A Surprise Proposal by the Brisbane River

What a pleasure it was creating this incredibly romantic surprise proposal for an adorable couple who came to stay for a weekend in Brisbane.

The groom-to-be wanted everything to be perfect, and most importantly, to catch his love completely off guard by making the proposal a big surprise —and he succeeded! A couple of months before their weekend getaway, he secretly purchased a stunning diamond ring (after many hints of the style she dreamt of).

But when the topic of engagement rings came up in conversation with friends, he casually played it off, pretending to believe you could order one in just a week. Convinced he hadn’t yet organised anything, she had no idea the surprise of a lifetime was waiting for her.

The evening began with an Uber ride to a bar, for pre-drinks prior to dinner – or so she thought!

Under the guise of casually suggesting there was a bar he wanted to check out, they arrived at a riverside park. Being an enthusiastic dog lover, she was instantly distracted by a super cute dog on arrival. So distracted, in fact, that she didn’t immediately notice they were heading into a park without a bar in site.

As they walked closer, she suddenly spotted the breathtaking setup.

The romantic setting framed with our luxurious flower frames adorned with vibrant red and popping pink dried hydrangea flowers, fresh roses in delicate glass jars, and a beautiful fresh rose petal aisle lined with glowing candles. The panoramic waterfront view with the Brisbane River created the perfect backdrop.

When they stepped into the proposal setting, she spotted the “Will you marry me?” sign, and her excitement became uncontainable. He shared his heartfelt words, expressing his deep love and commitment before dropping to one knee and asking her to be his forever.
