This spring, many young couples were surprised by the announcement of the wedding portal LĪGAVĀM.LV about a unique project in Latvia, in which TOP wedding professionals have joined together with the aim of fulfilling the dream of a young couple and giving a real dream wedding, which would be realized within one month. 136 couples wanted to have this adventure. Līga and Arnis became the lucky ones!
On Monday, May 30, a bright wedding was celebrated for this happy couple in the circle of family and close friends. Līga and Arnis are passionate travelers who are not afraid of adventures. They have spent more than half of their time together traveling the world. The longest and also the most important trip for the relationship was through the exotic countries of the Asian continent. This journey was continued on the wedding day, in theme and in many details, with vibrant colors and exotic flower arrangements.
"Couples mostly choose soft pastel colors for weddings in Latvia. We decided from the beginning that in this project we wanted to create something unusual for our latitudes - to play with bold, bright colors, use exotic flowers. The idea we dreamed up at the beginning perfectly matched the personalities of this young couple," admits Jānis Buševics, the chief wedding decorator and director of SHISHI Home of Beauty salon.
The photographer Kristīne Grīnvalde, who is the author of the idea of this project, also wanted to create bright and emotional photos when creating the wedding day photo session. Kristīne says that "I got the inspiration for realizing such a wedding project from the thought that every bride has dreamed of a beautiful wedding, but as it often happens, dreams tend to be bigger than possibilities.
Therefore, the idea of "A wedding gift - or colorful dreams while awake" was a wish for a couple to fulfill their dream of a bright, memorable wedding by gathering a great team in this project, which has really succeeded!".
Planning a perfect wedding day down to the last detail was helped by the agency Pop Up Sense manager-event producer and wedding planner Gunta Skalberga. The morning of the wedding day began for the bride in the apartments of the Neiburgs hotel. On the morning of the special day, the bride wore a sensual nightgown from the linen brand Amoralle . Make-up artist Dita Grauda , took care of the bride's visual image, while hairstylist Inese Alšane did her hair. The bride's wedding dress was made by fashion artist Vita Radziņa . In preparation for the big day, the bride had the opportunity to attend a health and beauty massage course at the studio Figura Line . On the other hand, the well-being and visual image of the groom and groomsman on the wedding day were taken care of by masters from men's barber shop Rīgas Bārddzinis , as well as fashion brand Baltman , which the groom was given a suit.
Messy and beautiful, the young couple spent time before the ceremony with photographer Kristini Grīnvalda and video team Kanepes Films , capturing beautiful memories of being together on this day. "Although the wedding took place in Riga, we tried to take the young couple to unusual places", says Kristīne.
The wedding ceremony and celebration took place in the restaurant KOYA , which, thanks to decorator Jānis Buševics and the SHISHI Home of Beauty team, was transformed into bright tropics of exotic flowers. The guests learned about the tropical mood of the celebration when they received elegant wedding invitations made by master Oksana Solnceva before the wedding. The marriage was officially registered at the registry office, but a beautiful and emotional ceremony was conducted by Daile Theater actor Gints Andjan in the circle of family and close friends. During it, the couple reaffirmed their decision with a loud "Yes!" name, made a promise to each other and exchanged rings. After the festive dinner, the couple danced the first dance to the accompaniment of the song "Magic" by the band Coldplay , which was followed as a dot on the "i" by a wedding cake and a selected selection of sweets from Kanelis patisserie .
