When it comes to the marriage proposal, as any florist will tell you, nothing symbolises this romantic time more than the perfect bouquet of fresh flowers. Presenting your partner with a stunning arrangement of their favourite blooms before you pop the question is just one way in which you can make flowers a part of your marriage proposal. Discover many more ways to incorporate flowers into the moment and create memories that will last forever.
Rather than searching high street florists for the perfect bouquet and then presenting them to your partner yourself, use online flower shops and have the flowers delivered on the morning of your proposal. This gesture sets the romantic scene for the entire day and hints that the day will be filled with surprises. If your proposal is imminent, opt for same-day flower delivery or next-day flower delivery and send the flowers by post.
Of course, you want to adorn the proposal setting with thousands upon thousands of flowers, but unless you have a lot of cash, this is simply isn’t going to be possible. Cheap flowers can still look amazing and you may be able to get a lot more flowers for your money if you use an online flower store. If you don’t have the cash to splash, buy a big bouquet of flowers and separate them into smaller posies which you can then present throughout the day, making the most of the romantic gesture of giving flowers.
If you are planning to propose at home over a romantic meal and some bubbles, you will want the atmosphere to be as romantic as possible. This means the right music and the fragrant scent of fresh blooms in the air. Rather than throwing rose petals on the floor leading to the dinner table, place flowers in jars and tealights in some other jars and use these to guide the way to the place where the proposal will take place. Alternate tealights with flowers for a dramatic and romantic look.
Why not let the flowers do the talking and order flowers arranged as letters? This can be a bit pricey but is a fantastic way to pop the question. Order from a reputable online company for the best prices or, if you are feeling creative, buy the flowers and green foam and do the arranging yourself. Only attempt this if you are confident you have the skills to do so and if you have the time to spare, as a rushed arrangement will not do your proposal justice!
If you have the budget, or even if you just use an affordable online florist, you can arrange to have flowers delivered throughout the day as an amazing lead up to the actual proposal. Begin with delivery in the morning to your partner’s home, and then have blooms delivered to their workplace and finish with flowers at the restaurant or the venue where you plan to propose. This hints that something extra special is happening that day without giving the game away and will certainly make for a fantastic proposal story. An alternative way to have flowers presented throughout the day is to order several bouquets and have them delivered to one location in the morning when you know your partner will not be around. You can then hide these bouquets in different locations with love notes, or poems attached.
