Ahhh, summer is almost here.  And with summer comes the influx of emails and phone calls asking us to arrange romantic beach proposals.  What could be better than spending a day at work on the beach?  Nothing!  So when JV contacted us and asked us to set up a simple and pretty proposal site on the beach in San Clemente, we jumped at the chance.  He pretty much had an idea in his mind of how he wanted things to go.  He was staying at the Casa Tropicana Hotel.  Right before he would take Renee to dinner, he wanted to walk across the street to the beach and stumble upon a romantic setup.

He hired The Heart Bandits to bring his proposal idea to life and to make sure it was executed properly.  We interviewed JV and uncovered many special memories that he and Renee shared.  We came up the idea to write all of these special memories on luminary bags.

The luminary bags would create a path to a romantic area for his proposal.  When Renee walked up to the luminary bag path, she was so touched that JV had set this all up for her.  She read each memory with JV, one by one, until she reached the blanket.  There she saw her favorite colored flowers, pillows, candelabras with crystals hanging, her favorite snacks, and pictures of them together, creating the perfect setting for a romantic wedding proposal.

JV proposed and Renee happily said yes.  JV wanted to make sure that Renee would have this memory forever so he made sure to have us bring in a photographer to capture the memory. Would you love this romantic beach proposal?  Leave  comment below!
