On the 1st March, IERI Store in partnership with Forbes Woman Georgia hosted a very emotional evening dedicated to the Mother’s Day celebration in Georgia. The guests had the opportunity to spend quality time with their mothers and celebrate the first day of spring.
To boost the festive mood, the event started with tasting delicious cocktails made with Hendrick’s Gin accompanied by the hand-crafted chocolates by Chicolli Shop and unique desserts by Madame Choux with different flavours (they brought back to life the lost recipe of 1673).
While waiting for the main part of the evening, all guests got a portrait by Marina Karpiy, a well-known photographer of Ukrainian origin living in Tbilisi. Marina’s pictures laid the foundation for the most emotional part of the evening.
The culmination was achieved when Nino Margvelashvili, a psychologist and coach, started her speech on motherhood and the roles and duties that women share while being mothers. After the lecture, Nino asked all the guests to look into the eyes of their mothers and spread love. This moment is incredibly touching and memorable; even tears were shed during the session. The evening ended with a lottery by IERI store.
Among the guests, there were the CEO of Ocean Capital – Tako Akhaladze; the Chairwoman of Georgian Farmer’s Association – Nino Zambakhidze; the CEO of Giggles official – Enco Sigua; Marketing Director of GD Alco – Salome Pirveli; Co-founder of Hyla Georgia – Maria Giorgobiani; Founder of Key Communication – Teona Bagdavadze; Plastic Surgeon – Salome Svanadze and many more.
