Today I want to share with you one of my favorite marriage proposals we have planned this year. It is one of my favorites because our client James is one of the sweetest clients we have ever had AND because this proposal just couldn’t have been any better! This proposal involves a celebrity home in Malibu, a Taylor Swift song, a killer view, and a whole lot of flowers.
James and Jing love to go to open houses of the rich and famous as a hobby. So when we at The Heart Bandits found out that little detail, we knew we had to use that as the proposal idea. We got to work right away and rented a celebrity vacation home in Malibu. Next, we interviewed James and found out some more details we could use for his proposal idea. We discovered that on their first Valentine’s Day together James gave Jing a jar filled with paper stars which she absolutely treasures. Next, Jing is obsessed with the colors purple and green. Last, Jing loves Taylor Swift. So how did it come together?
Well, James and Jing spent a day of looking at open houses all around Los Angeles. He told her that he knew of one more in Malibu that belongs to a celebrity. When they arrived at the house, there were indeed “open house” signs out but when they got to the front door, there was a sign that said “Enter Home Through Garden”. James and Jing went through the garden and that is when she saw it! She saw a thick, gorgeous path of purple rose petals leading her to the terrace. Along the pathway were purple and green pomanders on shepherd hooks. At the end of the pathway was a tree adorned with photos of her and James. And then she heard a group of singers serenading her with “Love Story” by Taylor Swift. She stood on the terrace that overlooked the ocean in Malibu, stunned by what her sweet James had done for her. And then she noticed, next to the gorgeous purple flowers on a vintage desk, something that sent her emotions through the roof….. a jar of paper hearts.
James proposed and Jing said yes and we are honored that we were a part of this truly amazing marriage proposal. Contact us today so we can get started on your proposal concept and bring it to life next!
