The mermaid gown is one of the most classic bridal silhouettes, and while trends may come and go, the mermaid gown is forever.
There’s no one way to do a mermaid, but here’s a rundown of our 7 favorite mermaid bridal gowns – one for each of the seas!
A glamorous gown with fun movement through the skirt, this Lillian West Fall 2016 gown is a blank canvas for the mermaid bride.
Chantilly lace with lace illusion back, this gown is a beautiful, delicate, light-weight contemporary take on the traditional lace mermaid wedding dress.
Many consider bridal designer Sophia Tolli to be the queen of the mermaid gown, and Begonia is one of the dresses that earned her that title. With a lightly beaded lace bodice, a detachable rhinestone belt, and a scalloped lace hemline, this dress is perfection from top to bottom.
A modern interpretation of classic lace like only Justin Alexander can, this gown shimmers subtly from a layer of opal sequence laid under the lace applique.
The minimalist mermaid gown with immaculate design and construction, this silk crepe wedding dress can by styled up or left simple to celebrate less is more. Available with or without front slit.
While not a traditional mermaid silhouette with exaggerated flair at the thigh, we included this gown because it exudes the mermaid spirit – the beaded white sequence in the bodice evokes fish scales, and the skirt flairs into a flowing chiffon. We love this modern interpretation of the mermaid gown!
With embellished lace, a gorgeous illusion back, and a multi-layered organza skirt, Aprilia has all the elements of glamorous mermaid wedding gown.
The whimsical, bohemian world of Rembo Styling was alive and well at NY Bridal Week. With some of the most unique lace and delicate construction on display, their Fall 2016 line showcases incredible low backs and creative plays on fabric pairing and detailing.
We are always so stoked to talk about our wedding dresses on Living808 (mostly because we get to see the fabulous Trini ♥)

If you missed the Midweek post, or wanted to see more, here’s a photo collage of our photoshoot at Koolau Ballrooms. Gowns by 100% Made in USA designer Palazzo Bridal.
A look inside Nicole Miller headquarters with Kumi and Zoe.
Jane White, designer of Palazzo bridal, is a humble genius. When it comes to the two most important aspects of a wedding dress – look and feel – her gowns score 11 out of a possible 10 on both counts. Here’s a peak into the deceiving “simplicity” that requires the highest level of precision, which she can execute because all her gowns are hand crafted locally outside of her Chicago home. We see a lot of dresses, but these ones almost made us cry. (Update: see our Ko’olau Ballrooms Palazzo photo shoot.)
New York designer Nicole Miller delivers all the grace and simplicity she’s famous for in her 2015 Bridal collections. What you’ll see from her Fall 2015 Bridal collection? – new plays on low back wedding dresses, some incredible work with illusion neck and backlines, and some fun short wedding dress styles.
