How To Nail A Mermaid Wedding

Are you in search of a wedding style that would be difficult to replicate? We all want our special day to be just that, special. We don’t want it to be easy to copy, we want it to be our moment in the sun. Speaking of sun, a seaside or ‘mermaid’ wedding is an inherently glamorous wedding style. You’re right by the soothing waves, looking out across a beautiful blue ocean and the sun is high in the clear blue sky. The soft warm sand underneath your feet and the shimming sunlight on the horizon, really captivate how amazing your day is going to be. Mermaid weddings can look simple from the outside, but they are difficult to an executive just right. They share some similarities with a rustic outdoor wedding, but this style has a few quirks.

Merging with the ocean

A mermaid wedding is part of a handful of weddings whereby you could easily get away with not wearing a traditional wedding dress. You can afford to dress a little more informal. If you want to be barefoot while getting married, the hem needs to be shorter than average. You may want to avoid wearing a draping dress and instead go for a higher hemline with increased ruffles. For your bridesmaids, a turquoise dress would merge them with the ocean adding to your mermaid theme. Consider the Cocomelody sheath chiffon v-neck sleeveless dress for your bridesmaids. It has a high-waist with a long drape but made from lightweight fabric. The Cocomelody chic chiffon v-neck sleeveless midi dress would be perfect for a hot climate seaside wedding; such as in the Carribean.

The picturesque beach wedding

The best part about a mermaid style wedding is the view out towards the ocean. This should be the ceremony backdrop. The archway should be light, dainty and covered in a light fabric which sways in the wind. A see-through fabric in white or beige can be used as the platform to hang the archway flowers. The fabric should also be used to shape the archway under which you will take your vows. This will allow the priest or bishop to stand directly in the middle and thus give both the bride and groom the cue for where they should stand without overlapping one another. This is important because unlike a church, you have no real way of measuring equal distances and thus it can be a challenge. 

Under the sea

For your party, take advantage of the opportunity to cover your venue in decor from under the sea. Seashells, faux starfishes, blue-toned lighting, bubble chandeliers and tiny seahorses hung around the room would be such a night to remember. This theme would remind your guests of all the beautiful things from the sea. The table decor can be of a similar theme, such as using china plates with fish in the design and having a mermaid statue centerpiece that would remind them of your unique style. 

Beach weddings are unlike any other style. The location itself gets the heart fluttering, the gorgeous sunshine is pleasuring and you have great decor opportunities to wow your guests.
