Mermaid Wedding Dress Styles - An Ongoing Trend

The mermaid silhouette has been a popular wedding gown silhouette option for many years, and the style isn’t losing any steam. Brides are still all about this feminine, fitted design, and we understand why this trend is not slowing down. Along with other timeless designs like the ball gown and A-line silhouettes, we believe the mermaid will soon be considered a classic. 

A mermaid bridal gown flawlessly hugs the hip area and accentuates natural curves before flaring out around the knee area creating the ‘mermaid’ look. This is the optimal silhouette for any bride looking to flaunt an emphasized hourglass figure. However, not all dresses of this design are created the same. Here at Val Stefani we have styles with various features and embellishments to create a wide range of different bridal looks. 

From long sleeve gowns to all-over lace, our collection of mermaid dresses is extensive. We put together a few of our favorite options to help provide some inspiration.
