Yesterday we featured Lea-Ann Belter Bridal in our “Everyone’s Talking About” column. Lea-Ann will personally be attending her trunk show tomorrow at Promise…for the savvy bride (Bethesda, MD) to advise brides, take measurements, and help you select that perfect gown.
Okay, so after I spent an hour drooling over the gowns on her website, I decided to push back what I had originally planned to feature today, and instead bring you lots and lots of Lea-Ann Belter eye candy.
I really couldn’t pick just two or three dresses — they are all so beautiful. So…I give you…the entire Lea-Ann Belter 2009 Bridal Collection. Forget about work for a minute (or sixty)… These dresses are just that gorgeous. Enjoy!
Lea-Ann Belter Bridal: “Bridget“
Lea-Ann Belter Bridal: “Carolina“
Lea-Ann Belter Bridal: “Drew“
Lea-Ann Belter Bridal: “Edie“
Lea-Ann Belter Bridal: “Genevieve“
Lea-Ann Belter Bridal: “Kate“
I just can’t get enough of these gorgeous gowns! The model is stunning, almost ethereal. The boat — Oh, how I adore that boat! The water, the trees… It all makes me long for summer at the lake…
Lea-Ann Belter Bridal: “Paige“
Lea-Ann Belter Bridal: “Madison“
If you grew up going to the lake as a child, or if you just love boating in the summer, I would really consider having a bridal portrait taken on your dock, or in your boat. These photes are timeless and elegant, but still fresh and playful…just like the dresses. Ohhh. I love them!
Lea-Ann Belter Bridal: “Nicole“
Lea-Ann Belter Bridal: “Roslyn“
Lea-Ann Belter Bridal: “Suzette“
Falling in love with these gowns? Make an appointment to try them on! Tomorrow Lea-Ann Belter is having a trunk show at Promise…for the savvy bride. Trials are by appointment only. Call Promise…for the savvy bride at 301.215.9232 to make yours!
Lea-Ann Belter Bridal: “Tess“
Lea-Ann Belter Bridal: “Avery“
WOW. That was a lot of bridal gowns…but so worth it. If you see one you particularly love, jot down the name or print it out and take it with you!
A little about Lea-Ann and her designs…
Since her start in 1989, Lea–Ann has been committed to elegant simplicity in design. Sophisticated lines and understated details distinguish her gowns from the ordinary. To ensure a perfect fit, she requires more measurements than any other designer. She refuses to have her gowns manufactured off shore because she must oversee the workmanship herself. Each gown is entirely reverse–stitched and fully lined in silk. The fabric touching your skin during the most important day of your life is as fine and soft as the fabric your gown is crafted in — you could really wear the gown inside out if you wanted to.
The details of a Lea–Ann Belter gown do not dazzle, they seduce. Hand–sewn pearls, Austrian crystals and soft delicate embroidery whisper softly of taste and elegance. Lea–Ann works closely with her textile mill in India and has even designed some of her own fabrics such as beautiful silk brocades and softly colored dupioni silks.
Brides across the world seek out the beautifully crafted Lea–Ann Belter collection for a myriad of reasons — simple and elegant designs, incredible attention to detail, workmanship equal to or better than that of the creations from the runways of Paris. Lea–Ann Belter’s wedding designs are simply beautiful. (from www.lea-annbelter.com)
