Erica and John were married on a bright, sunny day in May, at the charming Olde Breton Inn<\/a>, a historic inn overlooking Breton Bay and the Potomac River, in Leonardtown, Maryland. We were especially excited to see Erica again, after we photographed her\u00a0as a bridesmaid \u00a0at Hillary and Mike’s\u00a0wedding at Springfield Manor last July<\/a>. (See Erica in blue and Hillary in white below.)<\/p>\n

On May 2nd, it was Erica’s turn to be the stunning bride…<\/p>\n

Erica created so many great touches throughout the celebration, like the sailboat “place cards” above. Fabric on the mother of the bride’s sail came from her own mother’s wedding dress; and the father of the bride’s sail fabric came from his father’s tie.<\/p>\n

Erica’s mom, Birdie, is the reigning\u00a0\u00a0St. Mary’s County Grand Champion for jams and jellies. The favors given to guests are the bride’s two favorite flavors of her mom’s winning creations.<\/p>\n

All the kids were so excited to see Erica arrive at the inn, wearing a veil she borrowed from her cousin, who was also recently married.<\/p>\n

We love this “something blue” sewn into the skirt of Erica’s dress.<\/p>\n
