April was a very exciting month for me! I had the honor of planning and styling THREE proposals in one week. It was a month of pure excitement. I am excited to share Abby & Stephen’s proposal with you today but check back for the other proposal soon.
Amanda Zabrocki, the photograoher Stephen hired was kind enough to recommend me to plan all the details of the proposal. I am so glad she was there to capture the joy of the evening.
I planned a picnic on the beach near the beautiful Don Cesar Hotel where Stephen popped the question. I provided charcuterie, prosecco, beautiful blooms and a cozy setup for them to celebrate their brand new engagement. I didn’t know much about Abby so I used my best judgement and chose a blue and pink color palette to accent the iconic pink hotel. I was so happy I went with my gut because Abby said it was so her (always my goal) and they even dressed in those colors. I love when that happens!
Beyond the actual proposal, the best part of the night was when their friends and family ran out to ambush them with hugs and congratulations. I had no idea they had been hiding and it made me emotional to see them run out in pure joy to hug them. It was one of those moments were I feel so lucky to get to facilitate these important milestones. It’s such an honor.
Stephen, thank you for hiring me to spoil Abby so you could pop the question. You two are such a joy and it was a complete honor to make all of this happen for you. I wish you two all the best and happy planning!
If you are local to the Tampa area or are planning to travel here to propose I would love to help you plan out every detail. Email me to get on my limited schedule.
