Boho-Belle Styled Shoot Inspiration
I’m never one to shy away from rich, bold colours and this gorgeous bohemian-inspired shoot by Melissa McCrotty Photography is oozing with Southern charm, the perfect antidote to the neon pastel trend that’s swept the high street in the past month or so.

This week I got an interesting submission for the blog – and it got us thinking about proposals.

Floral Designers Worship Luxury were asked to create the perfect table setting for a romantic proposal. The inspiration for this tablescape came from the original artwork called The Emergence of the Feminine. Tulips, orchids… yep they are pretty romantic!
What do you think makes the perfect proposal setting? Flowers? Candles? Monster Trucks? Let’s get chatting in the comments.

While the above looks very pretty, I don’t think you need a setting. I know friends who’s had the proposal while on the sofa watching telly. That said, I have another friend who rented out an entire watchtower by the sea, set it up as a private restaurant for 2 and lit thousands of tealights everywhere. But I think no matter the props or location, what you’ll really remember is what he, or she, said during that moment. And that’s what really counts at the end of the day.
i proposed @ Oxegen during, it was all very spontaneous and awesome. i wouldnt want it anyother way

The Perfect proposal just has to be meaningful in my book — so whatever is most meaningful for the couple. For me, that meant for us to be at our mountain cabin in the Fall — my most favorite place during my most favorite season.

The Perfect Palette
Well, she said “Yes” so that’s what makes it perfect, right?!?!?
Thanks Bride & Joy for posting this, we loved designing it…very different!!!
I think it totally depends on the couple. Some may want a big public show, others may want something private and simple. Perfect just involves having the person you want to marry ask you!
I think sitting in your jammies watching anything but the X factor would be perfect!
