Behind the scenes at a proposal: Our Romantic Tent Proposal

Ever wondered what it’s like to work behind the scenes at a proposal? You’re about to find out..

A year ago we arranged a gorgeously sweet proposal for our client Ben. He knew EXACTLY what he wanted for his proposal, and that was to keep it sweet and simple and for it to happen in his front room.

Ben wanted an intimate and romantic tend sent upon his living room and for the room to be filled with fire lights and candles. He has also though about some very sweet personalised touches the he wanted included. The couple had spent a lot of time travelling together and so he wanted all of the photos from their travels put up around the room. We also had a very special chocolate mouse cake made for the proposal. Why? Because two years previously, when they had gone on their first holiday together the hotel had got confused and thought they were eon honeymoon! As a result they had put a chocolate mouse cake in the room saying ‘congratulations!”

As a result, Ben obviously wanted the same thing featured on his ACTUAL proposal.

As proposal planners, we are always asked what happens behind the scenes at a proposal, and so we thought we would share some behind the scenes photos of Ben’s proposal. Enjoy!

Once the tend is assembled, we started to scatter rose petals all around the flat. We also had beautiful bunches of peonies (her favourite flowers) all around the flat

Finally we had to take the cake out of the fridge and position it in the middle of the tent
