Ryan contacted us back in November about his August proposal in Napa. Yep, you heard me right, he was planning this proposal for over 10 months! Ryan created a special email account called “RyanAndKristieGetEngaged@…” and even opened a bank account just so that he can keep all of the proposal items a secret from Kristie! Seriously, he pulled out all the stops and was so thoughtful about each detail :)
So for his idea: Ryan was taking a work trip to San Francisco (the couple lives in Georgia) and was going to call Kristie while he was out here (the week of the proposal) and convince her to take a “last minute trip” out to visit him over the weekend of his work trip. Then they went and did some wine tasting in Napa and while touring one of the wineries they “stumbled upon” a patio with an incredible view of Napa Valley! Oh and the proposal decor just happened to be set up on this patio as well ;) We had a calligrapher make a chalkboard with lyrics from their “couple song” and then we created postcards from various stages of their relationship and Ryan wrote sweet love notes on the back of each card. Then we put these cards in a custom created wooden box and added in stunning florals! Check out the images below and come back next week to see the awesome proposal video from this event.
