Dear Annapolitan Readers,
2011 has been a year of monumental moments! In May, I graduated my beloved alma mater and commissioned into the US Army. Shortly after, I married my best friend on a day that was made so beautiful and special by Intrigue Design & Decor and all the other Locals We Love that were there!. Little did I know that a few months later, my friends, Sarah and Melissa, would approach me about starting a new blog, called Annapolitan Bride. On August 15th, the blog made its debut. Here we are, 4 1/2 months later, wrapping up 2011 and reflecting on how much has happened!
As the New Year approaches, Annapolitan Bride will be taking a short hiatus in order to prepare for 2012! Check back on January 1st for a blog makeover and the start of an exciting year full of inspiration and real Annapolitan Weddings!
In the meantime, to satisfy your Annapoltian cravings, check out 10 of our favorite posts thus far! We wish you all a happy end to the Holiday season and a joyous start to the New Year!
Love and Happiness,

{Annapolitan Weddings – Noel & Lee}
Never has a bride’s smile jumped off the screen as much as Noel’s on her gorgeous wedding day! Bright pink peonies and a groom in uniform made this wedding so special and fun to feature on Annapolitan Bride!

{Vendors We Love – 2hands Studios}
One of the reasons why Annapolitan Bride was created was to feature the work by talented locals such as the ladies behind the creative ideas of 2hands Studios!

Not all weddings are bright and light. Some are dark and mysterious!

Finally, one of our favorite posts, and a trademark and specialty of Intrigue Design & Decor – aisle art! Completely worth every penny for the impact it has on a ceremony!
Minty, crunchy, tasty candy canes! Pretty on a tree and a fun treat…plus, gorgeous red and white stripes! We put together this board highlighting those bright stripes!

And now, the last post of opening day, a little something modern. Sure, we love a little shabby chicness, but the Annapolitan Bride is also modern and cutting edge. I put together two more boards featuring some of my favorite modern pieces from Intrigue and some of my favorite modern finds from Pinterest. If you follow us on Pinterest, you’ll be able to get a peek into what we’re currently loving, and maybe even what will be coming up next! Happy pinning!

Here’s a little something vintage! A favorite of Annapolitan Bride is anything and everything shabby and vintage looking. I’ve put together two gorgeous boards of my favorite shabby chic shoot from Intrigue that was featured on Elizabeth Anne Designs! I absolutely love the simplicity of soft roses mixed in with the gorgeous antiques and pearls. And the model is stunning, no?
