You found the one. You want to take your relationship to the next level. You know the question you must ask. But how? Popping the question can be nerve-wrecking. But have no fear-we are here to help! We provided you with three things to do before you propose to your special someone:

Create a plan

• Trust me- you want to plan this moment. Even if it’s a simple breakfast-in-bed proposal, you should still plan how you are going to do it. If you decide to make something even more elaborate, having a plan will ensure that everything goes smoothly. You can start with the simple questions of: Who? What? When? Where? How? If you need help answering the question of where, take a look at our blog on Top 5 Places to Propose. Answer these questions and you’ll be off to a great start!

Hire help

• When planning something this amazing, having a team of professionals will always be a great idea! To start, hiring a planner can assist in finding the perfect location, flowers, photographer/videographer without your soon-to-be fiancé finding out (don’t forget to delete your search history-you’re welcome). Orlando Flower Walls has an amazing proposal décor setup you can order. If you opt to having a private or public proposal at a special location, hire someone to capture it! I promise you won’t regret it. Captured By Elle and Lori Barbely Photography have great proposal photography packages so you capture every exciting moment of you popping the question! And yes, hiding in the bushes will not be a problem.

Keep the important things-important.

• Proposing to the person you love the most is one of the important moments of your life. Let’s keep it that way. So if you know that they are more of a private person, then make it private. Or if they loves surprises-can we say mini flash mob?! Some questions to ask yourself: Who would we want there? Where is our favorite place to connect? Does she love Disney? What great memories do we share that I can incorporate? All of these are great questions to ask yourself because it puts the focus on what matters most: YOU TWO!

Bonus Tip:

Whoever is doing the proposing and you plan on having pictures taken, PLEASE make sure the one receiving the ring-LOOKS THEIR BEST! It may seem trivial, but its necessary. Nice outfit, nails/hair done, or just a presentable look for the camera. Remember these moments will last for a lifetime-including the photos. You’ll thank me later!
