We loved creating this floral filled yellow themed proposal setting for our recently engaged client, who shares his proposal story with us here.
How we met
We have been friends for so many years, I remember going to band camp with her in grade 4 and we played the clarinet together.
Through high school I used to admireher every day but always knew she was out of my league.
Many years later, I was out one night having dinner with the boys and in walks this drop-dead gorgeous brunette in a long white dress, I literally had to pick my jaw up off the floor and knew I HAD to talk to her.
Thankfully she remembered me! We got talking and quickly realised we had so much in common including our love for The Beatles, we both actually have The Beatles tattoos.
I could feel the electricity and chemistry between us so I just grabbed her face and forced a kiss and she kissed me back, time stopped, and I knew this was different to anything I had ever felt. Ever since that day we haven’t spent a day apart.
Planning my proposal
I was planning on making this special for a long time but with my work commitments I couldn’t put it all together myself. Thankfully the experienced teams at ‘With Love Proposals’ were a great help when it came to pulling off something extra special.
I briefed them that her favorite colour is yellow and that her favorite flowers are chrysanthemums, then using this as inspiration, they designed such an elegant setting.
We nutted out a plan that I would tell her that we had a photo shoot together as I needed her to get the day off work. I was a former contestant looking for love on the TV show ‘Married at first sight’, so I used this as an excuse as to why we needed a photo shoot.
We arranged luxury car hire as the sweet rides to escort us to the location separately in style which added to the unforgettable day. We also had a Photographer to capture it plus a crew from Castle and Crown Films on hand, who made the most perfect video for us to remember out special day.
On the day
On the day I got picked up in a Lamborghini with my fiancée being picked up shortly after in a Mustang, giving me enough time to meet the team at the location for a quick briefing to make sure everything was going to run perfectly.
I arrived to the most magical proposal set up with Michael Bublé playing in the background. There were beautiful flowers and the most stunning arbour set up decorated with an abundance of yellow flowers and even a floral chandelier!
The finer details made it so special, like having on an engraved wood “Will you marry me?’ sign, the beautiful yellow flowers with bees buzzing around them and the rows of trees in the background, I got out of the car and my hart skipped a beat.
I just looked at it and thought yep this is it this is perfect I even let a tear slip.
I got mic’d up by the videographers and waited for her to arrive. After waiting a little while I thought ‘oh no she had sussed this out and turned back and she’s not coming!’ But the team kept me calm and soon enough I saw the mustang driving down the road.
When she arrived and got out of the car and walked over to me, waiting in front of the sign. I just let my heart go and said everything I felt, how in love I am how she is my world and my best friend how lucky I am to have her and her kids in my life.
Then I dropped down on one knee and popped the question “will you marry me?” BOOM she said YES and my heart filled with complete love and satisfaction.
It was in that moment my life felt complete. The day was perfect and I couldn’t have created such a magical proposal without the team of suppliers organised by Cara (With Love Proposals), they honestly helped me achieve the most perfect proposal.
The ring
The ring was hard because I wanted something different and unique that could represent how she makes me feel and that she’s not like anyone else I have met so a normal ring wouldn’t do. I went to Prouds the Jewelers and explained what I wanted.
We went through so many books, and I got bits and pieces from all different rings and designed a custom ring which they made.
It has a heart of diamonds because she shows the strongest heart to love me and the kids and anyone else that comes into her life. The heart shape is unique like her.
I got pink diamonds put in it for the kids she has 2 of her own and we want to have 2 more together. As soon as I saw the diamond, I knew it was perfect it was the clearest and best grade money could get and I couldn’t stop smiling!
After picking up the ring the hardest thing was trying to keep it a secret and not blow the whole plan and propose to her on the spot as I’m the worst with secrets.
When we wed
We are planning a small and intimate day with family and friends on a private property. We will have a live Beatles cover band flying down from Darwin just for us. We envisage singing and dancing through the night with the love of our family and close friends. It will be beautiful, elegant, simple, and us.
Congratulations to our happy couple and thank you for trusting in us to design and create your elegant yellow themed proposal setting.
