Picking the photos to share from this touching art gallery proposal in Tampa is next to impossible! Jay came to us with the sweetest idea to propose to his sweet girlfriend Drashti, and needed help with the execution of it all. Jay thought of all of the intimate details of this sweet proposal – he really wanted to make his girlfriend feel seen, loved, and heard!
The Details:
This couple’s unique love story was on display for the two of them to take a trip down memory lane before they began painting the rest of their lives together (pun intended). Jay had the idea of having key memories of their relationship made into custom paintings to create a gallery for the two of them to walk through. We worked alongside Jay to create a stunning floor plan to display all of these sweet memories, complete with hedge walls and pops of blue florals, this proposal is one for the memory books!
The graphics and paintings were displayed in chronological order. Firstly, the painting on display was a picture of a princess kissing a frog. This is an inside joke that they share that he uses to describe the beginning of their relationship. Secondly, is their first AIM conversation, 3 seemingly small words lead to a one-of-a-kind love story. The gallery then moves to a painting of the movie theater where the couple went on their first date. The next graphic was a collage of photos of them over the years displaying some of Jay’s favorite memories. The gallery then moves on to a painting of them in San Francisco to encompass their many travels together. Lastly, was a display of the couple’s first apartment together. It continues to the first home that they purchased where they currently live and will continue to build their future. Jay prepared a speech for each of these moments. As they walked through the gallery, Jay explained to Drahsti what each of these moments meant to him
The Proposal:
Finally, the last gallery wall had a blank canvas on display to represent the painting that the two of them have yet to create, the rest of their lives. Jay lead Drashti through the gallery and finally got on bended knee in front of this final gallery wall.
Undoubtedly, Drashti is blown away by the sweet display that Jay has created for her. We could not be happier for this sweet couple and wish them the very best! Congratulations Drashti and Jay!
