With a little help from friends and family, Daniel pulled off a fantastic beach proposal. Gathering at Huntington Beach (home of some terrific margaritas, btw), his co-conspirators wore tee shirts spelling out “Will you marry me?” And of course, Brilane said yes! These pictures are why you make sure that you invite a photographer to a proposal this big. Thank you to Bretti and Tori Photographers for sharing this very magical moment!
Congratulations! You have finally found that special someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. The only thing left to do is ask the “big” question. But how do you ask her?

Whether you’re looking for simple, elegant ideas or want to go big and bold, we’ve got you covered. Here are some eco-friendly proposal ideas for the beautiful future spouse.
1. Simple and Private in the Great Outdoors
Pick a local park, beach, or hiking trail with background scenery that will be enough to make anyone say yes!…
I have to admit, until today, I was woefully ignorant that there were such things as a gray and brown diamonds (did you know?). And, I’m not sure I would have bought into the idea of wearing one as an engagement ring… That is until I checked out Satomi Kawakita’s line and saw how understated yet totally cool alternative diamonds look in her funky settings.
Having worked in just about every art form (glass blower, wood, metal and textile designer, diamond setter), Satomi settled into jewelry design in 2008, but you can still feel the influence of her other mediums. Every piece has a very organic feel so even the smaller settings stand out in their uniqueness; you can further…

Hello lovely readers of Delightfully Engaged – I am thrilled to be sharing yet another creative wedding feature with you all! This time it is all about getting engaged!
This love shoot was a surprise engagement inspired by old Hollywood glam mixed together with vintage Valentine touches. The groom-to-be surprised his long time girlfriend with a creative engagement by having her think they were doing a fun shoot. Little did she know she was about to become a fiancé. Enjoy!

So I was finally coming down from our big announcement this morning and then I ran into these Momiji dolls and now I’m all excited again (no need for caffeine when you’re a wedding blogger…). Aren’t they the cutest?
And they are more than meets the eye. Each hand-painted doll has a space inside for a tiny secret message where you can write a message of love or, even better, ask the “big question.” They would be such a romantic way to surprise her on Valentine’s Day, plus she’d have a tiny keepsake of the big moment to take with her.
These pieces are limited-edition with only 2500 sets created world-wide, which means that your proposal will be truly unique (and if you want to buy one, you’ll have to hop to it).
