Engagement Season Prep
Football season, Pumpkin Latte Season, Fall Season but Engagement Season? Is that a thing?? Great question, and Engagement Season is most certainly a reality!! Every year between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day there seems to be a rush of proposals. WeddingWire.com estimates that approximately one in three of all engagements take place during this time frame. At Touch of Elegance we want you to be ready to drop to one knee, so we put together a list of some of the most awe inspiring proposals on the net; cause let’s be honest you are going to be telling this story for YEARS. LET’S MAKE IT FABULOUS!!!!!
1. Over a Cup of Coffee
We love the idea of a surprise attack!! Sip a morning coffee with your loved one and when they finish it off they will be blown away, and most importantly fully alert to answer “YES!!”
2. Between the Pages of Their Favorite Book
We are obsessed with proposals that sneak up on you!! Opening your book to do some reading and finding a beautiful ring is definitely most unexpected. Bonus points for a romantic book or for highlighting letters to spell out “WILL YOU MARRY ME.”
3. A Cute Puppy is Hard to Say No To!
Who could possibly say no to that adorable face?! Using your puppy to help with the proposal is a great way to get the whole gang involved.
4. Photo Booth “I DO”
Getting your proposal on camera is always a plus!! A photo booth is a great way to show the progression of the proposal. Your significant other will not be expecting it!
5. Spell it out with a magical Hot Air Balloon
Have your special someone look to the sky for the big proposal. This engagement idea has such a big wow factor that no one will be able to resist saying YES!!
6. A Fabulous Fortune!!
A cozy night in with chinese becomes a night of a lifetime with a special fortune!!
Forget the Groom’s Cake!! LATE NIGHT EATS ARE ALL THE RAGE!!
After countless drinks, and busting out your best moves on the dance floor, a little midnight snack is always appreciated! Late night wedding eats are a huge trend of 2015, and brides and grooms are having so much fun with it! We planned a wedding recently where the groom wanted White Castle burgers brought in at the end of the night!
Guests loved a delicious treat to take with them on their journey home! While burgers are quite popular, we also love these other creative late night eats ideas!!! Who’s hungry?!?!
Popcorn
Fill personalized bags with the popcorn of your choice: regular, garlic, cheddar, or even caramel corn!! Your guests will love that they can grab and go with this special treat.
Coffee and Donuts
Offer your guests some coffee, to offset all that champagne, while they munch on a delicious donut from your favorite local place! You can add some detail by including your initials and wedding date on the cups!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE
Milk and cookies
Bring things back to the good old days; who doesn’t love milk and cookies?!?! We’re obsessed with these heart-shaped cookies, talk about wedding perfection!
Pretzel and a Coke
A salty pretzel is just the thing to grab after a lot of dancing! Pair that delicious pretzel with an adorable bottled coke or soda for the perfect “end- of- wedding” snack!
We hope you enjoyed these fun late night eats ideas! Let us help you with your late night wedding needs and any and all party coordination concerns ! Contact us at :

Mr. Discontinued?! We Think Not! How to Make your Father Feel Special on the Big Day!!
In Father of the Bride, one of the most iconic wedding films of all time (in our opinion), George Banks has a difficult time coping with his daughter’s upcoming nuptials. “I was no longer the man in my little girl’s life. I was like an old shoe. The kind we manufacture and get all excited about, then after a few years discontinue. That was me now. Mr. Discontinued.”
With Father’s Day approaching this weekend- we thought we would chat a bit about what you can do to honor your father on the big day. We don’t want your Dad feeling like an old shoe!
We found this terrific article on Huffington Post with great ways to incorporate your dad! Check it out!
