A Crystal Cove Deck Proposal on the Orange County Coast

Crystal Cove is one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Orange County. For that reason, we designed this Crystal Cove deck proposal to let that natural beauty shine.

The Set Up

First, we chose The Classic design: elegant white roses and hydrangeas, tall floral arrangements and soft candlelight placed along the deck overlooking the ocean.

As a result, the look was clean, timeless and romantic, so the focus stayed on the couple and the view.

Meanwhile, a gentle ocean breeze and the golden afternoon glow made the moment feel calm, emotional and completely magical. Then, after the “yes,” Chandler and Ari celebrated with hugs, kisses and even a dance on the deck.
