Fairytale Wedding Planning in the UK: The Mermaid Wedding Dress

I think every girl dreams of wearing a mermaid style wedding dress, also known as the fishtail dress. The mermaid style wedding dress has always been a popular choice for brides and continues to be.

Nowadays you will find many different designs of the mermaid style wedding dress that have been designed by different fashion designers across the world. You can choose from beautiful fabrics, beading, crystals, pearls, etc... the choice is endless!

The mermaid style dress elegantly fits closely, hugging into your body all the way down to your knees, then flares out creating a fishtail style design down to the floor.

The mermaid dress is the perfect choice for brides that want to show off their figure, feel sexy, glamourous, elegant, and is the dress that will most definitely show off your figure the most, making you feel like a Hollywood film star. They say it is one of the most daring designs a bride can choose.

Marcel Rochas was a french fashion designer who introduced the mermaid style dress to the fashion world in the 1930s. His hourglass styles were his trademark to the female form. Creating a feminine and glamourous design that would flaunt the curves you have and even give the illusion that you do, even if you haven't.

Many brides believe that you must have the perfect figure to wear the mermaid style dress when in actual fact this design can complement your figure.

If you have broad shoulders and a larger bust then the skirt that flares out will balance out your top half which creates the perfect silhouette - the hourglass. I believe that confidence comes from within, so if you want to try out the mermaid dress then don't shy away, give it a try!

We have put together a collection of some of our favourite mermaid style wedding dresses. I think you'll agree, they are so absolutely stunningly gorgeous.
