5 Different Ways to Propose

 

5 Different Ways to Pop the Question

1. A simple yet timeless romantic way to propose is to do it the old fashioned way. In a quiet setting, tell her you love her and expand on different ways that she has enriched your life. Then get down on one knee with the ring in your hand, and ask her to be your wife. Many women will appreciate the classic approach to a marriage proposal.

2. Incorporate her likes and passions into the proposal. For instance, if she is an animal lover, tie the ring to the collar of a puppy using a bright ribbon. As she’s cuddling the puppy, she’s sure to find the ring. Then you can ask her to marry you. She’ll melt at the sight of the new pet (and you down on bended knee), and the pet will have special meaning to both of you.

3. If your future fiancé has always dreamed of going to Europe, ask her to marry you in a foreign language, like French or Italian. Complete the proposal with the promise of a honeymoon in Europe.

4. Tell her your love and happily-ever-after was written in the stars. Adopt a star in both your names.
When you receive the certificate for your star, present it to her with the ring.

5. Make her dreams come true. Many women love to talk about the perfect proposal she has dreamed about since she was a little girl. If she has never told you about her dream proposal, ask her friends and family for help.
Make the proposal tailor-made just for her.

Did you visit ADW at the Wedding Wise Bridal Show at Culy Warehouse?

Yesterday was a exciting time at the Wedding Wise Bridal Show at the Culy Warehouse. Irene Gonzales from A Perfect Table and I designed a beautiful table and Bridal Suite vignette that impressed all the guests at the show.
We had help from San Diego Events Lighting (who installed market lighting and hot pink uplights throughout the show) and Classic Creations who designed the perfect floral pallet to compliment the luxurious linens that Irene wanted to showcase.
Jenn Ragusa from Pink Star Design worked with me to create a dream wedding for “Jessica Sweet and Michael Hart”. All the details of a real wedding were designed from the Save The Date announcement to the custom Invitation. Menu Cards, Favor Tags, Signature Drink Sign and a beautiful Bridal Suite Banner. I had a full client binder showing all the details from start to finish, including a few vendors who were participating in the show. The story was a sweet success!

Thank you to Maryanne McGuire Photography for stopping by to capture all the beautiful details for us.
