Bishop's Garden Surprise Wedding Proposal

Tami + Elham

Planning the perfect proposal takes some planning! Although you may see social media showing you the end results and calling it easy, these moments are carefully crafted. Here are some questions to consider when planning a surprise proposal:

• Location

  Where would be the perfect place to propose? Consider a special place like your first date spot or the school where you met. 

• When

  When is the best time to propose? Consider a significant day like an anniversary, Christmas, or a graduation. 

• Who to involve

  Is it important to ask your partner's parents for permission? Do you want friends or family around for your proposal?

• Story

  What story will you tell about how you proposed? Make it a good one that you can share with friends and family. 

• Plan B

  What is your plan if something doesn't go as planned? For example, if the weather is bad. 

• Ring size

  How do you find out your partner's ring size? You can ask a friend or relative, use a ring size chart, or browse rings together at a jewelry store. 

• Photographer

  If you're hiring a photographer, you can ask questions like:

  • Are you familiar with the location? 

  • How will you make the proposal a surprise? 

  • Whats the difference between an engagement session and a proposal session? 

  • Will I receive a preview after the proposal?
