As you may have noticed, we signed off last Wednesday with our last feature of 2014. For the coming week we will be on break as we continue celebrating with family & friends! But with the coming of 2015 also comes a season of reflection, so we thought we should take a moment to say "thank you!" Our hearts are overflowing with the blessings that came our way in 2014. Especially the ones from our dear Bayside readers and vendors - yes, you. You who helped build this little blogging family!

Thank you to the readers in Maryland and beyond for your comments, questions and advice. Our Facebook posts and daily blogging wouldn't be the same without you! Thank you to the vendors who send in beautiful work, the vendors who share tips and advice for local brides and all 100+ vendors listed in our vendor guide. This Chesapeake region of ours just wouldn't be the same without your talent and big dreams! We are continually inspired by you & look forward to cultivating more creative relationships in the new year!

2015 will be magnificent, we just know it! As always, we would love to hear from you! If you have an article you'd like to see on the site, if you'd like to share something that worked really well for your wedding or if you just want to give us a shout and tell us you think we're awesome (yes, we love affirmation!), we'd love for you to send an email to [email protected]. We'll see you next week!

Born abroad, but raised as a Maryland girl through and through, Rebekah knew that her love for weddings made her a perfect fit for the Bayside Bride team. After interning for the blog in Fall of 2011 she worked hard to finish her degrees in English & Media and Communications at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Graduated and ready to return, she wants nothing more than to pass her love of event planning & weddings onto brides-to-be.
