Lace Mermaid Wedding Dress

Lace mermaid wedding dresses are just so timeless. They're always going to look good. They'll look even better with the backdrop and styling to match.

Actually, the brides below also prove they look good in a city venue...so, what we're saying is they'll look stunning whatever wedding style you're having! Build the wedding around the dress!

Elegant Mermaid Wedding Dress

The skirt flare of a mermaid wedding dress adds some drama to what would otherwise be a very sleek and sophisticated look, which is why they're perfect for traditional black-tie wedding celebrations. Choosing a satin mermaid wedding dress, an illusion lace material or something with subtle sparkles will also make your bridal outfit elevated and ready for those more luxe style wedding days.

Strapless and Off The Shoulder Mermaid Wedding Dress

These strapless and off the shoulder mermaid wedding dresses often have a sweetheart neckline. The sweetheart neckline works with the fitted nature of the dress to show off your curves in all their glory! This is a seriously sexy bridal look without showing off lots of skin. So, if a classy yet sexy vibe is for you go out and try on strapless sweetheart mermaid wedding dresses!
