You may have daydreamed about your marriage proposal for months. But as you start to consider how you’ll plan it, you may realize there are more details–and costs–than you ever imagined.
The Heart Bandits can help walk you through the proposal planning process and share creative proposal ideas with you. One of the first decisions is considering which details are worth the splurge. Take a look at our advice below on how you should be budgeting for your marriage proposal
Proposal Planner
First and foremost, a proposal planner is key to making sure everything goes smoothly during your proposal. There are a lot of details and logistics that go into planning a one-of-a-kind proposal. For example, finding the perfect venue, coordinating the times you can be there, working with vendors (like photographers or florists). Another example is adding romantic touches like flowers, champagne, live music, and more. With all of those details in mind, you want to be able to focus on what really matters: expressing your love.
If you’re on a budget, an experienced proposal planner like The Heart Bandits might get you the most bang for your buck. They’ll not only save you time and stress, but they’ll bring a sense of creativity that’s worth the investment.
Photographer
If you have room in your proposal budget to splurge on another vendor, a photographer will bring you a lifetime of memories. Many photographers will include your proposal or engagement photos in a package if you choose them to photograph your wedding. And if you’re worried about ruining the surprise, you can ask them to stand at a discreet distance so they can capture the romance of the proposal while still giving you space for an intimate moment.
Romantic Decor
One of the best ways to personalize your proposal is through romantic decor, including her favorite flowers, photographs of the two of you, artistic signs with sweet messages, and flickering candles to set the mood. If you’re hoping to plan a proposal with a theme that’s customized to your unique love story, these details can bring your proposal to life. And when you work with a proposal planner like The Heart Bandits, we can help you come up with creative ideas for decor and take care of decorating your proposal venue.
Florist
Want to add a pop of color to your proposal venue? Flowers are worth the money, especially when they add a delicate scent to the air and an aura of romance that’s symbolic of love and marriage. In many cases, flower petals are less expensive than bouquets and arrangements, so think about the best ways to incorporate her favorite blooms into your proposal. There are plenty of versatile options!
