Once you’ve chosen a date, time, and location for your proposal and booked me as your proposal photographer, it’s time to think about those extra details that will make your moment truly unforgettable. Whether it’s something simple but meaningful, like a bottle of champagne and flowers, or a more elaborate setup, adding a personal touch can make all the difference.
I’m here to assist you every step of the way. You can even have any decor items delivered directly to my studio, and I’ll bring them along to the session. If you’re looking for bigger ideas, I’m happy to share some of our preferred vendors who have worked with our clients in the past and helped create stunning proposal setups.
This isn’t an exhaustive list of all the talented vendors in Charleston, but these are the ones we’ve worked with most often and can wholeheartedly recommend. We’re always open to collaborating with any vendors you love, and this list is here to help guide you in planning your perfect proposal.
Picnic Experiences:
Picnic Charleston offers beautifully arranged picnic sets that are perfect for celebrating your proposal. These setups not only look amazing in photos but also provide a romantic way to enjoy the moment after your session.
Balloons:
Boom Balloons Charleston can bring your creative vision to life, whether it’s a balloon arch, a secret box filled with balloons, or any other unique idea you have in mind. Their designs add a fun and festive touch to your proposal.
Flowers:
For stunning floral arrangements, consider Country and Lace Florist and Sweetgrass Flowers. Whether you want vases filled with fresh blooms or a heart made entirely of flowers, these local florists can craft the perfect decor to compliment your proposal.
Boat Rides:
Charleston Sailing Charters offers an unforgettable way to celebrate your proposal on the water. A boat ride provides breathtaking views and a serene setting, making it an ideal backdrop for your special moment.
Carriage Rides:
For a quintessential Charleston experience, for example, Palmetto Carriage Works provides romantic carriage rides. This is a charming way to end your proposal, but remember to coordinate your location, as not all Charleston streets allow carriages.
Musicians:
If you want live music to set the mood, Lowcountry Pianist & Company offers musicians with a variety of instruments. Lowcountry Strings also provides talented musicians who can add a romantic touch to your special day. Live music can create a magical atmosphere for your proposal, making the moment even more memorable.
Marquee Letters:
Alpha Lit Charleston offers large, illuminated letters that can spell out a message of love. These marquee letters can be set up at your proposal location, adding a dramatic and romantic touch to the scene. Another fantastic option is K&J Lit Letters, a local, family-owned company that provides beautiful marquee letters to enhance your special moment with a warm and personalized touch.
