How to 'pop the question'
When, where and how to get engaged.
Congratulations! You've found the love of your life and now it's time to take the next big step - popping the question. Planning a proposal can be equal parts exhilarating and nerve-wracking, as you want the moment to be nothing short of magical. That's where a trusted wedding planner like me, owner of Amae Weddings & Events, can help you orchestrate a proposal that will leave your partner speechless and create memories to last a lifetime. In this blog, I will guide you through when, where, and how to pop the question, sharing the benefits of hiring a wedding planner to organize it all.
Timing is Everything:
When it comes to proposing, timing is key. Consider your partner's preferences and personalities. Is there a special day or occasion that holds significance for both of you? Perhaps it's a milestone anniversary, a favorite holiday, or even a time when you know they'll feel most relaxed and happy. Discussing your intentions with a wedding planner can help you pinpoint the perfect time to pop the question, ensuring that it aligns seamlessly with your partner's expectations and desires.
Creating the Perfect Ambiance:
Now that you've picked the ideal timing, let's move on to the question of where to propose. Is there a specific location that holds significance for both of you? It could be the place where you first met, a favorite vacation spot, or a spot in nature where you both feel at peace. Your wedding planner can help you brainstorm creative and unique ideas based on your relationship and preferences, transforming any location into a romantic setting. Whether it's an intimate candlelit dinner, a scenic outdoor setting, or a grand gesture at a luxury venue, a professional wedding planner can work their magic and bring your vision to life.
Adding Personal Touches:
To make your proposal truly memorable and meaningful, think about incorporating personal touches that reflect your shared journey as a couple. This could include heartfelt letters, incorporating sentimental items, or planning activities that align with your partner's interests. A wedding planner can help you brainstorm ideas and create a customized proposal plan that showcases your love story in a unique and personal way. By entrusting the details to a wedding planner, you can rest assured that every element of your proposal will be executed flawlessly, leaving you free to focus on the main event - the question itself.
Why Hire a Wedding Planner:
Planning a proposal involves a considerable amount of creativity, logistics, and attention to detail. That's where a wedding planner becomes your invaluable ally. From researching locations and securing permits to arranging transportation and coordinating suppliers, a wedding planner takes care of all the behind-the-scenes work, allowing you to relax and savour the moment. With my expertise, connections, and eye for design, I can transform your vision into reality, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience. Relying on a wedding planner allows you to fully focus on your partner and the emotions of the moment, knowing that every detail has been taken care of and within your budget, whatever that may be.

By entrusting the planning to a professional, you can relax and enjoy this beautiful milestone, secure in the knowledge that every detail has been thoughtfully taken care of.

Women should only propose on a leap year!
Should you propose to your partner on leap year?
There are a lot of women who cannot wait for those long 4 years to pass so they can propose… then there are the women who don’t bother waiting for a leap year and just propose anyway (girl power!)
On February 29th 2020 women are ‘permitted’ to take matters into their own hands and propose to their partners, but where did this tradition come from?
According to Irish Folklore, during the 5th century in Ireland, St. Brigid of Kildare (an Irish Nun) felt that women were left far too long waiting for a proposal, so he discussed this with St. Patrick and expressed her dismay.
It was decided that women could propose on one day only in the month of February during a leap year.
Now, ladies, you are of course more than capable of proposing on any other day of the year but there is nothing wrong with following tradition and waiting for this special date to come around. After all, if you are in a same sex relationship, are you going to wait 4 years if you miss this one? Heck no!?
So women, like Beyoncé said… put a ring on it!
I can help set up the most amazing proposal and provide a photographer to capture this special moment so please get in touch to learn more!
