The Original Marriage Proposal?

An "original marriage proposal" is what comes up most often during our briefs with our clients, and to be original, you have to avoid falling into the catalog. However, the opinion of some is not always that of others. A surprise marriage proposal in Venice may be appreciated by many of you, but may be seen as "cliched" by others. The real question we ask our clients is: who are you? What has driven your story? Do you have a place that describes you? Are you starting from scratch?

The answer to this question allows us to better understand you and helps us determine and establish the plan made for you. Remember that there is no original proposal par excellence. There is only you and your desire to please your partner.

How Much Time?

Making a marriage proposal can require quite a bit of time depending on the ideas you have, the outside help you will be given, the execution, and so on. Do not hesitate to write everything down in black and white so that your ideas can take shape more easily.

Where to Start?

Start by establishing your budget. This will very finely determine your possibilities and guide your research towards a suitable plan. From experience, there are no small budgets. A marriage proposal with a 390 € budget will have the same effect as one at 3,490 €, as long as the gesture comes from you. Depending on the latter, some will be able to delegate the organization of the marriage proposal to a professional organizer, while others will have to do it themselves!

Once your budget is established, determine the location of your marriage proposal. This can be personal to you, or not. To help you, we have prepared a list of ideas for your marriage proposal.

Once the place is chosen, it is time to set the trap! The goal is to create a surprise marriage proposal. The effect relies on the "intense emotional shock" and is easily triggered. To do this, ask for help from your entourage, friends (even theirs), families, so that your marriage proposal can happen "by chance" during one of your walks, a photo shoot, an unexpected outing.

OK, We Have the Budget and the Place: Missing the Decor and the Extras!

But what to do? Making your marriage proposal can quickly prove costly, essentially because of the decoration. Bouquets of flowers? Giant LED letters? Red carpet? The ideas and desires are great but the budget will certainly bring you back down to Earth. Time is your friend. Take the necessary time to do your research. Contact, compare and plan so that everything can be achieved.

The same goes for extras (drivers, photographers, and so on). The number of providers is important and the negotiation opportunities are too. If you don't have the "commercial fiber", don't hesitate to get help!

A romantic marriage proposal is not necessarily a proposal with a ton of decorations. The right package (location, plan, surprise effect) is enough!

OK and the Stress?

Making your marriage proposal can generate quite a bit of stress. Simply know that there is no better marriage proposal. There is only yours! You love her, and your heart feels the need to tell her, so go for it!

Asking a Man to Marry?

No problem! Although less common, we are however sometimes contacted by ladies to organize their engagement. Remember that times have changed and that cliches are now far behind us!
