4. Hang photos of your best moments together
As you prepare to begin a new chapter of married life together, it’s also the perfect time for reflecting on your relationship history and your past, and how you two got to the present moment. Decorate wherever you’re proposing with photos of the two of you together over the years.
5. Plants, plants, and more plants
Another can’t-go-wrong surprise proposal decoration idea is to situate you and your beloved in a lush space filled with plants, whether indoors or out because being surrounded by greenery and flowers is an automatic ticket to fantastic vibes.
If you like this idea but would prefer to propose indoors, a location like this urban jungle space in Phoenix, Arizona is a perfect option. You and your beloved can enjoy all the gorgeous plantlife and take pictures posing on the exotic wicker furniture.
6. String lighting
This idea is not only effective, it’s truly affordable, and it works both indoors and outdoors (but keep in mind that if you’re proposing outside you might have to choose a different kind of string lighting that’s rated for the outdoors). Whether you choose regular string lights, lanterns, or something else entirely, you can get LED, remote-control lights for as little as $10 at some stores.
7. Christmas decorations
This is a really adorable surprise proposal decoration idea that also doubles as the proposal idea itself. It’s simple but really romantic. If you and your significant other decorate a Christmas tree every year, this is a cozy and truly swoon-worthy time to pop the question. Buy a proposal ornament that has text asking something along the lines of, “Will you marry me?” What a surprise when your partner sees it!
8. Use interesting lighting to create a magical atmosphere
Colored lighting can transform a space from everyday and normal to something entirely different, and because you can change the color of the lights, it’s super customizable to your liking.
You can actually rent an event space with colored LED lights in downtown Toronto. Its multi-color LED lighting is controlled via iPad, making it really easy to choose the right color. The space also has a living wall, five large windows that let in tons of natural light, 10-foot ceilings, and 1,100 square feet of multi-purpose space.
As a Peerspace reviewer shares: “The space is gorgeous! The lighting, the set, everything. Darwin is an excellent host, communicative, caring and kind. Book this place!”
9. Put it on a cake (or another baked good)
What is your significant other’s favorite dessert? Use this as the base for your wedding proposal, and make it a beautiful piece of decor as well. If your S.O. loves chocolate cake, the only thing that will make them love it, even more, is if it says “Will you marry me?” on top.
Congratulations on your pitch-perfect proposal! Time to check out our romantic pre-wedding photoshoot ideas!
