Liza & Chase

Liza and Chase wanted a wedding that was, above all, about them. Intimate and quiet, only for the people closest to them. Nothing that felt like a large event, but the atmosphere of a private evening where everyone is genuinely comfortable.

They wanted a space with character: a brick wall, warm light, a lot of candles. Chase loves jazz, and that light jazz aesthetic was to be felt in the evening — a little intimate, a little cinematic. It still had to be unmistakably a wedding.

Aesthetics mattered to them, of course. They are both young, beautiful, visually very whole. They wanted the outer world of the wedding to match their inner one: not a space that merely looks beautiful, but one that feels like an extension of themselves.

That is why finding the venue took the longest. We spent a long time choosing a space where they could feel genuinely at ease. It was not about a beautiful restaurant, but about their own place — with the right architecture, atmosphere, light and character.

That is why choosing Shushabandi became the starting point of the whole concept.

Once the venue was found, everything else came together surprisingly quickly and easily. We were no longer inventing a concept from scratch — we took our cues from the couple. From Liza and Chase: from the way they look, their character, their aesthetic, and the feeling they created next to each other.

That is where the white and milky flowers came from, the ivory tones, the many candles, the silver candlesticks and the pearls.

We kept Shushabandi's brick architecture and made it part of the visual language of the evening. The huge windows became another key element. By day natural sunlight came through them. In the evening we added light and a little haze, and the room filled with soft, warm beams.

The result was the atmosphere we had been looking for from the start: quiet, intimate, a little jazzy and very warm.

The couple's morning carried the same story, in a historic space of frescoes and paintings. Nothing existed on its own. The hotel, the cathedral, Shushabandi, the light, the flowers, Liza's dress and the details of the decor gradually settled into one visual line.

Liza's look was its natural continuation. She looked like a supermodel, which is exactly why we did not overload the space. Her beauty became part of the wedding's aesthetic on its own.

In the cathedral of Tbilisi white flowers picked the line up: they created the cleanest and most solemn atmosphere possible. The final accents were pearls, silver, candles and an extraordinary white cake ringed with lights.
