Dec 2014 - Glen Erin at Lancefield

real-life weddings
Luck of the Irish
Ruth and Brian said 'I do' during a magical alfresco ceremony
at Glen Erin Retreat in Lancefield.
Ruth & Brian
Who
Ruth Kelly, 28, contracting
specialist, and Brian Keating,
30, engineer.
Where
Ruth and Brian wed beneath
a sweeping gum tree at the
tranquil Glen Erin Retreat in
Lancefield.
Bride’s gown
Ruth wore a Raffaele Ciuca
strapless gown with a sweetheart
neckline, with satin and tulle
trimmings in shades of pale pink
and ivory.
Bridesmaids’ dresses
Her bridesmaids wore kneelength salmon-pink gowns with
waistbands in the same shade of
pink as Ruth’s gown. She gifted
them with Irish pearl bracelets
from her family jeweller.
GROOM's suit
Brian accessorised his suit with
antique amethyst cufflinks and
his grandfather’s vintage silver
watch, proving the “something old
and something borrowed” adage
is no longer just for the bride.
reception
“From the moment we got to
Glen Erin we thought it might
be the right place,” say the
couple, who were searching for a
country location in Victoria. After
sampling the menu and taking
a stroll through the stunning
grounds, they knew they had
found the right destination.
cake
Breaking from tradition, the
couple opted for a wedding cake
made entirely of cheese. Each
tier consisted of a different wheel
of cheese, including indulgent
brie, mature cheddar and a blue.
