You know you want to spell out your proposal with a stunning banner or sign – but you’re not sure how to really make a statement. You’ve come to the right place. Here are 3 tips for creating proposal signs that will steal the show.
Say It With Lights
A bright, well-lit display can never be boring. Consider using marquee lights, or add special lighting elements beneath or in front of the signs you’ve created. Stage spotlights work really well for this purpose. If you have access to electrical outlets, you will have more options – try framing your signs with fairy lights. You can also use LED lights with battery packs if you’re without an outlet. Of course, spelling it out with lit candles is always a romantic option.
Keep It Natural
There’s nothing more romantic than walking on the beach only to find those magical words spelled out in the sand. If you’re doing an outdoor proposal, try using the natural elements at your disposal. Other ideas are using birdseed laid out on the ground, or rose petals – just make sure it’s not a windy day and your creation won’t be ruined before you get there. Having a spotter or photographer to keep an eye on things until you arrive is a good idea.
Color It In
Go bright or go home. If you want to make a sign that catches the eye, using strong colors is a good idea – just make sure that the colors you choose are complementary and don’t clash. Avoid neon, and if you really want to go with pastel colors, make sure to have a black outline.
