Getting ready
The arrival
The long table
The speeches
The last dance
| Manifestation | The Guest List |
|---|---|
| Campaign line | "Raw beauty, from first light to the last dance." Supporting lines: "You're on the list." "Made for the moments that matter." |
| Film | One day in changing light: the morning run, getting ready, the arrival, the long table, the speeches, the last dance; scored by the music partner |
| Imagery | Natural light only; candid, in-between moments rather than poses; craft close-ups of the hand-painted print and the hand-sewn sequin |
| Locations | A courtyard house, a terrace above the sea, a city dining room at night: places she'd love to be, anywhere in the world, never landscape as the subject |
| Casting | The guests are the voices: the house ambassador, a Friend of Aje from each market, a chef, a mother and daughter, real friends; ages, backgrounds and body types that reflect every market |
| Copy | The founders' attitude in every line (raw beauty, tough femininity, effortless cool), delivered with optimism |
| Social | A "You're on the list" reveal, each guest announced like an invitation; creators share their own guest-list looks; Pinterest wedding guest boards |
| Stores | Windows dressed as the reception table; "Guest list" styling appointments |
| Events | Aje Table rehearsal dinners in New York and London, hosted with a local creative |
| Collaborations | A maker designs the table (e.g. Laila Gohar); the music partner scores the film and plays the last dance |
