There is one main reason why I love my job as much as I do. Of course, I am in love with details – gorgeous flowers, stunning gowns – and I love beautiful photography and grand celebrations. But the number one thing that makes me so excited to get to work every day has to be the love. I am a big baby when it comes to romance so by the time I finished this Perth video by Urban Light Films I was a blabbering mess. It is so sweet and touching and focuses on the perfect love between this adorable couple. I dare you to watch it with a dry eye!
From Derek of Urban Light Films… Stephanie and Alan’s incredible love story began when they first met each other in Perth, and it was very much love at first sight. They both knew they had found their special one that evening. Since she was a little girl, Stephanie had always dreamed about getting proposed in a beautiful city like Paris. One day, while both of them were touring around the enchanting city of Paris via horse and carriage, Alan knelt down and proposed with a big ring in his hands. Stephanie was so taken aback by the surprise she burst out crying with tears of happiness. She said YES!
Here is the same day edit video presented at their wedding reception.

Whether you are the one doing the proposing or the one being proposed to, your Proposal Day is one of the most important days of your life. So, why not fill it to the brim with pretty pastel balloons, yummy treats and sweet colorful blooms?!? Well, Alanna Lock of White Room Events did just that in one seriously swoon-worthy inspiration shoot… and with the help of some uber-talented vendors like Lotus Flowers and Akimbo, she’s making every one of my proposal dreams come true. Thankfully, Melody Gibbs was on hand to capture all of the magic, so I can spend my day lost in L.O.V.E. Join me in the gallery for more!

Oh, and we’re not done yet. Lukasz Bebnowski of Cinecraft Australia sent along this darling behind-the-scenes look at all of the pretty. Enjoy!
Alanna Lock of White Room Events… The concept for the shoot was simple, it’s a story about young love etched into a sea of pastel, prettiness and sparkle! We wanted to create a shoot based on a proposal so we set out to create a soft and romantic vibe infused with a dose of fun and playfulness. The entrance door had a balloon tied to the door knob with a cute little tag that reads, “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” This is from a famous love poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. We filled the room with pastel coloured balloons in pale pink, mint green, baby blue and lavender. Each balloon was tied with long strips of wool in matching pastel colours and each string had a tag that listed one of the reasons why Phillip loves Tania, for example, “I love the sound of your laughter,” “I love the kindness of your heart” etc.
A Pastel Proposal – The Story… For sweethearts Phillip and Tania, love is, indeed, a lot like “floating around.” So much, in fact, that Phillip knew instantly he wanted floating balloons to be the centre of his surprise proposal to his future wife. “There’s something ethereal about a room full of balloons,” Phillip writes. “They instantly provide hope and whimsy. That’s precisely what Tania gives to me every day.” Hope, whimsy, and a bundle of other amazing qualities, all tied to a sea of balloons and listing a different reason Phillip loves Tania. From kindness to inner beauty, Phillip spent countless hours identifying every trait he adores in Tania. At the end of that list, of course, is just one missing characteristic he desires in her: to be his wife. “The white box is a symbol of her pure heart, and the handmade beads signify her childlike faith. She’s an amazing girl, and I’m so blessed to keep her forever.” Phillip writes. And yes, he gets to keep her forever. After Tania arrived at the secret proposal destination, greeted with a sea of love notes, balloons and a treats table, her eyes welled with joyful tears. “I can’t believe Phillip went to all this trouble. I’d marry him if he proposed at a gas station!” Thus, she snacked on a “Yes” cookie, posed for a few heartfelt photos and dreamed of the life they’ll float through together — forever. - From Erin Loechner of Design for Mankind
