A lot of people tend to think that Santa Monica beach is too crowded for a marriage proposal. However, if you propose at the far end of the beach, North of the Pier, it is actually a great location. And that is where we set up Raul’s proposal to the love of his life April. We are so excited to share our Beautiful Beach Proposal in Santa Monica.
The Story
A sign of a great love is the ability to overcome distance. Raul contacted us in April of last year to help him plan his beach proposal idea in Santa Monica. When we interviewed him in order to come up with proposal ideas, we learned a lot about his relationship with Adilene. Though he first saw her when she was just 15 years old, they didn’t reconnect until 5 years ago. For the last 4 years, they had been in a long distance relationship, committed to making it work while he lived in California, she in Mexico. We knew we definitely wanted to highlight the distance in the proposal idea but we wanted to do so in a glamorous, beachy setting. We presented the idea of a gorgeous gazebo with orchids, her favorite flower, hanging down. Raul loved it the idea so we started proposal planning.
The Proposal Set-Up
During the most perfect sunset, our team set up the gazebo and strung the orchids. Inside the gazebo we displayed a map highlighting the distance that they had overcome. On the other side of the gazebo, we set up a costal theme blanket and pillow area where they could watch the sunset.
The Proposal
When Raul and Adilene arrived, he immediately dropped to his knee and proposed. She said YES!!! After the proposal, they watched the sunset and then enjoyed dinner at a restaurant we reserved for them.
Raul was one of the nicest clients we have ever worked with and we loved planning his Beautiful Beach Proposal in Santa Monica. We are so honored to have been a part of their special day and we wish them all the best.
