Nick & Maria
Location: Illinois
Package: Custom Proposal Package

This romantic Chicago Garden Proposal unfolded in the lush courtyard of a private art gallery, where cascading greenery and warm golden light created an intimate, storybook setting in the heart of the city. Beneath a sweeping willow tree, we designed a vibrant, tropical-inspired floral installation filled with lush palms, bright orange roses, anthuriums, and birds of paradise — blending modern elegance with natural romance. Custom shelving showcased framed photos from throughout their relationship, meaningful keepsakes, and personal details that reflected their shared memories, travels, and milestones together. A live cellist set the tone with softly played melodies while cold fountain sparklers ignited at just the right moment, adding an unforgettable, celebratory touch. Surrounded by candlelight, sentimental details, and their sweet pup by their side, he got down on one knee — creating a deeply personal and joy-filled moment that made this Chicago Garden Proposal truly one of a kind.
