Why propose at home

Proposing in your own home is a beautiful way to create the most special memory to always reflect on, while giving you complete privacy to be in the moment for this very special time.

Should I propose at home?

Home proposals are a great choice for a variety of reasons. Here are some of the many reasons our couples choose to propose at home.

  • You love the idea of creating this incredible memory in the comfort of your own home, where you can always remember the special surprise.
  • You’ve just purchased a home together and you love the idea of proposing in your new home.
  • You are home bodies – you love spending time at home together, it’s your special place, so it feels right to create this timeless memory here.
  • Perhaps you and/ or your partner are introverts or maybe you feel a little anxious at the thought of proposing or being proposed to in a public place, so a home proposal is a great option to relax, and both really enjoy the moment.

The Romantic red proposal

Imagine her surprise, when she returned home from work one afternoon to be greeted with this incredible flickering candle and fresh rose petal lined walkway, leading to the jaw droppingly gorgeous proposal setting.

The brief: An amazingly romantic proposal in a red colour palette in the privacy of the clients home for the ultimate surprise.

The lights were dimmed and music playing when she arrived home, greeted with this ultra romantic setting. His lovely lady was speechless, as he dropped to one knee and popped the question, but thankfully she was able to respond with a big ‘YES!’

After the proposal they headed out for dinner together to celebrate their engagement.

TIP: Consider dimming the lights, have music playing (perhaps a song that is special to you both) and chill a bottle of champagne (or your partners favourite drink) ready to celebrate your engagement.

This proposal set up included:

  • Our beautifully styled Rose Gold Circular arbour
  • Marry Me neon sign
  • Fresh rose petal scatter

The Burger Rings Proposal

Whenever she asked when he will be getting her a ring, he would always say ‘baby, the only ring I can afford right now is a Burger Ring!’

Meanwhile he had quietly been doing lots of research learning about diamonds and was actually secretly saving for a very special diamond ring.

So, when he got down on one knee at his romantic proposal, and popped the big question, instead of pulling out a ring box, out came a packet of Burger Rings!

She burst in to laughter at the sight of the packet of chips, then soon discovered that inside the carefully resealed bag of Burger Rings, was a ring box containing the beautiful diamond ring he had thoughtfully chosen.

Successfully achieving a proposal that was both very romantic and so much fun too!

TIP: Their home has security cameras so thankfully he thought to turn them off before we arrived to help keep the surprise.

We loved assisting him to bring this amazing proposal to life, and how lucky are we, the happy couple have since booked Jamie to be their Celebrant! So now Jamie will get to share the story of this very special proposal with the couple’s family and friends at their wedding ceremony.

This proposal set up included:

  • Our beautiful Hamptons Style backdrop (thoughtfully chosen to provide privacy and block out the neighbours property.
  • Marry Me neon sign
  • Fresh rose petal aisle
  • Pathway lined with candles
  • Tablecloth, cushions and styling elements to style the couples own outdoor table.

The Gold Geo Floral Haven

Does it get any sweeter than this? Returning home to this surprise luxe floral filled picnic proposal in the couples living room.

On their 2-year anniversary he took her out for lunch at a lovely restaurant on the Brisbane River. After lunch they got back in the car and to her surprise he asked to blindfold her, telling her he was taking her to a mystery location that he wanted to keep a surprise.

She had no idea where she was or where they were going. When they reached the location, he told her she can remove the blindfold. To her surprise she was back at home – She felt so happy (and a little relieved) as home is her favourite place to be!

As they walked in, music started playing, as she followed a pink rose petal aisle to this beautifully romantic setting, surrounded by fresh flowers and candles.

He got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Needless to say she said YES!

This proposal set up included:

  • Our beautiful Gold Geo backdrop
  • Marry Me neon sign
  • Fresh rose petal aisle
  • Fresh floral arrangements
  • Picnic setting

The Brand New Home Proposal

After purchasing their first home together, our client decided to propose with our rose gold backdrop at their new home and it was perfect!

Their proposal took place the very same day their property settled, he picked up the keys (then handed them straight to us to enter and set up).

Once everything was looking perfect, they arrived and walked through the front door together for the first time as the new owners, to be greeted by this gorgeous glowing setting!

A perfect proposal and what a beautiful first memory made in their new home.

If you are planning on proposing and are in need of a little help from our team of proposal experts, we would love to assist in creating the breathtaking setting for your magical proposal.

We adored styling this proposal at the couples brand new home.

TIP: The settlement was delayed which is pretty standard, and he almost didn’t get the keys handed over that day! But thankfully it all worked out, so if you’re thinking of doing something similar, we would suggest doing this a day or 2 after settlement, to be on the safe side.

This proposal set up included:

  • Our beautifully styled Rose Gold Circular arbour
  • Marry Me neon sign
  • Fresh rose petal scatter
  • Champagne on ice
  • Cheese and meat platter box
  • Picnic setting (Which came in handy given they were yet to move their furniture in).
