Proposal Styled Shoot #popthequestion

I guess my last post about Galentine was very women-oriented and to do so in Valentine’s month and ignore half the other world meant I owed an even-handed post! Life has a way of balancing itself and I get this request from a gentleman to style a proposal shoot for February 14^th. While proposal shoots in particular have a lot to do with the person saying yes to the question, I believe it must encompass the likes of the one asking for the hand. After all you accept each other with all their goods and interests! While I was designing the details for this particular couple (to-be), I thought of putting up a mini shoot for my readers’ view. Thanks to the groom-to-be, he let me use his request details to create this shoot!

While I predominantly deal with women for tea parties and event styling, around the year I do get contacted by few gentlemen for variety of requests. In a lot of ways, it is so easier to work with men whether they are planning a tea for their daughters or selling antiques to me or in cases like these, consulting for proposal styling – the questions and answers are very specific; they really know how to cut a long story short, just like this client who in few words, told me enough to-the-point details to create the desired scene: the lady appears to like accents of vintage items, the guy is more of an urban-buff with retro streak. They both however love Pottery Barn and cake so here is a combination of all things combined.

Credits: For this shoot, the hand-made props, china and linen are from my personal collection. The cake topper, ribbon and heart tag were all tea-stained to add vintage accents. The best feature is our vintage cork bottle, Lemonade Aux Extraits Naturels De Citron France from 1960s. The naked cake was provided by Mehr’s Cake Corner – a local cake expert! She also provided desserts for our Galentine’s shoot! Happy Valentine’s Day y’all and happy planning!!
