Can I get a dress designer to re-create a gown for me that I love but is unavailable?

I really love this gown, but I can only get it in europe, and I would prefer to try it on and have some input, will an aussie dress designer be offended by having to essentially mimic someone else's design?

How do I match my shoes to my dress?

I'm not sure what kind of shoes will suit my dress. I am wearing a classic style gown and don't want a big heel. I want to be comfortable! I would prefer a neutral colour. Any advice on what types of shoes to go with? Peep toe/kitten heel? Any help would be much appreciated!

Can the videographer also just take a video of the entire ceremony start to finish?

Can the videographer take a video of the ceremony on a tripod but also do a edited mash up of the entire day? Or will this greatly increase the price? I love the edited videos, but would also like to remember our vows etc in their entirety. Thanks

How does one handle someone bringing a baby to a kids-free wedding?

I didn't know what category to put this in, but my partner and I opted for a totally child-free wedding however we have a guest who has simply decided her grandchild ( a 23week baby) will be coming along - without asking anyone! The parents are invited to the wedding but only one set of grandparents. I know the other set is available to babysit (and would be delighted to) but the guest is simply insisting that the baby will just come along (and note - it's not the mother insisting, it's the grandmother). How do I have a conversation with her or at least my M-I-L (it's her cousin) to let her know that it is our wish NOT to have children attend - and there are other couples that are respecting these wishes! I think it's rude both to us and those guests that have respected our wish to simply assume that this is ok.
