfortable and confident within the dress.
Everything about this dress speaks to the bridal heart – which is why we have gushed about this gown before! There’s an element of tradition but its paired nicely with the right amount of sophistication and sensuality.
Pair it with a long, cathedral veil for a timeless look – and one that you’ll be able to hold close to your heart in comfort and timeless aesthetics.

This gown can go in so many different directions from runway ready with a couture spirit, romantic bohemian vibes, or even more traditional stylings.
Liv from Watters will easily compliment the curves of a feminine figure, including mini puff gauntlets, and gorgeous lace appliques. It comes in ivory and blush or ivory upon ivory – and can be ordered in a variety of lengths including petite, regular, and tall.
We love the unique veil shown in the photo but we also know that this kind of lace gown can be personalized and styled to fit a variety of wedding themes and visions. From garden venues to posh hotels ballrooms, it blends nicely.

If plain lace reminds you of your Grandma’s tablecloth, you may skip trying on lace gowns. But we are here to tell you there are so many new lace patterns that don’t look old fashioned.
For example, the Anastasia gown from Sottero and Midgely is made with the most beautiful metallic lace. A silhouette that hugs the body, and a sheer illusion back and long sleeves are modern design elements that elevate your sense of style.
And the fabric covered buttons add a touch of romance and tradition. This is absolutely nothing like Grandma’s tablecloth, right?

Cosette is great for our more contemporary brides – those that love crisp lines and beautiful structure. It’s a two-piece design that will be both comfortable and beautiful for your second time around.
This Willowby design features two gorgeous separates that create one single ensemble, it includes strategically placed Aspen lace, girlish ruffle sleeves, an open back, a fluted skirt, and a flowing train.
It creates a unique combination of modern bohemian flair that we’ve easily fallen in love with.

Here’s another fun, lacey gown with a mermaid silhouette that we’ve fallen for. It includes traditional details but paired together it has quite the unique feeling.
Calvin features a complimentary mermaid shape, beautifully hand-placed lace, a plunging neckline detail, and detachable puff sleeves for an extra bout of festivity and charm.
Pair this gown with an extra-long veil and some pearl earrings. You can also nix the sleeves and go barefoot on the beach in this beautiful number. It fits so many beautiful body types and flatters them all.

This affordable and gorgeous gown from David’s Bridal is the quintessential wedding day style. We love the glowing, neutral hue and how you can dress this style up or down depending on the formality of your day.
Style CWG192 features a strapless and plunging sweetheart neckline, ornate lace appliques, two layers of tulle, and a gorgeous mermaid silhouette.
We love the ivory and cashmere color combo, but know that it comes in a traditional all-ivory design as well. Pair with a veil and you’ll be ready to rock the aisle.

This gown feels like a Hollywood red carpet choice and we are here for it. It is a more modern choice for our more sophisticated brides.
This design features stunning beaded straps, lace and tulle that hugs the body beautifully, sequins in all the right places, a plunging sweetheart neckline, and a heavy pattern that is so interesting to look at as well as photograph.
If you are creating a more formal event to celebrate your vow renewal, destination affair, or even your second time down the aisle – this is the gown you should slip into for a try.
Anthropologie, Azalea

Anthropologie always has so many accessible, affordable options for our brides. And this is no exception. Rish’s Azalea gown fits that lace mermaid vision with ease.
This gown features a classic V-neckline with an extra dip of drama, a low open back, delicate lace appliques, and pairs beautifully with the baby breath veil that can be found on site.
There’s a vintage air about this gown that we are in love with as it pays homage to both traditional wedding style and fashion of the past. The gown comes in a neutral ivory shade and looks good with an easy strappy block heel.
