Nicole Miller Silk Cap Sleeve Wedding Gown

We recently had a fun photo session with a local Alamedan, photographer Maurice Ramirez. He truly captured the demure yet flirtatious sensuality of this Nicole Miller silk wedding gown.

The cap sleeve can also be worn sexily, slipped off the shoulder. Nicole Miller's trademark rusching emphasizes the bust and waist, at the same time concealing any imperfections. This is just one of twenty luscious gowns you can try.

Check out some of the other great shots taken in the store on Maurice's blog.
