Planning a Proposal? Get the Scoop From Proposal Planning Pro Sarah Pease

Tis the season — proposal season that is! From Thanksgiving to Valentine’s is when 38% of soon-to-be-weds get engaged (according to last year’s stats). With all those proposals happening there can be a lot of pressure to make yours stand out from the rest. That’s where a professional proposal planner like Sarah Pease, founder of Brilliant Event Planning, comes in. As a marriage proposal planner Pease pulls off elaborately crafted custom proposals with perfectly planned details from private live orchestra performances to planting fake Groupon certificates, and she’s seen it all when it comes to proposals. Read on to get the scoop on how to create the perfect proposal and what it’s really like to be a proposal planner, below.
Your love story is what makes it memorable. “When planning a proposal the best way to make it memorable is to make it personal. Your love story is a unique and nobody else has the one that you have together, so your proposal should be a reflection of that. Look to your love story and you’ll have so much rich information to pull from,” says Pease.
Proposal planners pull off some serious acting skills. “Something no one would ever expect about the job, we [proposal planners] are disguised as other people all the time. I have pretended to be many things for the purposes of my clients’ proposals. I’ve been a spa front desk person, a valet parker and a TV show producer. People will believe anything you say if you own it,” says Pease.
Some of the best proposals have staying power. “One of my favorite proposal ideas is to create a tradition. You don’t have to do it every year, but you can tie in the proposal at each life changing event like the wedding day, when you buy a home together and then when you have child together. One of my favorite proposals we planned around something our client said in our consultation, ‘She’s the last piece to my puzzle. So we made a huge puzzle and it had the blueprints to the house they were building. The couple kept the puzzle pieces, and for Christmas that year we took the puzzle image and made it into a canvas that’s displayed in their home and she has a mini version on her desk at work,” says Pease.
Having a Plan B and a Plan C is a must. Everybody always plans if she’s running late, but you should also always have a plan if she’s running early. Having your fiance show up early happens all the time, and it’s a common proposal pitfall.

Spice Up Your Outdoor Wedding With Quirky Camping Details

If you and your soon-to-be spouse are into the outdoors, a great way to incorporate a little personality into your nature-filled wedding day is to include a few quirky camping details.

If the great outdoors are what brings you and your families together, we can’t think of a better way to customize your celebration. See below for our favorite camping wedding decor ideas!

Essence of Australia's New Stella York Line Is Affordable Elegance

Essense of Australia’s Stella York fall 2015 line is affordable but doesn’t skimp on the details that make a wedding gown so special. The collection features gorgeous touches like organza tiers, heavy beading and fluttery tulle skirts. We love the simple blush gowns for a casual or bohemian wedding (just add a flower crown!), and the dramatic drop waist gowns give great movement and feel perfect for a ballroom or formal event.

3 Super Stylish Reception Tent Alternatives

Tired of  the traditional reception tent but need a way to protect your guests against the elements? Think outside the box. Look to cabanas, vine covered trellises and shady umbrellas to not only give your guests solace from the sun’s rays, but to win you some serious style points too. Alfresco dining under a rustic trellis will make your guests feel like they’ve been transported to the Tuscan countryside, while airy cabanas have a cool VIP vibe. Check out some of our favorite reception tent alternatives below!

A Sea of Umbrellas
A hot summer day calls for some serious shade, but if you’re not about the reception tent, classic table umbrellas are the next best thing. They’ll keep guests cool but they also lend a laid-back vibe to your decor.
