What an exciting week! An unexpected snowstorm, the Ravens are about to head into the Superbowl and we’re announcing the winners of the Chesapeake Bridal Awards!
We were absolutely blown away by the number of nominations and votes we received and we had so much fun hosting these awards with the Charm City Wed girls! The winners are truly some of the most talented in the area and if you’re a bride still searching for vendors, we can’t recommend the ones below enough!
So without further adieu, we are pleased to announce the winners of the Chesapeake Bridal Awards below. All of the winners were chosen through Facebook voting and all winners and nominees will be notified by the editors of Bayside Bride and Charm City Wed within the next month to coordinate prizes. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US, we’ll contact you. Harsh? Maybe. But there are a whole lot of winners out there and if we contact you, it helps us keep the process streamlined and manageable.
