Liza and Kangsan’s Fairmont Washington wedding was a perfect mix of personal details, cultural traditions, and laid-back elegance. As their Washington DC wedding planner, it was so exciting to bring their vision of a simple yet beautiful day to life—one that was all about celebrating with the people they love most. From the moment we started planning, it was clear they wanted their wedding to reflect who they are—chill, fun, and completely in love. And with a mix of Korean and Indian traditions, jazz tunes, and even a nod to their cats, this celebration turned out to be just as unique and special as they are!
Liza, a medical student, and Kangsan, who works for Google, wanted a day that was laid-back yet stunning. They weren’t looking for anything over the top—they just wanted to be surrounded by family and friends in a gorgeous setting. With a soft white and green color palette, the florals were light, airy, and ethereal, creating the perfect vibe for their timeless wedding day.
One of the most special moments of the day was Liza and Kangsan’s first look. It was such a sweet, intimate moment for the two of them to soak in everything before the day got into full swing. You could just feel the love and excitement between them.
Their wedding was also rich in tradition, blending Korean and Indian cultural elements in a way that made the day so meaningful. From special ceremonies to touches woven throughout the day, Liza and Kangsan made sure their heritage was a big part of the celebration.
Cocktail hour was such a vibe! A live jazz trio set the mood while guests enjoyed sushi (such a hit!) and mingled. To add a fun touch as proud cat parents, Liza and Kangsan named their signature cocktails after their fur babies. It was such a cute way to incorporate their everyday life into the celebration, and guests absolutely loved it!
Liza and Kangsan wanted their guests to have a blast at the reception, and they definitely delivered! It was an atmosphere that invited their friends and family to fully enjoy every moment. Along with a traditional photobooth, they had a 360 photobooth that kept everyone entertained all night long—because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good photobooth? It was the perfect way to ensure everyone had a keepsake to remember the day.
