The day has come! Along with the girls from Bayside Bride, we’re so excited to announce the winners of the Chesapeake Bridal Awards!

We were absolutely stunned, blown away, AMAZED at the amount of nominations we received for these awards. We knew that the Chesapeake area’s wedding vendors are a pretty awesome bunch, but we could not have anticipated the amount of love everyone showed when nominating their favorite vendors! So what now, you ask? Well if you see your name below, congratulations! Us along with the editors of Bayside Bride will be contacting all of the winners and nominees within the next month. Please do not contact us; we will contact you! It will help keep this process smooth and as fast as possible. :)
