Holiday Proposal Inspiration

12/12/2021

By Carrie Stadtmueller, Content Conductor

We are smack dab in the middle of prime Engagement Season, and Christmas is the crowning jewel - no pun intended, of dates when smitten gentlemen like to pop the question. And it’s no big surprise why – twinkly lights, decorated trees, winter wonderlands – the setting and decor is pretty much-taken care of for you. It’s practically a Hallmark Movie waiting to happen! The holidays are already a romantic time of year, it’s no wonder, many couples capitalize on the romance of it all!

If you are looking into popping the question this holiday season, there are some things you may want to consider before you get down on one knee:

Think about what your partner likes
Is your partner a private person? If so, a proposal in front of your entire family over Christmas dinner might not be the best option – even if you both absolutely love each other’s families. If they are a more private person, perhaps a quiet walk on a snowy path in the woods? Or a horse-drawn carriage in on a crisp winter’s night under twinkle lights downtown? There are still ways to involve your families and friends after she has said yes — which leads us into the next consideration…..

Check with your partner’s friends and family
Are you thinking about asking your significant other to marry you during gift opening or some other party or event? You may want to let someone else know so that it isn’t a complete surprise to EVERYONE else there. They are all going to want to be a part of the big event. You’d hate to have someone miss out, and they can all serve as extra help!

Weather
If you’re planning an outdoor proposal, you will want to keep the weather in mind. If you live in Colorado - this is just a given - you always want to have a backup plan. We think a snowy proposal could actually be very romantic – however, a blizzard, not so much!

Plan ahead
Don’t assume that you’ll be able to walk into your favorite restaurant or bar for drinks. We are still living in a pandemic. Some establishments are still operating under limited capacity. So please – plan ahead! Don’t wait until the last minute to call for reservations! This time of year is always busier and typically gets booked months in advance.

You may also need to enlist other vendors to help you pull off your perfect proposal – florists, event rentals, musicians – whomever you may choose to help with your Big Day – this is a very busy time of year for event professionals. PLAN, PLAN, PLAN. Don’t have your dream of a holiday proposal thwarted by poor planning.

Places in Colorado to POP the Question

8/13/2019

The proposal is a story you will tell for the rest of your life. "How did he do it?" "Where did you do it?" "Did you know it was coming?" "How did you react?"

Where and how you propose or are proposed to can be as important as the Big Day itself.

If you are struggling to find the right location or right time, listen to your gut, and check out a few ideas from us!

Where you met

Maybe you met at a bar, a friend's house, or at a political rally. Go back to the place where it all began and recreate the first time you met.

Where you had your first date

Maybe your first date was a complete strike out, but you were lucky enough to score a second one. Or perhaps it was the kind of date that inspires corny movies. If it was memorable, it might be worth reliving.

By a body of water

There is something so relaxing and romantic about water. A peaceful walk with no one around, ultimate privacy with a sunrise or sunset, and the sound of gentle waves.... Is this your style?
There are great views and private spots all over Colorado!

Grand Lake
Chatfield Reservoir
Horsetooth Reservoir
Boulder Reservoir
Prospect Lake
Boyd Lake
Lake Granby
Lake Dillon
The Big Thompson
Lily Lake

In a snow storm

Just as with a peaceful lake, a snow storm proposal comes with built in romance. Quiet snow, the threat of not being able to leave home for a couple days, hot chocolate, a crackling fire.... what's not to love?

On a mountain top

Whether you hike, take a gondola, a train, or drive... a mountain top proposal ranks up there with romantic Colorado proposal locations. Just be sure your fiance to be has enough air!

In Loveland

Loveland, Colorado is the Nation's Sweetheart City after all. And it's right here in Colorado! The trendy downtown bodes many unique places to pop the question. You can visit the Valentine exhibit at the Loveland Museum Gallery, and you can 'Lock Your Love' on the now famous sculpture at the Loveland Visitor's Center.

At an event you will only find in Colorado

Colorado is home to many memorable, unique events. Find one that suits your style, have fun, and make the proposal the cherry on top of your day!

Why You Should Say YES To Boudoir Photos

11/8/2014

-by Jessica Weimer

Boudoir photo shoots have become more and more popular with brides in the last couple years. The idea of boudoir is to take sexy pictures in pretty lingerie and give it to your man on the wedding day so he can anticipate the night to come. Some brides don’t understand this tradition or don’t understand the need for it; we are here to tell you it is something you definitely don’t want to miss out on, not just for your future husband, who will definitely appreciate the thought, but for yourself!

Here are our top 3 reasons you should say YES to a boudoir shoot:

1. It’s fun! When chatting with a newly married friend of mine, I asked her her experience with boudoir. She told me at first she was not into it; she couldn’t understand how she wouldn’t feel weird being half naked and having someone take her picture. But then she told me how the photographer started off by asking what her favorite features were and what her fiancé loved most about her body, she would then position her in poses that accentuated these qualities. This made her feel more confident about how the pictures would turn out. The photographer would then tell her she looked great or that pose was really sexy and it made her feel empowered! Having these pictures taken isn’t just for your fiancé to enjoy it is also a great way for you to enjoy yourself and boost your self-esteem by realizing you are beautiful!

2. You get to wear really fun underwear. One of the best parts of boudoir is going and buying the sexy lingerie. This is a fun girl trip and gives you the chance to get something really beautiful and fun that your fiancé will go crazy for! If you really wanted to get creative you can incorporate your fiancés button up shirt or use props like pearls and fans, this creates a totally new and fun look.

3. You don’t have to be naked. Some woman can think boudoir is borderline porn, just naked pictures, but boudoir doesn’t have to be like that! If you get a good photographer who has a good eye, your pictures can be very artistic and play with shadows and angles just right, that it is suggestive more than full frontal. These pictures can sometimes turn out more sexy and alluring because they are just a hint of something more.

We think choosing to do boudoir isn’t just for your fiancé, but for yourself and learning to love your body the way it is. Wedding planning can be stressful and this is a great way to get away from the details and focus on doing something special for your future husband. Once you try it you won’t regret the way it made you feel or the fun time you had!
