JD Scott, the older brother ofDrew and Jonathan Scott,is gettingmarried this fall, and his bride-to-be,makeup artist Annalee Belle,has finally found the perfect dress!
During her bachelorette/wedding dress shopping weekend in Las Vegas in March, Belle and a handful of her closest friends and family including her future sister-in-law, Drew’s wifeLinda Phan,hit up several stores before the bride-to-be found “the one.”
“The first dress shop was very much not my cup of tea,” she says. “They had tons and tons of dresses, but there was literally not a single one that I really loved when I touched it or looked at a photo of it.
After doing a bit more shopping, Belle arrived at Brilliant Bridal where she instantly found the perfect gown for her walk down the aisle.

“No kidding, the very first dress I tried on was the one,” she says. “I felt gorgeous in it and once I looked at it in the mirror while standing on the podium I started crying. When they added the veil I wanted, I cried again. For the sake of wanting to make sure, I tried on several more dresses, but I did end up choosing that first one for my ceremony dress.”
While she’s keeping the details under wraps, Belle says her dress is the “perfect mix of classy, sexy, fierce, feminine, dreamy and daring.” And, it will be anything but ordinary. “Clearly anyone who sees me or knows me can tell I don’t like traditional anything.”
Even after she said Yes to the Dress, the future Mrs. Scott says her bridal party still wanted to keep the fun going.
“They decided to have me try one last dress on and even though it wasn’t something I would ever actually wear for a wedding, they kept asking me if I liked it,” she says. “I told them yes, and I thought it was pretty for an event, just not a wedding. So, without telling me, they purchased that dress and had me wear it for the rest of the day!”
