The infectious smiles on the faces of our recent M&A Bride, Caitlin and her husband Eric is what we love the most about weddings. From the moment they met these two have made each other laugh and they haven’t stopped since.
On their first date 6 years ago at a local Italian restaurant, Eric hastily asked the waitress if she could please hurry their food along as he had somewhere else to be. Their shared sense of humour quickly became evident when Caitlin broke out in giggles as she knew he was joking. The waitress on the other hand, thought he was serious. From that first date Caitlin and Eric have shared a cheeky sense of humour, love of a good time and delicious red wine.
Fast forward to April 2020 on the day these lovebirds were celebrating settlement on their new home together, Eric got down on one knee and popped the question. Followed with a resounding yes by Caitlin, the couple jokingly sealed the deal with a playful “elbow-tap” given the COVID restrictions.
On the 24th of July 2021, Caitlin and Eric married at the charming Buckland Estate in the heart of the Avon Valley, WA. The grandeur of the stately Victorian Georgian manor attracted the enthusiastic lovebirds from the moment they set foot on the grounds with the promise of an incredible winter wedding.
Blessed with crisp blue winter skies, the guests arrived swathed in exquisite furs and feathers for the gorgeous outdoor ceremony set amidst the sprawling countryside and grand heritage homestead. As guests kept toasty by the bonfire while warming their insides with the liquid gold of a spiked hot chocolate, the gorgeous bridal party slipped into their Mode & Affaire Laci Fur Jackets.
Our stunning bride Caitlin paired her Demetrios Gown with our Laci Fur Jacket in Dove, perfectly complimenting her sapphire engagement ring and completing her look with Willie Creek Pearls. While the beautiful bridesmaids coordinated their aptly coloured sapphire dresses with our Laci Fur Jacket in French Navy for a delicious rich winter palette.
