1. Eco-Friendly Decor

As society becomes more environmentally conscious, couples are incorporating sustainability into their proposal decor. This trend emphasizes the use of locally-sourced, organic, and reusable items. This could involve using potted plants or local flowers instead of cut blooms or decorating with items like antique furniture that can be reused. The use of LED lights instead of traditional lighting options is also very common. This approach not only minimizes the ecological footprint but also adds a sense of authenticity and thoughtfulness to the decor.

2. Personalized Signage

Personalized signs are a significant trend in 2023, with couples using them to add a unique touch to their proposal decor. These signs, often lit up with LEDs or neon, can display the couple’s names, a meaningful quote, or the all-important question. Placed against the backdrop of the New York City skyline, a personalized sign can create a visually stunning and deeply personal moment. Neon signs with ” It was always you’, ” Better together”, ” I choose you’ are on a high rise this year.

3. Marquee letters and cold sparkles

This year we see a rise in the popularity of the “Will you marry me’ marquee letters and cold sparkles combination. This is the perfect decor for a stunning proposal and ideal background for the pictures.

4. Heirloom Decor

Incorporating family heirlooms or items of sentimental value into the decor can add a personal and nostalgic touch to the proposal. This could be anything from a grandparent’s vintage tablecloth to a cherished childhood memento. This decor trend reflects the merging of two families and honors the past as you look toward your future.

5. DIY Decor

DIY decor has been on the rise in 2023, reflecting the personalization trend. Handmade items, such as paper lanterns, photo collages, or hand-painted signs, can make the proposal setting more personal and intimate. This approach allows couples to imbue the decor with memories and symbols that are unique to their love story.

6. Monochromatic Themes

The monochromatic decor trend involves choosing a single color and decorating in various shades of that hue. This creates a visually striking and cohesive aesthetic. You might choose your partner’s favorite color or a color that holds special significance to your relationship.

7. Interactive Decor

The interactive decor adds an element of surprise and engagement to the proposal. This could include a ‘memory lane’ walkway with photos and mementos from your relationship or a ‘wishing tree’ where you both can hang written promises or dreams for the future.

In conclusion, the proposal decor trends of 2023 are all about personalization, authenticity, and meaningful experiences. The options are limitless when it comes to creating a space that reflects your unique love story against the backdrop of the New York City skyline.

There are a number of factors to keep in mind when you are planning a stunning marriage proposal. Such as:

• Privacy
  It is always better to choose a private venue for a marriage proposal as it will give you more freedom for creativity. You can decorate the place in any way you like, invite friends and family, and be sure your partner feels comfortable showing her emotions.
• Make it all about your partner
  This is a perfect opportunity to show your partner how well you know them. Include her favorite song into the proposal, the flowers that she likes, and a secret photographer to take pictures. Girls love to see the effort and thoughtfulness.
• “Will You Marry Me?” sign
  We all saw those pictures of beautiful flower arches or exotic decorations, but these settings can be done for any event such as a baby shower, bachelor party, anniversary, and wedding. It is something about the “Will you marry me?” or “Marry me?” signs that can be done only once in your life and this makes it very special. So we truly believe that your marriage proposal has to have a “will you marry me?” sign of any kind.

As a company that is specializing in marriage proposals, we have a wide variety of different sign options, and here are some tips on how to choose the perfect “Marry Me?” sign.

1. Small 10 inch Led “Marry Me” sign

   This sign would be too small to stand by itself, but will absolutely work as a part of the decorations on a smaller rooftop. For example, if you choose a “Classic rooftop” and add a champagne table to your proposal, this sign would look absolutely stunning as a part of the decor.

2. Red Led “Marry Me?” sign

   This sign is big enough to stand on its own but would look absolutely fabulous with the red roses in a heart and led candles. It is also a perfect option for daytime proposals. You can use it on any type of rooftop.

   

3. White 2 ft “Will you marry me?”, “Marry Me?” letters

   Those letters are rather large and would work on small or large terraces. They will look the best in the combination with led candles or flower heart. Also, the perfect daytime option. Those letters need support, so our ‘sparkling rooftop’ or ‘penthouse’ would be the best rooftop choices.

4. White 3 ft Led “Marry Me” letters

   This sign is the most popular option for a stunning marriage proposal. Works perfect on small and large terraces and can be used for daytime proposals or for a more dramatic effect in the evening. These letters are large enough to make the statement but not too intimidating.This sign can stand on its own or be a part of the decor, combined with flowers and candles. This is also a perfect option for the hotel room makeover, when the sign is illuminated the room full of balloons and flowers.

5. White 5 ft Led “Marry Me” letters

   A new trend of 2022, these huge letters are tricky to use. Being very tall, they need to be placed on larger rooftops, so that the photographer has enough space to get the full sign in one frame. Also, those letters are very light and need additional support, otherwise, the letters are falling down from the wind. And couples always look smaller, when they are posing next to those large letters. The best way to use those letters will be on larger terraces or outside.

6. “Will you marry me?” banner

   This is a perfect option for a rooftop proposal as you can hang the banner across the rooftop or place it next to the wall. Probably better to use during the day or on the terraces that have additional lighting. Also, this is the most customized option, as you can add your partner name or some additional phrases.

If you are planning to propose on a private rooftop during the summer season, you made a right choice. Summer is the rooftop time. It is magical, warm nights and fresh air – ideal for surprise engagements. But rooftop by itself, won’t make the magic, you still need to think of how to enhance your proposal. We think, that some decorations can be a key point for an ideal engagement.
Here are our 5 tips for a summer rooftop decorations.

1. Real Flowers

Nothing is more romantic as the real smell of the flowers. We can make a flower arch or cover the whole floor in the real rose petals or maybe you want a magnificent flower heart on the floor? The main thing is to use the real flowers and real flower petals.
You would be surprised, but we had guys who were buying fake plastic petals and cover the floor with it. The look and the smell were not romantic at all. So use only REAL flowers.

2. Private table for two.

Summer rooftops are ideal for a romantic dinner or champagne celebration. To enhance the moment, put the nicely decorated table with the tablecloth, champagne, and strawberries on the roof. Just imagine, she says “yes” and you two opening a champagne and calling your family. Also, what a perfect way to tell her all about your proposal planning as not with the glass and glorious view.

3. Illuminated Props

If you are planning a nighttime proposal on the rooftop, you definitely need some candles and illuminated props. The more lights the better. We love using the red candles in glass vases as it looks very classic and romantic. Also, any kind of string lights and fairy lights will work. For those, who want to bring the proposal to the next level, the illuminated ‘MARRY ME?” marquee letters will make her “WOW”.
Just don’t overdo it. It needs to be balanced and look stylish, as the main spot of attention should be your significant other and not the props.

4. Pictures

One of the best way to see how far you came from ” dating” to ” getting married” is to make a memory walk through the pictures. Print the pictures and place it around the roof, or clip them on the wires and let them hand around. She will be touched to see all those good memories hanging there. If you want to have fun with it, we can order an Instagram picture frame and place it on a rooftop. You can start making memories right there!

5. Movie/Cartoons scene decoration

For those couples, who loves ” Beauty and the Beast” or ” Friends”, just imagine how wonderful it will be to decorate the rooftop with the enchanted rose and lights from the world famous love story. If she always dreamed of being a princess, give her that chance on this special night. Prepare a princess dress, hire a musician and let the fairy tale come into your life.
