Planning a September 2 wedding in Rhode Island, Alyssa began researching online for wedding gowns on TheKnot.com when she came across Lea-Ann Belter’s Alyssa dress.

Alyssa (the bride, not the dress!) had “been looking for a lace dress with the sash and I adored this one. I was looking for a simple, classic, yet elegant dress.”

Rounding up her best friend, together they “drove over an hour to Meredith’s Bridal Boutique in Falmouth, MA and the moment I tried on the dress I knew it was the one!”

You could almost say Lea-Ann Belter’s gown had Alyssa’s name all over it!

Now married three years, when Alyssa saw us asking (begging) for pictures of our brides on our Facebook page, she sent them along, telling us how much she loved her gown. Even more exciting, Alyssa shared that she and Jerry’s family had grown since their 2007 wedding to include two children, Addison and Trevor.

In fact, Alyssa says that she “still adore(s) my dress and made sure to have it cleaned and sealed so *hopefully* Addison will one day wear it as well.”

We could not have asked for higher praise!
