First, I have to give a shout out to Elie, our Dallas proposal planner, and wish her a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Woohoo!
When it comes to marriage proposal trends in 2014, these are the top 5 most popular trends we’re coming across so far! Getting photos of the proposal may not surprise you but a majority of men asking for destination proposals (and well thought-out ones for that matter, not the spur of the moment kind of thing) is an upwards trend!
- 1. Getting Photos – Not only does she want to post it to Instagram for all her friends but it’s a moment she will have forever documented. Just have photos secretly taken and it doesn’t ruin the moment!
- 2. Destination proposals – We get couples all the time that travel from across the country to enjoy the beautiful Napa wine country. They are away from work, the views are serenade and the atmosphere is romantic which makes for the perfect start to a surprise marriage proposal!
- 3. Halo setting for the engagement ring – Small diamonds around the center stone makes the stone appear even bigger whether it’s a round, princess, cushion cut or pear shaped. It’s like displaying the center stone on your best platter.
- 4. Beach and garden proposals – One can’t beat a breathtaking backdrop for that long awaited “She Said Yes!”
- 5. Hiring a proposal planner – It may seem a little bias BUT we (The Yes Girls proposal planners) are busier than ever helping gentlemen pop the question all over the county and abroad; we haven’t even hit Summer months and holidays in full swing yet! In the past, March and April were our “slower” months but not this year!
If you or someone you know is getting ready to pop the question, make sure to send him this list! We’d love to help!
