Belle Amour: Wedding Ideas Less of the traditional. More of the original.

I saw this amazing proposal when it went up on the recipient of the romance’s blog! But the amazing Green Wedding Shoes were due to feature it and so I had to wait a little while. I still wanted to show it though as it’s one of the most creative and heartfelt proposals I’ve even seen…

Mikaela & Shane had their first date at a Starbucks and so when it came to popping the question Shane decided it would be the perfect place. But, rather than just take Mikaela to the Starbucks where they shared a passion tea lemonade and a green tea lemonade, he instead served up those very same drinks in their own personal, and way more romantic, Starbucks… in the woods!

And if that wasn’t brilliant enough he personalised so many details whilst also staying true to the feel of an actual Starbucks. From their love story on a menu to the ‘Wi-fi’ sign being spelt ‘Wi-fy’, and a Jack Johnson CD being on display (a concert they went to together) to mugs personalised with places they had visited!

Shane put an amazing amount of thought into his proposal and I can imagine guys groaning in despair when their girlfriends excitedly show them this Starbucks in the woods! If you haven’t already caught it on Green Wedding Shoes, enjoy!

And a big congratulations to Mikaela and Shane. I wish them all the very best for married life :)

It’s been over a year since I posted some proposals so I figured it was about time I featured some more, because I bloomin’ love them! Almost every single one makes me cry… but happy tears so that’s OK :) Hope you enjoy these as much as I did…

Splash Mountain

This proposal was done in secret and only revealed to the bride-to-be Lindsay when she saw the photo flash up on the screen at the end of the ride! Hey boyfriend Chris got his friends in on it and one friend carried the signs round in their backpack, numbered so when they were passed out quickly on the ride before the photo opportunity they were the right way around! I love that she had no idea this was happening at the time! And I bet the staff behind the photo booth were pleased as I’m sure they managed to shift this photo despite the extortionate price ;)

Movie Magic

So much time and effort went into this one… I love that you can see her reaction to the proposal too!

Regular Magic

It’s a little long but this proposal is actually worth watching even if you’re not that bothered about the actual proposal… because that magician is awesome with sleight of hand tricks!

Say it with paint

Oh so adorable! Just a shame she couldn’t take the wall with her and put it in her home (I’d want to!)

This fab shoot captured by Jonathan of Australian-based Vibrant Photography features his assistant Nelson and Nelson’s girlfriend Jess. They stood in for a test shoot for an upcoming fashion shoot Jonathan had, and a few images in you’ll see why I love it so much…

Awww! It wasn’t a test shoot at all, that was just a clever guise for Nelson to propose to his gorgeous girlfriend Jess when she wouldn’t be expecting it! He’d asked Jess’s dad for her hand in marriage, had designed and paid for the engagement ring and asked his friend and photographer Jonathan to capture the entire event. And Jess had absolutely no idea! Good work Nelson :D

I love these images so much! Proposals are brilliant always, but I love it when the emotion that goes with that moment is captured. Just look at how happy she is, well, after the shock; I don’t think she believed it at first. The images that came after are so sweet too. Also how cute is that heart-shaped ring? Very cute!
