PLEASE - someone tell me the designer/season of the steel grey dress worn by the bride!! Love this shoot; nothing says antique rich romance like nola..

Thanks for all the sweet words everyone!
Hillary-the white strapless gown is by Laundry and is only $300!
Hilary & Katie-the steel gray dress was from a little boutique in town called Pied Nu...try calling them.
and the green/turquoise shoes were the bride's own...
I'm going to try to get more details for you all...And Rachel, what I do: yes! I select the attire/accessories, but also collaborate on the look and feel of it all, locations, colors, direct the hair and make up, and I arrange/tweak everything.
Thanks again everyone! It was so much fun to do!

the turquoise shoes are Italian, made by Vero Cuolo.
