Lexington brides discover fabulous wedding dresses from a haute-couture designer.

Lea-Ann Belter has, in just a few short years, become one of the most sought after designers of wedding dresses in the United States and Canada. Brides from Louisville, Lexington, and Indianapolis enjoy making the short trip to a Parisian-style boutique in Cincinnati's famous Reading Bridal District, where they experience a once-in-a-lifetime shopping experience from trained fashion experts. This remarkable bridal salon is the exclusive distributor in the Midwest for Lea-Ann Belter wedding gowns. The salon? European Bridal, which won Best of Cincinnati from no less than Vogue Magazine.

These amazing wedding dresses are handmade at the designer's atelier in Toronto, Canada, using the highest quality materials, including Dupioni silk and French Alençon lace. Every dress is hand-embroidered with beautiful beadwork and exquisite detailing. Personalized touches make each gown as unique as the woman who wears it.

The feel of heavy silk against skin. The sparkle of tiny hand-sewn crystals.
A hint of lace at the bodice. A long chapel train.
That moment when heads turn to see you for the first time.
