Finding creative ways to propose is tough and
a truly great marriage proposal can be very hard
to think of. You want to be original. You
don’t want to ‘over do’ it. You want her to say yes
(and cry a lot). You also want to make sure
your proposal is very unique to your relationship.
All that being said, here is a lengthy list of
creative proposal ideas – from artsy to outdoorsy ideas,
and elaborate to simple ones too.
Thoughtful Ways To Propose
1. Scavenger Hunt: Think of a few places that are
meaningful to your relationship and send your girlfriend (and 2-3 friends or
family members) to visit these places. Throw in a salon appointment (hair and
nails), and perhaps even a stop a boutique to pick out a new dress. Along
the way, have notes or cards (or even a voice recording of yourself) describing
what each place or stop signifies. At the end of the scavenger hunt, propose
with a romantic view in the background and have all the friends and family
involved in planning the day there to celebrate after.
relationship and make a photo album or story
book out of it. Make sure to include feelings you
had with each memories and a note on
the last page that says “Will you Marry Me”. An extra
idea would be to add an additional page to the
story book with photos and feelings from the proposal
(after she says yes, of course!).
3. Create a Milestone Movie: With video creation being easier than
ever (heck, you could simply
use your smart phone to shoot it!), we’ve seen
some really cute videos being compiled and
of others. One of our favorite proposal ideas
is recording a video of you at all the places that are
meaningful to your relationship. Record you at
the park you laid in for 5 hours on a Tuesday evening,
the restaurant you went to with her parents
for the first time, the pet store you got your bulldog
from – tell her why these moments were so
special to you and your relationship. You can show
this movie at home (before the TV show you
both are hooked on), in front of friends at family
at a surprise dinner or event, or see if you
can line up the video at your local movie theater.
This way to propose ensures you have the
memory for years and years to come.
Outdoor Ways to Propose
4. On a ski lift: Write different phrases in the snow
that are visible to you and your girlfriend
as you’re going up the ski lift. At the very
top, have the phrase “Will You Marry Me”. You can
use food coloring to dye the snow to make it
easier to read. (Oh, and make sure the safety
bar is down when you propose!)
Creative
Proposals
5. Book Lover: If you’ve got a book lover on your
hands, ask her favorite author to sign her favorite book with
“Will You Marry, ____ (your name)” on the inside. Take her to
dinner or a picnic and give her the book as a gift.
You can even carve out the book and put the ring in the middle.
Not only is this a creative way to propose, but
its extra great because you’ll have the signed book as a physical
memory of the proposal forever.
6. With friends and family: It’s becoming more and more
popular to propose with friends and
family involved. Whether they are there before
or after, it’s often important to share the moment
with your loved ones as well.
up (literally) all over the last few
years. They’re so full of energy and emotion – and even more so
when friends and family join in the mob as
well.
8. Propose while playing a trivia
game: Plan
a game night alone or with friends. When it’s your
girlfriend’s turn to answer a question, head
over to where she’s sitting and say “Your question
is: Will you marry me?” Definitely
make an actual trivia card so that you have the proposal
memory to hold on to!
9. Propose at the beach: If you’re a big fan of the ocean,
the beach could be the perfect place to
propose. Tell your lover that you heard of a
beach contest for the best sand drawing (to enter,
you’re supposed to take a picture of it and email
it in). You could even ask the lifeguard to come
up to you and “tell you about the
competition”. Suggest that both you and your girlfriend
should create your own drawings. Of course,
you’ll use this as your time to write
out the marriage proposal. When you’re both
finished, share your creations! She’ll be stunned!
Winter Weddings: 10 New Winter Wedding Ideas
Snowflakes and pinecones are
tried-and-true winter wedding motifs, but don't feel bound to these seasonal
standbys. Here are 10 ways to reinvent your winter wedding.
Wedding Colors
Reds and greens certainly reflect the
season, but overdo this colour combo,and your wedding may seem more
holiday-oriented than you intended.
What's Hot Now: Consider a less-is-more approach
to your colour palette: Silver and white with crystal accents can add
some serious glamour to your winter wedding.
For your ceremony, try a white velvet aisle runner trimmed with white satin ribbon, or decorate the altar with a crystal
curtain backdrop adorned with hanging strands of elegant white phalaenopsis orchids. If you're exchanging vows outdoors,
get your guests in on creating the ambience by giving out clear umbrellas to friends and family members as they arrive.
The Flowers
Red roses, calla lilies, and amaryllis are
decidedly winter wedding flowers, but if you step outside the flower box, and
you'll find a variety of options for winter
blooms.
What's Hot Now: Consider fuller flowers, such as
white hydrangeas and soft ranunculuses. White boutonnieres can be
Invitations
Since winter weddings are usually held indoors
(it's an ideal time for ballroom receptions), they often call for a more formal
invitations.
What's Hot Now: A black-tie event is nicely
conveyed by heavy cardstock and a navy blue, chocolate-brown, or even
Centerpieces
Go beyond glowing candles to add both warmth
and romance to your reception site.
What's Hot Now: If you want to heighten the
drama, bring in the icy outdoors with ice-carved vases on your reception tables.Have your florist fill the vases
with tall winter-white branches and hanging crystals to reflect the light from
the tables. Surround the centerpieces with votive
candles, and top your tables with white dupioni table linens and frosted glass
china.
Escort
Cards
Miniature sleighs and holly motifs stamped
onto your escort cards would spell out the season pretty clearly, but they
might not dazzle your guests.
What's Hot Now: Leave everyone awestruck as they
retrieve their escort cards by making the entire table sparkle. Have the cards hand-calligraphed in silver ink
and attach them to individual crystals with a ribbon. Hang each from an
oversized crystal candelabra centerpiece for a
new take on the popular escort card tree.
The
Music
A classical pianist playing during
dinner is a sure way to create an elegant ambience, but consider a more
unexpected
accompaniment.
What's Hot Now: For a twist on the tunes,
consider hiring an a capella quartet to sing background music at your
reception. Have the group sing your favorite jazz
and pop songs to set a welcoming and festive tone for the evening. If you're
into a more classical sound, hire a cellist
and ask that Vivaldi's "Winter" be included in the repertoire.
A winter cocktail hour calls for warm,
comforting drinks. You really can't go wrong with hot chocolate and warm apple
cider, but it's your wedding -- why not
take every opportunity (drinks included) to add an element of surprise?
What's Hot Now: Serve up white hot chocolate in small espresso cups and
eggnog in small punch glasses for your guests
as they arrive. At the bar, offer saketinis
(Japanese rice wine and sweet-flavoured vodka) in glasses rimmed with sugar
crystals.
The
Cake
A wedding cake trimmed in red or green
ribbon or topped with roses looks pretty, but bakers who are willing to push
the fondant envelope can reflect the
winter in totally creative ways.
What's Hot Now: Play up the season with a white,
vintage-style cake, dusted with edible silver powder. For accents,
Favours
Food wedding favors are always a hit,
but if cookies or truffles seem passe, try new treat ideas to send your guests
home satisfied.
What's Hot Now: Give out small packages of
chocolate-covered cranberries or roasted chestnuts. An over-the-top idea
that will undoubtedly impress: Have
your caterer set up a hot chocolate and churros station to top off the evening.
While many couples flee the blustery
weather for warmer (and sandier) locales for their honeymoon, a winter wedding
can segue perfectly into a snowy
escape.
What's Hot Now: Embrace the season and rent a
cozy log cabin for a week in Lake Placid, or join the jet-setters at a
luxurious
hotel in Aspen for some serious skiing, wining, dining, and snuggling.
