Styling Tips for Elegant Mermaid Wedding Dresses (2024)

Consider Shoes and Veil

For a mermaid wedding dress with sleeves, such as Gilda by Nicole Milano, sleek and elegant heels are an excellent choice to elongate your silhouette. If you prefer a longer veil, go for a style that complements the shape of the dress without overwhelming it. A fingertip-length or chapel-length veil can enhance your bridal look without detracting from the dress's unique design.

Hairstyle: Updos or Loose Curls

When it comes to hair styling, two classic options beautifully complement mermaid-style wedding dresses. Updos, such as a low chignon or a sleek bun, can showcase the dress's intricate details and neckline. This hairstyle also helps to emphasise the elegance of the gown. Alternatively, if you prefer a softer look, opt for loose curls. This hairstyle adds a touch of romance and whimsy, perfectly matching the feminine silhouette of a mermaid dress.

Seek Personalised Styling Advice

While these tips provide general guidance, every bride is unique, and personalised styling advice can make a world of difference. Consulting with professionals, such as the bridal boutique consultants at Penrith Bridal Centre, can help you determine the best accessories and hairstyles that complement your mermaid wedding dress.
