Alexandra Daddarioand Andrew Form are married!
“I fell in love with Danielle Frankel’s dresses,” shetoldVogue. “I followed them on Instagram. They sent me a message, and we chatted, and when I went to their studio, I just felt beautiful in everything. I chose my dress because it felt like it belonged in New Orleans and was the right choice for the Louisiana heat.”
The dress,called the Scarlet and retailing for $9,990, is pleated silk wool with lace appliqués, spaghetti straps and a tulle train, making it light and breezy enough for the New Orleans weather. It paired seamlessly with Form’s Brunello Cucinelli pinstripe number, which Daddario, 36, called a “beautiful, not-too-serious” suit that he chose for the couple’s big day.

The bride wanted her whole beauty look to be heat-proof, though, which is why she even chose light accessories and effortless hair and makeup. “I wanted it to feel like it all worked in the heat too,” she toldVogue. “Nothing too heavy or serious.”
Their wedding, which took place at New Orleans' iconic Preservation Hall before moving further into the heart of the French Quarter, was casual from the jump, Daddario said. “Laid-back” was the theme she was going for, as well as authentic to New Orleans.
“We loved the look of Preservation Hall — it was so old, so historic, it lets its age and ‘flaws’ show,” shetoldVogue. “That’s what makes it so beautiful. We wanted it to be about music, drinking, and authentic New Orleans.”
But New Orleans wasn’t even the original plan. TheWhite Lotusactress wanted to get married in Italy so that she could “drink Italian wine for three days straight.” That all changed, though, when she landed a job that took her to New Orleans and reminded her of her friends' wedding in the same city.
“We switched it to New Orleans,” she said. “It’s a city full of music and life.”
She later shared with PEOPLE, “I feel very at peace with him and very happy, and I just feel very lucky.”
